Solderalljoints.TheN2MBrecommendedsolderingmethodisavailableat
http://www.n2mb.com.Useamultimetertoverifyallwiresbeforetheyarecutortapped
into.Thecolorsofwiresfrommodelyeartomodelyearmaydiffer,andmaybedifferenton
yourcarfromthosedescribedintheseinstructions.Wherediscrepanciesareknown,they
aredescribed,buttheremaybemorediscrepanciesthanthoselisted.Thebestwaytoknow
thatyouhavetherightwireistochecktheconnectivitytotheECUand/orsensoratthepins
described.
Intheseinstructions,picturesincludeotheraftermarketalterationsinadditiontotheWOT
Box.N2MBisnotaffiliatedwiththesedevices.Inaddition,ifyouseesomethingthatisn’tin
yourvehicle,don’tworry.
Routewiresinthemannerthatyouwantthemtoliepermanentlybeforeconnectingthem.
Cutwirestolengthbeforesoldering;avoidcoilingwiresofexcessivelengthastheycancause
noiseinthecircuit,alteringtheoperationoftheWOTBox.Spendingsomeextratimehere
willenhancetheaestheticsoftheinstall.Ziptiesareincludedtosecurethewiresawayfrom
heat,movingparts,sharpedges,oranythingelsethatcandamagethewires.


1) Openthehoodanddisconnectthe
12Vbatterynegative.

2) Pickoutalocationtomountthe
WOTBox.TheWOTBoxmustbe
installedinsidethepassenger
compartmentsinceitisnot
waterproof.Additionally,youwill
wanttomaketheWOTBox
accessibletothedriver,duetothe
factthatsettingthe2‐stepRPMwill
requireholdingdowntheclutch
pedalwhileholdingthebuttonon
theWOTBox.TapetheWOTBox
connectortothislocation.

3) Removethepassengersideplastic
doorsill/thresholdcover(notools
required),removethepushpin,and
thenremoveplasticpassengerkick
panel.

4) Removethe3screwsholdingthe
bracketunderneaththekickpanel.

5) Loosentheconnectorsecuringbolt,

theBLUEandYELLOWwirestothis
location,usingziptiestosecure
alongtheway.

7) SplicetheBLUEWOTBoxwireinto
theGRAY/WHITEwireatpin#89,
makingsurethattheconnectivityof
theoriginalwireismaintained.The


8) SplicetheYELLOWWOTBoxwire
intotheDARKBLUEwireatpin#21,
makingsurethattheconnectivityof
theoriginalwireismaintained.

9) Snapthebackshellbackontothe
connectorandconnectitbacktothe
PCM.Waittoremountthebracket
andplastictrimuntilaftertesting.

11) RoutetheGREENWOTBoxwireto
thislocation,usingzip‐tiestosecure
alongtheway,andsplicetheGREEN
WOTBoxWireintothePIN#1
(BOTTOMPIN,TOWARDSREAROF
VEHICLE)LIGHTGREENwire,making
surethattheoriginalconnectivityof
thewireismaintained.
12) Locateagoodchassisgroundpoint
nearwhereyouplanoninstalling
theWOTBox.Trytokeepthewire
runasshortaspossible.Itshouldbe
under2’away,ifpossible.Next,cut
the18AWGBLACKwirefromthe
WOTBoxtolength.Stripthewire
andsolidlycrimpontheprovided
groundlugconnection.Solderthe
groundwiretothegroundlug.
Connectthisgroundlugtothe
chassis.Makesurethemetalwhere
youattachthegroundlugisclean,
unpaintedandfreeofrust.Usesand
papertopreparethesurface,if
needed.Thisconcludestheinterior
portionoftheinstall.
11)
13) Locateaharnesspass‐throughon
thefirewallaccessiblefromthe
passengercompartment.Someof
thesearegrommetsthathave
enoughroomforextrawirestobe
passedthroughnexttotheexisting
harness.Somehaveatightlyfitting
skirtthattheharnesspasses
throughthatdoesnotallowfor
extrawires.Ifyoursisthesecond,
carefullypokeanewholeintheskirt
usingasharpobject,suchasa
screwdriver.Becarefulnotto
damageotherwiresalreadyinthe
grommet,andmakesurethatthe
holeisonlylargeenoughforthe
RED/ORANGEpairfromtheWOT
box topassthrough.Ifitistoolarge,
watercanleakin.Passthe
RED/ORANGEpairintotheengine
compartment.

