WARNING!
Read the following statements before proceeding with any installation.

  • All units have been 100% inspected and performance tested as-shipped. To maximize performance, this supercharger unit has extremely tight tolerances from the factory. Any modifications to these units, including disassembly, or  mounting on non-standard engines can adversely impact these clearances and result in part failure. Magnuson Products, LLC. cannot be held responsible for part failure due to improper installation.
  • The supercharger bypass must be connected at all times. Operating the unit without a bypass can result in supercharger failure.
  • Please note that engines modified in such a way that impacts intake manifold mounting (ie. decked heads and/or block) may result in supercharger failure. Engines that have been modified must ensure that the cylinder head angle  matches the stock geometry. The interface between the cylinder heads and the intake manifold must not exceed 0.004” clearance at any point prior to application of torque to any mounting bolts. Mounting bolts should NOTNOT  bind during assembly to the engine. Follow the torque specifications listed at the back of this manual for installing the supercharger to the cylinder heads. Ensure that the supercharger spins freely after you have Ensure that the  supercharger spins freely after you have torqued the intake manifold to the cylinder heads. torqued the intake manifold to the cylinder heads.
  1. If your crank pulley is not keyed you will need to pin it to prevent it from slipping.MAGNUSON SUPERCHARGERS TVS2300 Hot Rod Supercharger Kit - crank pulley

  2. You may need to modify your valley cover or purchase one from Magnuson to allow clearance for the supercharger. On the valley cover shown you need to mark a line approximately ¼” up from the main surface of the valley cover  around this tab as shown. Tape off all intake ports to ensure no grinding gets into them or any other openings of the engine. Vacuum debris completely to ensure no contamination remains. Use a die grinder or other suitable tool  (even a file will work) to grind down the tab to the line as shown in the inset photo.MAGNUSON SUPERCHARGERS TVS2300 Hot Rod Supercharger Kit - valley cover

  3. You may need to adjust the locations of your coil packs to allow enough clearance for the supercharger.MAGNUSON SUPERCHARGERS TVS2300 Hot Rod Supercharger Kit - valley cover1

  4. You will have to purchase the appropriate sized injectors for your engine and install them into the provided fuel rails. You will need to decide where to install a fuel manifold and the appropriate fuel balance crossover hose and fuel rail plugs.MAGNUSON SUPERCHARGERS TVS2300 Hot Rod Supercharger Kit - purchase

  5. Install the appropriate OEM gaskets onto the new supercharger manifold to match your engine.MAGNUSON SUPERCHARGERS TVS2300 Hot Rod Supercharger Kit - OEM gaskets

  6. The throttle body bolt pattern is 104mm X 70mm with a 90mm diameter bore which can accommodate many common LS and
    LT throttle bodies. Install two OEM studs into the supercharger inlet flange using a E5 Torx socket. The studs can be purchased with nuts and bolts in the GM Bolt/Screw Kit, Throttle Body (GM PT#89017591). Then press the  OEM throttle body gasket (GM PT#12589235) into the inlet groove as shown.MAGNUSON SUPERCHARGERS TVS2300 Hot Rod Supercharger Kit - bolt

  7. Install the throttle body using the OEM hardware and torque to 108 in-lbs. with a 10 mm socket wrench. Verify your torque wrench settings.MAGNUSON SUPERCHARGERS TVS2300 Hot Rod Supercharger Kit - throttle body

  8. The secondary locking clip on your oil pressure sensor connector may cause interference with the supercharger assembly. If you have previously removed the sensor, you should wrap the sensors threads with Te fl on tape or paste  before reinstalling. Refer to the next step for further positioning information.MAGNUSON SUPERCHARGERS TVS2300 Hot Rod Supercharger Kit - locking clip

  9. This illustration shows the top view of the oil pressure sensor installed on the engine. If the secondary locking clip is not in position #1, you will need to re-clock it (rotate). If the secondary locking clip lands in position #2, you may  increase the installation torque to rotate into position #1. You should not exceed 24 ft-lbs.MAGNUSON SUPERCHARGERS TVS2300 Hot Rod Supercharger Kit - pressure sensor

  10. If the secondary locking clip lands in position #3, you will need to remove the sensor and re-clock it using a copper washer as a shim. Before reinstalling, wrap the sensor’s threads with Teflon tape or Teflon paste. Reinstall the sensor and shim into position #1 by torquing to 15 ft-lbs. minimum to 24 ft-lbs maximum.MAGNUSON SUPERCHARGERS TVS2300 Hot Rod Supercharger Kit - clip lands

  11. You may need to remove the vent pipe shown for the supercharger installation, and reinstall the vent pipe afterwards.MAGNUSON SUPERCHARGERS TVS2300 Hot Rod Supercharger Kit - vent pipe
