The V8 Owners Forum -

I should really of checked this but...bought some Range Rover manifolds on eBay will they fir into my Land Rover 110CSW engine bay ok? I know the heads are the same so outlet ports will clearly match wasnt sure if they'd sit to far back and fouild the bulkhead. If it's all tickety boo I need some do...

kiwicar,

being a thicko and lazy would you know who might have done this for a 4.6 in a Land Rover? JE are fairly close to me would they know or is it more a matter of ancient history for a company like that?

Would this be a good fit for 110 V8?

I tried to convince myself megasquirt on lpg wasnt the best direction for me and just stay close to original and simple. If ms can run run switchable maps then it'll be a goer I didnt know how it could do this in terms of the gas running out. Start up would be easy temperature related but when the l...

Overdrive is on wishlist 2, need to engine rebuild and lpg system first, looking at a new dizzy cost and advance retard amp for the lpg it might pay me to go megajolt, didnt fancy the full on injection route just yet,

landrovernuts,

Any idea if the Td5 pipe would fit my 110 as well as it does on the 90? This sounds like a good upgrade falling short of full on tubular headers and big money. Bet it sounds nice too!

Depends what you are chassis you are putting this in. I have just done this on my v8 90 and it all fits loverly apart from the gearbox cross member. I used 3.9 down pipes without cats, which I think are much better than 3.5 down pipes, but I had to use a gearbox crossmember from a 1990 Range Rover....

Simon, is this to generate mpg economy or less expensive exhaust installation costs? The chap said they disco set up was more economic on fuel and would allow the engine to rev a little more freely. My main reason for doing it would be economy if torque and bhp increased also I'd be happy. stirlsiv...

A very long time ago a bloke from JE Eng told me about a fairly "economic" mod to my exhaust. It was to replace the cast manifolds (Land Rover v8) with ones from a Discovery and to change a couple of of the smaller intermediate pipes to the y piece. Has anyone done this on the forum or kno...

ChrisJC, looks like we building or running the same motor, I'll be running mine mostly on lpg but need it to run on petrol as well as it is able. My lpg tank will be 80 or 90 litres so not large in terms of range, my petrol tank is about 44 litres (under seat auxiliary) I would also be interested in...

Does the octane rating for the fuel have a bearing on needle selection if so what is the octnae rating of the fuel you are using in Australia?

Cheers RoverP6B, This is another step toward the end of my needle hunt! Thus retaining the simplicity and originality of my engine. Though my recently serviced 3.5 did 15mpg towing a week back so not bad. It'll go into my Land Rover 110 when built, just a shame GKN have knocked their overdrive on th...

Oh well back to Megasquirt! I'd almost weaned myself off it due to it not handling liquid injection of lpg. Sounds like my SUs would never run to well so back to MS with evapourated lpg.

My laptop has nearly arrived so it's almost opportune.

I'm busy planning my re-build project and will need to do a similar needle hunt, is there a way of narrowing things down to "likely" suspects? My project will be a 4.6 on 3.5 heads under standard Landrover v8 SUs. I found and have been looking at winSU, however, not having run the engine i...
