Anyone seen a Supercharged D2?

[walker]

I was getting real keen to put a blower on the D2 V8 to get some better power out of it for towing, but after a trip to the experts today they recon it would be too hard as there is not enough room to fit anything.:(

I would love to hear if anyone has done it.

I'm sure I've seen it mentioned in a 4WD mag a few years back. Either a D1 or a D2 can't remember. Isn't there a crowd in WA that specialize in superchargers?

[walker]

Yep, they only do them for the D1 and only 3.5 and 3.9 motors.

Deacon have done them on 4.0 and 4.6 Rangie motors mut never on a D2.

Ahh! That will have been them for sure. I'd look to the states, but you're probably going to need a bonnet mod to squeeze it in (and some flames painted on the front guards:D ).

I'm sure you could squeeze in a sprintex, capa or powerdyne blower in there, the roots type like Eatons would be hard as they generally need to be top mounted.

Had an Eatons blower on a 3.9 in a 93 RR. Is there that much less room in a D2??

Yes...a lot less.

Deacon Automotive have specialised in blowing Landrovers and have done almost every type of Landrover except the D2. They had a look today ad do not believe that you will fit anything under the bonnet unless you put a scoop on. There is not even room for a side centrifugal unit.
They said they could build a custom job and modify the bonnet but you would be looking at more than $15k
