INTRODUCTION
C ongratulations! You have purchased the finest
street Supercharger available. The centerpiece of
this kit is the highly efficient and reliable Paxton
Automotive Corp. NOVI-1200 supercharger. A mechan-
ically driven (by belt) centrifugal blower
(supercharger).
This kit comes with all of the parts you’ll need for a
successful installation. The operations required have
been grouped in order of sequence. Photos and draw-
ings accompany the text, allowing quick orientation and
parts identification.
Installation requires a selection of tools which are listed
in a table at the end of this section.
We also suggest that you obtain a shop manual and
become familiar with the details of your cars systems.
For best results follow the instructions closely and in
sequence. The average installation time for this kit is
six hours. Your actual installation time will depend on
skill level and working conditions. The estimate does
not include time for initial vehicle inspection, cleaning,
fine tuning or troubleshooting. Before even picking up a
wrench, read this entire manual. We are available for
technical assistance at (805) 604-1336, 7am-3:30pm
pacific time.
After reading the manual, verify that all major assembly
groups are present in the main kit box. You should have
ample space to layout the components. As you remove a
box or bag from the main kit, note the identification
label and compare it with the parts list. Please check the
box for small parts.
Paxton makes every effort to insure that all parts are
included in the box. However, if you discover any miss-
ing or mislabeled parts, please contact Paxton by phone
for service.
*** WARNING ***
DO NOT attempt installation if any part(s) are miss-
ing from this kit. Failure to contact Paxton prior to
beginning installation will result in a charge for any
missing parts.
Before starting the installation, we suggest your engine
compartment be clean. You can clean the engine and
compartment with a pressure washer (such as those
used at self serve car washes) and a safe-for-aluminum
cleaner/degreaser. Cover the distributor with a plastic
bag to prevent water from entering.
*** CAUTION ***
We do not recommend proceeding with the kit instal-
lation unless your vehicle is within normal operating
parameters.
You are undoubtedly enthusiastic about getting started
on your project, but take just a little more time to insure
that your safety is not jeopardized. A moment’s lack of
attention can result in an accident, as can failure to
observe certain simple safety precautions. The possibili-
ty of an accident will always exist, and the following
points should not be considered a comprehensive list of
all dangers. Rather, they are intended to make you
aware of the risk and to encourage a safety conscious
approach to all work you do on your vehicle.
We look forward to hearing from you, particularly if
you have any comments or suggestions regarding this
