Thread: supercharger on a classic

Don't. Not worth the effort, time, money, frustration or results.
4.6 rover v8 is easy relatively cheap these days.
I have seen them advertised for $800 quite often

Agree,....don't do it.
Reason?....the basic engine ain't good enough.
By all means, seek more power, but the way you suggest ain't gonna cut it.
Pickles.

I shudder to think where you'd find a super charger setup these days, I imagine they were always rare or extremely expensive. I've actually worked on a super charged 3.5 RRC and I've also fitted a 4.6 high comp motor to another one. Out of the two the 4.6 wins hands down as it isn't encumbered with this extra lump of machinery in an already crowded engine bay. The 3.5 ran an aftermarket Haltech ECU and timing system, the 4.6 ran (still runs) quite adequately on the stock ECU.

Thanks again gentlemen, your advice is much appreciated and confirms what I thought, alot of expense with questionable return. I will keep working on the options, but then again it might be as simple as reduce the weight in the trailer! Cheers.

Seen this on the weekend.


The E-Charger Hybrid System - fullBOOST


Now if I can find somewhere to fit a big Lithium Ion battery in the Rangie one of these would be sweet!!

Easy, just put them where the left and right sill tanks would go....

Drool

Put an LS in it!




Someone had to say it...
