Thread: 4.6 with Wolf Conversion :twisted:

Great looking Disco.I will be watching this with alot of interest.Wouldnt mind doing a 4.6 conversion if i could.The extra power and torque is the way to go Cant wait to see it all finished.

*cough* engines almost completed....*cough cough* wirings just about done too.....



wheres the Pics Jezza?

(oh and we are DEFINATLY doing my headlight adjustment tommorow night.....)

What is the advantage of going with a Wolf computer? Is it better tuneability?

Also, what gearbox are you mating to the engine? Stock ZF auto gearbox, or will it be strengthened?

Sounds like an awesome project.

Gezz Jezz all out! Looking good...

Hi MAte,
Yes the main reason for wolt id tunability, dash control to know whats going on and getting rid of the fairly basic and problematic land rove ECU, Air flow etc etc

Im using the original ZF box 4.6 just bolts in place nothing else Changed to the drive line !

cheers

P.S ..... Posting an update and pics now !

ok, Engine is complete and back (awsome work from Luke and Taff.............Thanks Guys !) its all bolted back up and all compeentry fitted up.
*We have mounted the wolf computer in the New dash pod along with the hand control mounted to the face of the pod with the air suspenson gauges and sub tank fuel gauge.
*Made new bypass pipe for the spot where the MAF went before.
*Mounted the coil packs and heat transfer for shower on firewall.
*Mounted the igniters next to the start battery.
* Adapted and fitted a trigger wheel to the crank.
*Made a braket to mount the crank sensor
*We are now Re-wireing a complete new loom for everything including the New Bosch Injectors, Ignitors, Coil packs, crank sensor and all the other Wolf ECU Components.

Getting close now.

Water pump pully still needs a spacer to space out 20mm inline with other pully's !, Due to using 4.6 timing cover.

Here's a few pic's.

Looking awesome.

Fantastic pics but the color balance on your camera is awful !

Just wondering where you sourced the back shell connectors for the injectors on the new loom?
