Outer Limits 4x4 Board

im seriously looking into making more horsies outa my disco..3.9L
the boys are turbo'in there petrol gq patrols and i dont wanna be left behind..
i guess i want to know what turbos & cooler SHOULD i be using..
seen a few ideas floating around..Does anyone have any know how??!!
i realise its a TONNE of work to make it happen..i fully get that..
but its either turbo or supercharged..i wanna know all the PROPER way to go about it..
just trying to weigh up the options..

oh and dont just say "put a chev in it" cos ive looked at that too
i want fun

Sprover on here and AULRO has a hairdryer on a 3.5 SD1, as they are mostly low compression the 3.5/3.9 are ideal candidates for turbos.

put a chev in it

You can not put much pressure on a Rover V8.
A single turbo makes more boost then the V8 can handle.
Twin would only makes sence in line. A small turbo for low rev and a bigger one for mid and high rev.
You dont get real fun out of it - only a lot of work.
But you will be still the best friend of the petrol station owner - they love Rover V8 engines.

put a chev in it

Stika also twin turbo'd his 3.5 Rover V8 powered Toyota Landcruiser comp car.

Wow - that Rover V8 from Stika sounds very nice.

Do you know is it a inline setup or just twin turbo?


Thanks

Ive been looking for that build up thread, thinking of doing something similar to the 4.4 i had in the county prior to the ls1

G'day mate,
What part of Melbourne are you from? I could take you for a spin in my Single turbo V8 Rover SD1 so you can see for yourself what it goes like. Let me know.
Cheers
Chris
