Thread: Supercharger identification

Looks like a sprintex to me. Someone in perth use to install them
on range rovers

Jeff

This is all I could find

http://www.expeditionautoworks.com/blower.asp

considering the age of the design of the Landrover V8 and it's many applications over the years the blower could be off anything from a Rover to a TVR

good luck, when you install it remember to get an industrial switch connected on the gearstick (like on mad max)

Correct me if I am wrong, but rover NEVER made a factory supercharged v8?

JE Engineering in the UK and Sprintex are the two biggest aftermarket rover suparcharging suppliers AFAIK.

Range Rover sports has a blown V8, but that isn't off one of them.

Its either an Eaton as fitted to Buick/ Holden V6's and others or a small Mercedes blower, my pick is Eaton.

yep im betting eaton also, if its a commy one it should be an M90.

cheers phil

also im a bit worried about how small the nose pulley is. this means it is quite under driven from the std v6 one(if its an m90)

the problem with this is the coating on the screws can get hot and fall off, loosing the compressors performance.
why was it sand blasted?? was it because the paint/coating had blistered from the heat??

you need to find out alot more about its history to be safe.

Forgot about the eaton - probably right. I remember reading somewhere that you need to be careful with the setup on those, that the slow is distributed evenly to both banks.
