3.1

NOVI 1000

The Paxton Automotive Novi 1000 super-
charger relies on pressurized engine oil for
its lubrication. The oil must then be returned
to the oil pan, via a drain back fitting that
must be installed into the pan. This involves
making a hole in the driver’s side of the oil
pan. To do this, first drain 1 quart of oil
from the pan, then scribe an X into the oil
pan 1-1/2” forward of the rib and 3/4-inch
below the pan rail. After the X is scribed,
drill a 3/16-inch pilot hole into the center of
the X. See Fig 8 for the general placement
of the Oil Drain fitting.

Enlarge the pilot hole with the 37/64-inch
drill.

Apply a liberal amount of grease to the
threads of a 3/8-inch X16 NPT tap, and
slowly insert into the hole. The grease will
make tapping the hole easier, and will also
keep metal chips from falling into the pan.
Tap the hole until the fitting tightens 3/4 of
the way into the hole.

*****NOTE*****:

This fitting has tapered threads and is intended

not to seal flush against the drain pan.

Clean the finished threads with a clean rag.
Apply a sparing amount of sealer such as
silicon RTV to the threads of the supplied
drain back fitting, and install.

*****NOTE*****:

Do not over-tighten.The finished Oil Drain is in

Fig. 3-1. Please note that the hose is shown in

this picture, but it is not to be connected at this

time.
