A. Your Paxton Automotive NOVI supercharger

uses pressurized engine oil for lubrication.
Use an oil sending unit socket (Snap-On
tools; part number 6152 or equivalent) to
remove the oil sending unit on the underside
of the oil filter housing. (See Fig. 3.0-a.)

B. Install the supplied 1/4"NPT x 1/4"NPT

STRT-T fitting. DO NOT USE TEFLON
TAPE or paste. The sealant may become dis-
lodged and clog the supercharger oil feed ori-
fice and cause damage to the supercharger.

C. Once installed, the junction fitting should be

oriented so that the opening faces toward the
front of the car. (See Fig. 3.0-b.)

D. Install the oil sending unit onto the end of the

brass junction. Install the 1/4" x -4 x 90° fit-
ting into the side of the brass junction, and
orient this fitting to face towards the driver’s
side frame rail. Attach the supplied length of
braided stainless steel feed line, and route
upwards to the 90° fitting on the supercharger.

*** NOTE ***

Be sure to stay clear of any moving parts or coolant

hoses (engine vibration can cause the stainless line

to chafe the rubber coolant hose, creating a leak over

time).

E. Install the line, and tighten moderately - no

sealant is required. (See Fig. 3.0-b.)

A. Mark the front of the oil pan 1-1/8" below the

pan rail and between the the two pan rail bolts,
directly in the center of the small “hump”.
(See Appendix “G”.) Drill a pilot hole with a
3/16" drill bit. (See Fig. 3.1-a.)

Fig 3.1-a

B. Smear the drill bit with heavy grease first to

prevent small metal particles from falling into
the pan.

C. Once the hole has been drilled, insert a

straight length of welding rod or heavy wire
(such as a coat hanger) into the hole approxi-
mately three inches to make sure no interfer-
ence is encountered. If the path is blocked,
turn the engine over until the pathway is clear.
