The V8 Owners Forum -

there are some pics in garage scene, http://www.v8forum.co.uk/forum/viewtopi ... c&start=60 . not to many of the engine though ,a pic of my car is on page 5 , Will you be at the pod this year dbv8?? rich

Looks good and cant wait to see it go. But ive already got 4 solenoids on the rover and the thought of another lot of wiring and tubing, the headache is already starting just thinking about it rich

Hi Mike, thanks for the reply. Yes the car will be street legal, the 500ish power is give or take, 4.6 rover about 250ish then 250 to 275 of gas. I was thinking of 2 different systems, 1st , sbf manifolds 1 5/8 primes to 2 1/2" outlet and making side pipes with muff driver silencers. (but not sure o...

Some more ?????. with nitrous am looking at 500ish. Have read that for that power and a single exhaust it should be 3 to 4" if dual then 2 1/2 to 3", any ideas. I cant go dual because of fuel tank, side pipes could be an option, but how important is the balance pipe ??. all advice welcome, rich

Ive taken the manifolds off and measured them up. Primarys 1 3/8" i.d , collector 1 3/4" i.d , Y-piece 2" o.d pipe to a 2 1/2" o.d single pipe which goes to the back of car. It seems a tad small,any advice welcome. rich . Also when you say for ex; 1 5/8" is that o.d or i.d. ??

Hi all, is there away of testing a jacobs progressive controller to see if it works ok ??? rich

Well Tony it looks like we both need to change the manifolds. Im looking for atleast 450 bhp with nos min to achieve the time im after. . And as of yet i havent found any bigger manifolds. Cheers Mike rich

Ive read 1.5" are ok for std heads,but if modified then min should be 1 5/8". But not sure if mine are 1.5" i.d or o.d , . rich

Hi all, ive got a rimmers stainless sport exhaust system on the sd1,engine will soon be a 4.6 with nitrous. Manifold 4 into 1 with 1 1/2" primary pipes to a 2" outlet, at Y-piece end is 2 1/2" ,free flow ,tailpipe is 3". Would i be loosing some power with small primarys and 2" outlet ??. All advice ...

I have the same problem with the poxy wipers.This thread is a result as i was going to ask it. On another forum someone said about fitting a relay into it as the volts are pretty low for the motor. rich

I think i can get it better than 11.98,and it gives me something to aim for . The sd1 has a in-tank pump for the carb and ive got a edelbrock for the nos side,but outlets are not 3/8" which i think i would need for a 250 to 275 of gas. rich

Thanks ,i will pass it on rich

Will i need a 2nd fuel tank just for the nitrous side of things ??. rich

Hi all, just asking as someone has asked on another forum. Is there away of telling if it is a true rover craft engine??. It has rovercraft on the rocker covers, but are there any numbers stamped on the block for i,d .all advice welcome. rich

So when are you buying it, it does look awsome rich
