Re: Supercharging?!?

[James Jewell <m1garand@speakeasy.net>]

James,
   Do you mean for the Rover V8 or the BL 4?  There were a few 
companies that made supercharger setups for the Land/Range Rovers, and I 
looked at them over a year ago, and my memory tells me that the 
hood/bonnet would have to be massively reworked (not just like adding a 
bump or a scoop) to fit the entire apparatus under it.  Also, the 
pulleys for the serpentine drive would prohibit a puller fan on the 
radiator.
   Unfortunately, most of the companies that did the mod had hip-hop 
stars/wannabees as their customers, and the photos of pink, pimped-out 
rovers with video screens on the back (forcing the poor SOB behind you 
in traffic to watch your crappy videos) turned me off.  I just couldn't 
bring myself to look at the photos on the web pages...........
   I think Nitrous, for short bursts of power, as needed, is the best 
way to solve our problems without adding to the thermal mess.
