Preparation
Before beginning, ensure your vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is turned off. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent electrical shorts. Gather all tools and materials listed above.
Accessing the Engine Bay

Use wire strippers and crimpers to secure connections, and insulate them with electrical tape to prevent shorts.
Mount the boost controller unit in a secure location within the engine bay, avoiding moving parts and high-temperature areas. Use brackets or zip ties as recommended by the manufacturer.
Final Checks and Testing
Reconnect the battery’s negative terminal. Turn on the vehicle and check for any warning lights or error messages. Use the boost controller’s interface to calibrate and test the system according to the manual.
Take your Honda Prologue for a test drive to ensure the performance boost controller functions correctly and provides the desired power increase. Make adjustments if necessary, following the manufacturer’s guidelines.
