The V8 Owners Forum -

Ok, I'll swap them - would've done it earlier but dozed off:D

Thanks

Chaps, Had the V8 in the car, then decided to put a 3.9 (but retained the SD1 starter/flywheel). Unfortunately I thiought I'd done a diagram of where the wires went. Guess what:D Anyway, there are the two main wires on the motor itself (call them left and right), and two smaller connections (call th...

Not an Seight, but similar - Ron Champion "Build Your Own Sports Car etc etc etc :



Can't get the offside turbo high enough for decent oil drain so am going for cubes:

Chaps, Notwithstanding the wiring diagram sticky at top of page, I've just acquired a 3.9 with all ancilliary bits, including a complete (whole car inc engine bay) 1994 Range Rover loom and ecu (13cux?). I appreciate I don't need any of the non engine bays bits, but how would you go about using the ...

Chaps, Took my twin turbo'd Rover V8 powered toy to Emerald for mapping and Dave was convinced that there may be an air leak or two (as well as one or two other issues). Now, my inlet is a reworked Rover plenum - basically all injection manifold components have been shortened and chamber converted t...

Peeps, As usual, these things take longer (so far 98 weeks longer!!!), but some progress has been made. I did a vid on my phone which is rubbish, but have a look here, to see it running:) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=GqCnMahHGbk Have a look at the orig vid to see it with bonnet off! Going to Emeral...

Chaps, Turbos are from an Audi S4 - KKK03's. I heard from another S4 owner who'd upgraded to "04s" that they're good for about 330bhp. If I get 300, I'll be delighted, but happy with around 275. Intercoolers are homemade from Ren 5 GT T, with all plastic removed and ally welded on. Exhaust...

Chaps, Just thought I'd show my car as there may be one or two interested. It's called Deimos (named after the Martian moon of the same name - meanind Panic!!) and was built from scratch using the plans and drawings in Ron Champions Build Your Own Sports Car etc. It was started on 6th July 2002 and ...

Cheers Ian.

I've heard of the additional oil feed to the dizzy as a mod, but do you think it's essential?

Will take it apart this afternoon:)

Thanks again

Simon

Hi folks, Been a bit slow, but just re registered having been on the old forum. I'm in the process of twin turbocharging my Rover V8 and am in the process of starting to ditch the distributor based system in favour of coil packs and trigger wheel. This obviously means the dizzy can go, but I need th...
