Don't worry, you're not getting off the hook that lightly, I'll be asking where to put this n buy that.....

Hi lads, thanks for all the advice, you've effectively told me that the best way to get 450-500 reliable and relatively cheap bhp from a supercharged rv8 is to fit an ls7 chevvy..... So as I'm a very accomodating type of bloke, that's what I'm gonna do. I'll spend the summer with the 5 litre and mak...

Hi everyone, been away reading up on the frailties of the 5 litre in the griffith..... I spoke to mike johnson at boost performance and he seemed quite blase about the basic strength of the crank and suggested that if I wasn't gonna rev the nuts off it, £2k would be enought to sort the bottom end ou...

Been on the interweb and read through a few chevy conversions for Trevors, and as I suspected, it's alot more involved (and pricey, see pistonheads Chimera LS6) than just an engine swap.... I did that kinda thing nearly 20 years ago when I put a holley carbed v8 into a TR7 convertible, then shortly ...

Which leads me back very nicely to the reason I bought a V1 supercharger off the net...I don''t have/don't wanna spend loads of bags of sand, a net total of 3k max was my budget.....

Contacted Capa in Aus. n they can modify their Landrover V8 kit to fit the Vortech to my engine. Was gonna get a megasquirt and with all the help and useful advice I was getting from you boys, was gonna have a play myself.....

You're all bleedin nuts!!!! :lol: :lol: As Paul B and the rest of you seem to be suggesting a Chevy, I will have a look, but ultimately, I think there's only so far I can go with the power upgrades as I can barely put the power down as it is..... Bear in mind the car weighs 1060kgs and although I've...

hi, thanks for the advice....I do remember reading somewhere about the fragility of the 5 litre under race conditions. What appears to be the problem? and if I were to supercharge it (I promise no more than 9psi) would it all end in tears?

having recently caught the ebay bug n never having gown out of "performance enhancing" my cars, i am now the proud owner of a v1 vortech supercharger in t-trim.... this followed a lengthy conversation with gav about his eaton 112 n he was the one who directed me here..... so any ideas on a...
