Love this Matt, got loads of questions though
![]() I’m looking at supercharging options already lol I’m interested in seeing how winchesters gearbox holds up to some boost. What figures are you looking for, power wise? I’m thinking of going down JLRs route with their older blower which has the two heat exchangers on both sides of the charger. Solely for the “supercharged” casting lol Did you got stand-alone loom? EDIT: is the 5.0 supercharger based on the old M112 or is it new new? Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_black_td5/ |

Thanks, appreciate it.
No doubts in the LT230 at all. Probably the strongest part of the LR driveline. Looking for 450/500hp and anything over would just be a bonus ![]() No the 5.0 is the new twin vortices charger. The older m112 and m90 are roots style which are basically just heat pumps ![]() I also think the 5.0 is easier to adapt than the older 4.2 Yes it’s already running Link G4+ 1989 90 4.3 V8 2014 D4 HSE Lux 2015 90 HT (SOLD) @d9o.mf |

Blimey Matt I haven't looked at this thread for a few weeks but it's all going on again back here!

I've just re-read this thread from the start, absolutely brilliant work.
I've not seen a V8 conversion with a supercharger on this site yet, although I have suggested the supercharged G.M. LSA crate engine for those who may be interested. But the work here, using a somewhat unusual V8, and then mating it to a supercharger, is something I've not come across anywhere before. Will you put your Defender on the rollers after completion of the work? You have great skill, Pickles. |

Thanks all for the kind words.
What can I say, I like making things fit together that shouldn’t ![]() Yes once complete it will be back on the dyno for a re-calibration of the ecu. This is just a test fit for now, I’ve still got some other things to sort. Belt routing, intake pipes, and some other small mods…. I’ve going some other changes coming up also, so I’m wanting to do them all as a package - probably a bit of a winter project. Stay tuned ![]() 2014 D4 HSE Lux 2015 90 HT (SOLD) @d9o.mf |
