You are undoubtedly eager to get started,

but please take a little more time to

insure that your safety is not in jeopardy.

Amoment’s lack of attention may cause a seri-

ous injury to you, or to someone else who hap-

pens to be standing around. By following some

PAXTON Automotive thanks you for your

purchase. We welcome your comments and

simple safety precautions, you can avoid many

potential dangers. The following list is not meant

to be a comprehensive list, but rather it is meant

to make you aware of some of the risks, and

encourage you to take a safety minded approach

to your work area.

•Never rely solely on a floor jack when working under-

neath a vehicle. Always use jack stands that are rated

for the weight of your vehicle, use them at the recom-

mended lift points, and place your vehicle in ‘PARK’ or

‘FIRST’ gear with the parking brake set.

•Always use eye protection when using power tools, such

as drills, saws, and grinders, or when working under-

neath a vehicle.

•Never smoke, use an open flame, or have spark produc-

ing items around gasoline or flammable objects. Always

have a fire extinguisher that is rated for chemical and

electrical fires handy when working on motor vehicles.

Also, make sure that the extinguisher is fully charged.

•Operate engines only in a well ventilated area. Carbon

Monoxide, gasoline, and solvent vapors are colorless

and sometimes odorless, and may asphyxiate and

explode without warning.

•Always disconnect the battery from your engine before

doing work on the electrical or fuel systems, or doing

underdash work.

•The chemicals used in the vehicle systems, such as oils

and coolants, are poisonous. Clean up any spills imme-

diately, and dispose of waste materials properly. Pets,

wild animals, and children may die if they ingest the liq-

uid.

FUEL SYSTEM MODIFICATION

When a supercharger is under boost, the

engine requires more fuel to prevent a lean

condition. The following steps illustrate how

to modify and upgrade your fuel system for

use with the Novi 2000 supercharger.

A. Using the supplied yellow fuel line separa-

tor, disconnect the fuel return line (smaller

of the 2 lines) fitting at the fuel rail. (See

Fig 4-a.).

4.1 FUEL CONTROL UNIT

Snap the two supplied rubber hoses onto

the stock fittings and route both hoses

behind the passenger side strut tower.

B. Using the fuel control unit (FCU) bracket

as a guide, mark and drill two 1/8" holes

in the fenderwell. Secure the FCU to the

passenger side fender with the supplied

fasteners just behind the shock tower. (See

Fig.4-b.)

*** NOTE ***

Keep fuel hoses away from EGR due to excessive

heat.

C. Route a length of supplied vacuum hose

from the top of the FCU to a suitable vac-

uum source going to the intake manifold.

4.2 FUEL TANK/FUEL PUMP REMOVAL

A. This supercharger kit requires the installa-

tion of a high-flow in-tank fuel pump,

which requires that the fuel tank be

removed. To make things easier and clean-

er, be sure that the tank is completely

empty before initiating the following

steps.

B. Using a hydraulic jack, lift the rear of the

vehicle up and place securely on jack

stands.

C. On the passenger side, remove the 8-mm

sheet metal screws holding the filler neck

bracket to the gas tank. (See Fig. 4-d.)

OIL FEED AND RETURN LINE INSTALLATION

5.1 THE PAXTON NOVI 2000 SUPER-

CHARGER RELIES ON PRESSURIZED

ENGINE OIL FOR ITS LUBRICATION.

THE FOLLOWING STEPS ILLUS-

TRATE HOW TO INSTALL THE OIL

PRESSURE FEED LINE AND DRAIN-

BACK FITTING AT THE ENGINE OIL

PAN.

*** NOTE ***

Before you begin the actual oil system modifica-

tions, you must remove the sway bar end links in

preparation for installation procedures that are to

follow.

A. Using a 15mm deep socket and wrench,

remove the top and bottom nuts and

remove the end links. Push the sway bar

up towards the top of the car until it

angles away from the engine. The rubber

bushings will hold the sway bar in place.

B. On the passenger side of the oil pan,

locate the last two bolts on the pan rail

before the front of the engine.

C. Measure 1” down from the oil pan rail and

make an “X” between the two bolts. (See

Fig 5-a.)

Fig. 5-a

Fig. 5-b

D. Using grease cover the drill bit, drill an

1/8-inch pilot hole in the center of your X

mark. Insert a length of wire approximate-

ly 2-1/2" into the hole and make sure that

none of the reciprocating assembly (such

as a connecting rod cap or crankshaft

counterweight) will cause interference

before you continue. If the wire does

encounter any reciprocating parts, turn the

engine over until the path is clear.

E. Using the supplied punch tool and an air

hammer fitted with a blunt-tip chisel

attachment, prepare to enlarge the pilot

hole.

*** NOTE ***

Do not attempt this step with a hand-held hammer,

as it will dent the oil pan and pull the pan rail away

from the block.

Apply a small amount of anti-seize lubri-

cant to the tip of the punch and insert it

into the hole. Drive the punch into the

pilot hole until you are approximately 1/4"

away from the shoulder of the punch. The

finished hole should be Ø9/16". (See Fig.

5-b.)

*** NOTE ***

The punched hole should be Ø9/16" in diameter.

F. Using a 3/8" NPT tap, not supplied.

REMEMBER: You can always make the

hole a little bigger if necessary, but you

can’t make it smaller—so use extreme

caution during this step.

G. Once you have determined that the hole is

the correct size using grease or anti-seize

on the tap. The grease prevents metal

chips from falling into the oil pan. When

you have finished tapping the hole, use a

clean rag and some solvent to clean the

grease and metal shavings from the hole.

Apply sealant such as silicone RTV to the

threads of the supplied drain-back fitting,

and insert it into the hole.

17JUN04 v2.0 94-95Mus(4809615 v2.0)

*** NOTE ***

More isn’t better on this step, so don’t use too

much sealant on the threads or excessive force

when tightening the fitting.

H. To install the oil pressure feed line, you

must first remove the oil sending unit,

located on the driver’s side front of the oil

pan, just above the pan rail. We recom-

mend the use of a Snap-On oil sending

unit wrench (part #56152) for this step, as

the unit is delicate and easy to break. To

ease removal further, you may also want

to remove the stud located directly above

the sending unit. (See Fig. 5-c.)

Fig. 5-c

Fig. 5-d

Fig. 5-e

I. Install the supplied TEE fitting using a

small amount of Teflon thread sealer. DO

NOT USE TEFLON TAPE.

J. After installing the TEE fitting, install the

1/4" x #4 fitting into the TEE fitting. This

fitting should face upwards. Install the

sending unit into the end of the TEE fit-

ting pointing toward the driver’s side and

reconnect the wire. (See Fig. 5-d.)

SUPERCHARGER/ACCESSORY BRACKET INSTALLATION

6.1 ACCESSORY BRACKET

*** NOTE ***

Before you install the main supercharger/accessory

bracket, you may choose to install the supercharg-

er drive pulley first (although it can be done after

the bracket is installed) to make it easier, we rec-

ommend that it is installed before the supercharger

mounting bracket is installed.