14) LocatetheC133connectorinthe
passengersiderearoftheengine
compartment,unscrewthe10mm
bolt,unplugit,andfindthebigRED
wireatpin#34.Routethe
RED/ORANGEWOTboxpairtothis
location,usingziptiestosecure
alongtheway.
15) Makingsuretoleaveenoughroom
toconnectonbothsides,cutthered
wire.
16) Splitabout3”oftheRED/ORANGE
WOTboxpairapart.Connectthe
REDWOTboxwiretothesideofthe
REDwiregoingtotheC133
connector,andtheBLACKWOTbox
wiretothesideoftheREDwire
goingintotheloomandtothecoils.
17) RemovethetapesecuringtheWOT
boxconnector.PlugintheWOT box,
andmountsecurely.
18) Replaceanycomponentsremoved
forconvenienceduringtheinstall,
reconnectthe12Vbattery,andclose
thehood.TheWOTBoxinstallis
complete‐proceedtotesting.

Troubleshooting‐TestingtheWOTBox
1. Keyonthecarbutdonotstarttheengine.Pressthegaspedaltothefloor.Youshouldsee
theLEDontheWOTBoxstarttorapidlyblink.Ifitdoesnot,checkyourAPPsensorsignal
connection(WOTBoxBLUEwire).
2. Next,withthegaspedalstilldepressed,presstheclutchpedaltothefloor.Youshouldsee
theLEDontheWOTBoxbrieflygoout,andthencomebackonsolidforonesecondand
thenfinallyresumeblinkingrapidly.Ifyoudonotseethis,checkyourClutchPedalPosition
Switchsignalconnection(WOTBoxGREENwire).
3. Next,starttheengine.Quicklypressthegaspedaltothefloorandimmediatelysteponthe
clutch.Youshouldheartheenginestarttorevup,stumbleforashortperiodwhilethe
ignitioniscut,thenreturnbackonandcontinuerevving.Removeyourfootfromthegas
beforeyouhittherevlimiter.The2‐stepwillnotengageifthegasisdepressedbeforethe
clutch.Thisisnormal.IftheenginedoesnotstumbleorpausewhentheLEDturnsout,then
checktheRED/ORANGEpairedwire.VerifythattheREDandORANGE16AWGwiresare
wired facingtheproperway.Iftheyarereversed,theignitioncutwillnotwork.
4. Lastly,testthe2‐Step.Presstheclutchpedaldownandthenquicklypressthegaspedalall
thewaydown.Thegaspedalmustbeflooredforthe2‐steptoengage.Theengineshould
revuptothedesiredRPMandhold.Ifitdoesnot,besuretoremoveyourfootfromthegas
beforeyouhittherevlimiter.Ifthe2‐stepdoesnotwork,checktheWOTBoxYELLOW
wire.
5. TheWOTBoxGraphicalUserInterfacehassomeinherenttroubleshootingcapability.Ifyou
haveaccesstoalaptop,itmaybeusefulforyoutodownloadtheGUIat
www.n2mb.com/wotboxsoftwareandfollowtheinstructionsthere.
Usage
TousetheWOTShiftfeature,keepyourfootfullyonthegasandshiftquicklyusingtheclutch.
Keepthegasfullydepressedthroughtheshift.TheWOTBoxwilldetecttheclutchswitchsignal
andbrieflycuttheignitiontoenableaneffortlessshift.
Tousethe2‐Stepfeature,fullydepresstheclutch.Next,fullydepressthegaspedaltothefloor.
TheenginewillrevupandholdtheRPMthatyouhaveset.Quicklyreleasetheclutchwhile
leavingthegasfullydepressedtolaunchthecar.
Programming
TheWOTBoxcomespresetforanautomaticWOTShiftkilltime.ThismeansthattheWOTBox
willautomaticallyadjustthekilltimetoyourshifttime,uptoamaximumof350ms.Ifyou
wouldlikemanualcontrolovertheWOTShiftkilltime,startthecarandholddownthebutton
onthemoduleandwaitfortheLEDtobegintoblink.Usingthechartbelow,findthenumberof
blinksthatcorrespondstothedesiredkilltime.Setting0blinkswilldisabletheWOTShift

featureandsetting1blinkwillsettheautomatickilltimemode.Whenyouhavereachedthe
numberofblinksthatmatchyourdesiredsetting,simplyletgoofthebutton.Toconfirm,the
WOTBoxwillblinkbackoutthesettingyouentered.
TheWOTBoxcomespresetfora2‐stepRPMof4000.Tosetthe2‐StepRPM,repeatthesame
proceduredescribedabove,butkeeptheclutchdownduringtheentireoperation.Thiswill
signifytotheWOTBoxthatyouwanttosetthe2‐stepRPMandnottheWOTShiftkilltime.Use
thesecondchartprovidedbelowtomatchupthedesiredRPMwiththenumberofblinks.
