Dom Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 Rover SD1, thought it was a merlin spitfire engine?
Guest MK1gaz Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 That's one of the "practical performance car " magazines motors , no wonder they thought the oldskoolford scene was naff , NO BLOODY TASTE IN MOTORS !!!!!!!!!
Mr Sam Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Posted July 10, 2007 Rover SD1, thought it was a merlin spitfire engine? this is the same block, just minus the supercharger, he has however junked the carbs and made his own injection system
bmxdave Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 Rover SD1, thought it was a merlin spitfire engine? this is the same block, just minus the supercharger, he has however junked the carbs and made his own injection system why? carbs = cool supercharger = supercool changing a 27 litre v12 to efi for economy = admitting your gay. only way i can see would be if the carbs would overfuel without the charger but surely that could be sorted, and why the feck does it not have a charger anymore?
Mr Sam Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Posted July 10, 2007 its actually out a tank, they didnt have the charger speedo goes upto 160 and ive been told it is a 200mph car looks quite small doesnt it the rest is inside
surfingturnip Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 I want to shoehorn that engine into somethin pointless and random, like an allegro
Pipster007 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 I want to shoehorn that engine into somethin pointless and random, like an allegro The square steering wheel would get in the way

luz008 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 i've got a video of him firing this up in the garage - it was mental - blowing this off shelfs and firing huge flames out the head. i'd love to hear/see this running. bet its nice and toasty in the cabin. and i dont think he would have chose injection to save fuel - i would be because he could then map/setup the engine alot easier and try to make it as drivable as a tank engine can be
bmxdave Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 its actually out a tank, they didnt have the charger Ill let him off then
