Title: Re: twin turbo v8 Post by: toad on January 22, 2007, 11:03:56 PM do a google search on janspeed they used to do twin turbo kits for the rover v8 i had one many years ago and the manifolds were only box section something you could make yourself!

Title: Re: twin turbo v8 Post by: toad on January 22, 2007, 11:34:45 PM its not a complex as it looks i bought my set up already fitted to a motor put it in my car and found it completly undrivable on the road! so was sold as i wrote the car off first time out! ::) for the money it cost new and how it was made and the way it performed i would,nt buy one! would be better fitting a gmc 6.6 diesel for offroad work! ;)

Title: Re: twin turbo v8 Post by: flap on January 23, 2007, 06:34:53 PM I had a V8 Disco, best car in the world. Cant see the turbos helping much off road though, turbo lag and all that. Keep the V8 as its one of the best engines ever. How about a 4.6 out of a Rangie or a 5 litre from a TVR or a super charger or nitrous, go on have a super charged 5 litre V8 with nitrous. Or if he's got a spare 50 grand have a Bowler Wildcat. I'm all excited now just thinking about it ;D
Title: Re: twin turbo v8 Post by: lunatic on January 24, 2007, 11:54:06 AM Mmmmmm, Bowlers! Just found a piccie of the new nemesis. 4.4 naturally aspirated or a 4.2 supercharged! ;D
Title: Re: twin turbo v8 Post by: flap on January 24, 2007, 01:26:25 PM I'm getting excited again ;D
