I always wondered what that would be like - they're 4.2l engines though btw - basically the jag engines straight-up instead of the bored-out base model V8's.

You'd have to fool a lot of computer modules into thinking it was a RRS or FFRR SC, but I think it could be done.

Isn't there a different variant of the ZF6HP, not the 26? What about the rest of the drivetrain?

The supercharger also requires a secondary cooling loop and (I think) has some major differences to things like the expansion tank and radiator - doesn't it have a secondary coolant pump too?

Other than that I think the footprint is very similar - it's mostly vertical clearance. LR did a good job keeping components cross-compatible to make assembly and parts stock easier, so it might be possible.

 

Interesting. I know one of the chassis development guys for a California based electric car company. He also happens to have a pretty nice D90 (among many other toys). I wonder if he had anything to do with this?

 

Are you sure? I have a Land Rover retrospective book that was given out at a large sales event that shows the SC sport was a 4.4. But the book could be wrong.

The L405 Trans is an 8 speed.

 

I'm not sure if I should divulge which company but I can say it's not Tesla, but they have hired a bunch of ex Tesla employees.

 

It must be, the SC was definitely a 4.2 L derived from the AJ-V8.

"Land Rover also offered a supercharged version of the 4.2 L as that company's high-performance engine. Land Rover's version is not the same as the Jaguar's version but it was adapted from it.[5] Applications:

• 2006-2009 Land Rover Range Rover Sport 385 hp (287 kW) and 406 lb·ft (550 N·m)
• 2006-2009 Land Rover Range Rover 400 hp (298 kW) and 413 lb·ft (560 N·m)"

 

^ good to know.

 

I have not tried the innovative performance chip but I just got a performance chip from a company called powertune. I was not expecting much when I bought it and it's just ok, no crazy increase in HP but it does give it more pep. If you want a little more kick then I'd recommend it but don't expect to gain a ton of hp. The company also put together reviews on their site from customers. Some just talking about it and some doing 0-60 tests with and without it.

 

Wow what a marketing ploy you get a A+ for this one. How many chips that are for Land Rover can I buy????


Seriously move on, or prove me wrong post a pic of you with the power tune chip in your hand and your rover behind you. A sign with today's date would be good to

I would try the SC swap from a Sport on my LR3 I think it would work.

 

 

Hello. Knowing this is an older post would TM you still have your 5.0L available? Love to try and put it in my 2008 LR3.,
