DASH LAYOUT



The LCD panel includes readings for the total mileage , the trip odometer, the water temperature and the fuel
gauge. The fuel gauge will flash when the tank is app roaching empty. The panel settings are pre-programmed.
If you wish to modify the default settings, please con tact Brammo Motorsports for programming instructions.

NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with non-canceling tur n signals, they must be cancelled manually.

START SEQUENCE




The
Remote Keyless Immobilizer
When the immobilzer
indicator light is flashing
moderately, the anti-theft
system is armed. The
flashing light will blink rapidly
when the ignition is on (the
system will still be armed).
To unarm the system, wave
the key fob in range of the
transponder antennae (#2 in
diagram). The light will go
off, and the car is then able
to start.
After you kill the ignition
switch the light will stay on
solid for 20 seconds.
If the starter switch is not
pushed within 20 seconds,
the system will re-arm, and
the sequence will need to be
repeated.

BRAKE BEDDING PROCEDURES


Your Ariel Atom 2 will be delivered with set-up, test ing, and checks already completed by the factory; howeve r,
the braking system will still need to be completely bed ded-in before any high speed or very hard deceleration is
attempted. Refer to the following schedule for brake bed-in procedures.

The first 10 miles (16 km): Light braking from 50–60 MPH (80-96 km/h) down to 30 MPH (48 km/h). Perform
this protocol for five iterations allowing time for th e brakes to cool between iterations. Avoid any high sp eed
stops down to zero. Braking from high speeds heats the d isc surface while the interior remains cool and
contributes to warping before the brakes are fully bedd ed.

The first 10-100 miles (16-160 km): Increase braking pressure from about 60 MPH (96 km/h ) to zero.
Observe for the area around the mounting bolts to tu rn light blue. This coloration indicates correct heat soak is
being achieved. Avoid full stops from 70 plus MPH (11 2 km/h).

The first 100-200 miles (160-322 km): Gradually increase brake pressure coming to full stops more rapidly
than during the previous step. After this point, full braking from speed should be p ossible without warping the
discs or experiencing unusual vibration.
For track day use:
Warm, but do not overheat, the brakes during the wa rm up lap(s).
Allow the brakes to cool during a “cool down” lap at the end of the session.
Do not leave your foot on the brake after stopping in the paddock area following braking from high spee ds.
This action would create a “hot spot” and contribute to warping the rotors.

NOTE: To avoid warping, avoid excessive or uneven heating of the rotors.

GM DRIVETRAINS

The Ecotec 2.0L SC (Supercharged) is compact and lightw eight, and its Eaton M62 Supercharger adds 40
percent more power to the Ecotec 2.0L engine compared to a naturally aspirated version. The M62
supercharger utilizes a helical roots compressor and integr al pressure control, producing a maximum of 12-19
PSI of boost. The boosted intake flow exits into an all-new matched intake manifold with an integral air- to-
liquid heat exchange intake charge cooler system. A comp act single-track, six-rib belt supercharger drive
system utilizes a linear tensioning device to further st rengthen the already impressive system performance and
durability. A microprocessor manages the M62 supercharge r, fuel, direct spark delivery systems and the
engine’s 68-mm Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system . ETC delivers outstanding throttle response,
improved reliability and better integration with cru ise control electronics for greater overall performance a nd
drivability.
The Ecotec 2.0L SC engine is built with a six-quart oi l sump and a crankshaft driven pump. A block-mounted
oil cooler, or optional remote cooler, is included to e nsure proper lubricant cooling that promotes long engi ne
life.
The 2.0L SC engine is built exclusively at the FGP (Fi at-GM Powertrain) engine facility in Kaiserslautern,
Germany. This plant uses a die-cast production techniqu e that yields a block that is well suited for high-stress
applications including turbocharging and supercharging.
Often referred to as the Global Four Cylinder, the starting point for the 2.0L SC is the Ecotec 2.2L (RPO L61).
This engine has leveraged GM Powertrain’s worldwide de sign and engineering capability by drawing on the
best practice of technical centers in North America and Eu rope. The Ecotec 2.2L created a template for
subsequent global powertrain development that laid th e groundwork for engines such as Powertrain’s new
Global 3.6: V6. Most important, the Ecotec 2.2L is a world-class gasoline engine with obvious benefits for the

27

customer. At 307 pounds fully dressed, the L61 is the lightest engine GM has produced in its displacement
class, and one of the most compact four-cylinders in the w orld.

Before going into production, every Ecotec engine va riant is subjected to the toughest and most
comprehensive validation process ever carried out at GM, having to pass all of the dynamometer and vehicle
tests traditionally run by various GM organizations wo rldwide, including the most severe trials. Coinciding with
the rollout of the Ecotec program, general engine dur ability testing on lab dynamometers was increased by 60
percent. This has been carried forward to the new Ecot ec supercharged engine.
