Thread: Supercharging a Rover V8

Yeah Matt, where is this so called blown blue hiline, your so full of it

The ones i've seen with this blower used standard manifold, machined down about 10mm. Adaptor plate, with blower on top. An elbow/inlet goes to the back of the blower. Standard injection with a variable fuel pressure reg that increases fuel pressure with boost. Works well on a 3.9 but a bit small for the 4.6. I'm pretty sure its the blower used on the 3.8v6 commodores a few years back.

Look at the picture....
Rusted pulleys on the V8, Blower sitting on a pile of rags and bolts hanging out of it.
No manifold for intake or between blower and engine is visible.
Its just sitting there.....

You quote that its been in the white ute and also its not in the Blue beast, you quote that Thommo towed you at one stage, but when i asked him, he said he was not aware of it being blown.

I've asked you in this tread multiple questions with No answers.

Simple ones...... like the Belt size, pulley size and what injection system your running, bonnet clearance, manifold, how does the vac advance run on boost, how does the vacuum brakes work on boost??

To shut us all up, answer the simple questions and we want pix....

This is not the 1st time you have been asked for pix and specs.

A few years back on 4wdmonthly forum you said you had a Twin Turbo V8 Rangie, lots of questions were asked, but no answers or Pix.

I'm not having a go at you, i'm asking a question as i want to know how you did it all... or was it built before you got it and you dont know???

You think it should look like this


This is a M90 on a 3.9. Sadly the kit is no longer made. The M90 is cheap and easy to get.
Cheers RR
