    I scored a low mileage complete Novitec Twin-Supercharger kit for my 430.

    Does *anyone* happen to have a set of installation instructions (and part list) for this kit?

    It looks relatively straightforward, but given that Novitec apparently used to send two engineers on-site from Germany to install them, there's likely to be some tips, tricks, gotchas here...and there's a lot of parts.

    Yes, I've attempted to ask Novitec for what I'm asking here -- no luck yet.

    I appreciate any help anyone may have, especially in the form of a PDF :)

    We need photos or it didn’t happen!

    Sounds like an awesome project. I reckon with the folks in here, we’ll easily figure it out by looking at it. That’s what men do anyway, right?

    I received a response from Novitec:

    “Thank you for your email. Unfortunately we do not have installation instructions for that as we only ever sold the system being installed by our technicians. So printed materials were never available.”



    Perhaps Titan Motorsports will be able to provide some guidance...

    Will see...

    That's some belt setup. Good thing the 430 has timing chains, as I wouldn't fancy trying to get all that lot removed from inside the car.

    Whats the plan with the engine mapping? Do Novitec provide the flash file for you to upload?

    Thanks. The top picture is literally the kit I bought The installed pic is very helpful - I haven’t see that one before — where did it come from?

    Thanks!

    Wow , that is the most complete kit I have seen . A couple of years ago I considered buying a Novitec 360 . At the time I wanted to remove the supercharger setup and convert it back to standard . I got some great info from a guy in the states ( cant remember his name ) he ran a shop and one of his mates was removing the supercharger kit from a car at that time . He had said that the quality of install varied a lot ( very dependent on which installer Novitec sent )and that his mate had spent hours repairing the wiring loom where it had been hacked for power to drive different parts of the kit . He had first hand knowledge of the extent of this work and this deterred me from buying the car . I think that pic came from him , I have been gathering Novitec info for a while . There just isn't much info out there . I would recommend getting those ECU's copied in case one goes down .
    Good luck with the install and please share your experience .

    I've done a belt service on a supercharged 360 - it wasn't fun. Had to shuffle the engine and 'box back to get that big plate off...

    This is being installed on a new motor, so we’ve hit a snag with the fabspeed header clearance in one bank…the adventure continues!

    Just stumbled onto this thread, really great to see photos of an ultra rare supercharged F430. Did the project ever get finished?

    You have uncanny timing! AI has everything buttoned up. We are running the engine in without the superchargers in the mix first (brand new engine)

    The all CF front with the full GT3 cooling system is done. The new KW suspension with nose lift is on, we are waiting on some parts from Micheloto to go from the CL conversion kit I have to the full challenge hubs and GT3 brake setup as we have some geometry issues to overcome with the wheels…so running it in with challenge wheels

    Hopefully Monday!
