I think we have wandered off topic a bit here. Back to Supercharging!!!!
I just got hold of a 4.6 with a mixed set up that does not work well.
Came with a donor rangie that some one has given up on. I wonder Why??
4.6 with 3.5 heads and 86 Efi :confused: I wonder why it won't run right!:D
I thought as Being a low Compresion would make a great donk for my 89. With eaton :cool:. I'm not after high end power. Just grin factor. Torque!
Have been searching for best fuel management system and Wolf 4 seems to be solution. Any other ideas? By the way I am serious. As is Rovercare. Some of you guys are in for a big suprise!;)
Cheers RR
Looks like one of the Jags out of the Aussie movie "The Big Steal". :pQuote:

Last time I was in there he had a twin turbo'd 3.9 on the engine stand that he had in his Bro's Disco at Wandin a couple of years ago which he is planning on puting in a boat.
He builds everything himself, manifolds etc so he knows what is involved from start to finish.

Matt and I would have called in if we had of known that, we were across the road, and it looked like it was a ritters type of place from out the front.Quote:

While I don't know if they are capable of turning 500hp, I understand the Sprintex chargers operate differently to the Eatons and other roots type blowers. While I can't remember what the difference is I believe that they are more efficient.
I'd dare say that a lot of ground could be made in getting the engine able to rev a bit more. It's still only a 2 valver so head work is a must to get the best flow possible. Upgraded ignition system, perhaps MSD? and a computer like a WOLF (3D should be fine and cheaper than 4) will allow for fuel and ignition mapping and running multiple maps. Also available with its own sensors.
Comp would be fine unless you go stupid but I have no idea what the ratings are on the rest of the engine internals. May turn out to be far too expensive to achieve.
Yep, all the horror stories, belong with the early ones...........bit like when you ask someone about lard rovers in general hey:DQuote:

Basically yuppie types of cars, no rovers with 35's etc...out front. It looked like it belonged in toorak, prestige place. but i did only have a quick glimps at the carpark.
Well yeah your right there, if I want to see 35" tyres 4wd stuff I go and see Jamie's carpark as thats where his Disco is, Mal does do the odd properly used LR but mainly the boat dragging type but he does the performance stuff which is also pretty interesting but not my scene but still pretty awsome.Quote:
