Hi gents,

I live in Sydney Australia and Lightnings are as rare as hen's teeth down here. I work in specialty motor insurance and I know of 5 in the country and we are the big guys in this market sector!

I don't have an L but do have a new 2002 H/D blower setup (From maniflod to throttle body including injectors and coil packs) I purchased off eBay. I intend installing it on my Lexus engine which is installed in my Range Rover. Sure will be one bastard of a car when it's finished.

My problem is I have no idea what the relays and sundry hoses and plugs do on the unit.

Can anyone direct me to a Site that lists what all the bits are for so I can chuck the stuff I don't need and keep the stuff I do. We don't run EGR over here so that's a start.

I don't mind being flamed for driving a Range Rover or using the Lexus engine. A complete 5.4 L engine and supercharger would cost over US12,000 landed in Australia. Then you need to fit into the old Rover!

Any help suggestions most appreciated.

 

Crash,

Thanks for the lead.

Does Mike go under his real name or a pseudonym?

The drive ratios for the supercharger (on the stock lower Lexus pulley) means I should see around 12lb boost which by all our calculations will see me on the high side of 500FWHP.

The Rover has a fibregalss body (sort of a bathtub on top of the chassis) without a roof or doors. Total weight is 1600kg or 3520lb so should go OK. I'll take some photos of the car this weekend and post so you have something to laugh at.

Any lead on Mike would be appreciated.

Obviously L parts are not available over here so no doubt you'll be hearing. I'll need to strip the manifolds down to machine them to fit the Lexus so I'll defineitely be chasing the gaskets and stretch bolts for it.
