Has anyone done it yet. I have the basic knowledge to supercharger a vechicle and the range rover has loads of space under the bonnet. The pulley's are in the correct position to run a central fugal chager with the correct bracket. It's a big project. But now my range rover is just my toy, why not. Any surggestions?

I say go for it. In a years time or more I'm planning on doing a v8 twin-turbo conversion, I'll be really interested to see how this turns out if you do it!

try real steel.
Oh yer turbo's are the one, But I no that there can be cooling issues. I have known of turbo conversions to end up in the skip. I dont know if the v8 will take it. A super charger is so easy. I just want to know if its been done before.
I'm gonna google it now and try to find out.

That looks like an Eaton supercharger. I bet they charge a fortune to fit that.
I was thinking of a Vortec central fugal super charger.

if you look around some kit car sites i'm sure you will find your answers as a few of them use the v8 rover engine!!!

What would worry me about turbocharging the RV8 is the huge increase in heat. Granted, you would get an increase with a supercharger, but not as much as a turbocharger I think?
Oh yer I agree. I know people have had cooling problems before turbo chargeing engines.
