Manifolds, brackets, pulleys and drive belts, new carburettor(s) and big power-bulge in the bonnet.

Say !!

Why not just do the power-bulge on the bonnet and forget the super-charger?

Plus a low compression engine and suspension mods and big brakes and wheels to keep it on the road and then stop.
Just compare the RR with the supercharged RR and you wiil get the idear.

You don't need a low comp engine unless your running big boost.

Backing off the timing and ensuring a decent amount of fuel will help.otherwise massive detonation will make a big mess very quickly....

CharlesY, No comments!

Thank you for your replies.
My idea is put the supercharger, jaguar xk8 nozzles and remaped ECU. my idea is 250HP +-. i´m rebuiding my another 3.9i v8 engine, and i´m serious thinking put the supercharger,but i have some afraid because the engine healthy. This is a range rover for offroad only! Highway i do not exceed 75miles per hour,

In which case you will need to fit AT LEAST a 23 litre V-12 Rolls Royce Merlin engine. It has been done.
See the pic and yes, we all know it's a Series ...

Most amusing.

I meant, as I'm sure you know, that its perfectly safe to charge a standard compression engine if your sensible about it.

I've done it myself, granted not on a RR engine, but if you keep the boost low, and the fuelling correct you can get a healthy increase with no ill effects to the engine.
