Why would you want to push the engine to the edge of destruction?
I'm not knocking what you've done and don't get me wrong it's good to experiment and see what you can do.
But if it's at the engines detriment then what's the point.
Just fit something with more potential and save yourself a lot of hassle.

Hi I am not well at the moment which is crap but will take some when I get chance its basically a conversion block machined to accept the huge blower the rests just pipework really and an external gate which makes a huge difference .....well it does when they supply you with the right spring rate,doh,,, will take some pics though.

Fair comment, But their are engines that'd suit you better out there.
I'm currently fitting a cummins 6bt in to my 90
Ridiculous amounts of power and torque available and good for about 800bhp on standard internals if I remember correctly.
Not that's you'd want that in a lr but means you have a very reliable engine even when tuned.

Cool would like to see that,,,I personally wanted to see how much power I could get out of the engine that was in it though.
Everyone I spoke to said it was not worth trying as everyone had failed at getting big power reliably.That just made me try harder.
I only started because the bolt on the horn had pierced the intercooler and a new one was dearer than a larger one and then it got silly and I was hooked on playing with it just to prove a point,,,,,Great fun now though nearly need wings lol

Like I say, Fair play to you for doing it.
But theirs only going to be so far you can go with that engine.
Whereas for me the lr will disintegrate before I run out of engine upgrades
Not that I really want stupid power out if it really.
But 250hp and 550ft lb of torque would be a nice start.
This is mine at the mo.
Still need a to do a few bits but waiting on funds.

Nice work my man love it,,,,shurely it will have no low down acceleration though? What size blower are you running doesnt look to different to mine.
Looks awesome costs loads though youve made an amazing job I prefer the mikalor wide clips though found normal clips made a bit of a mess of my hoses.

Engine has lots of torque so low down acceleration should be very good provided the gearing is right.
Have a look on youtube theirs a few videos on their of cummins powered lr's
Turbo is a holset h1c what came with the engine (couldn't tell you the size) But a hx35 is on the list for the future.
Yeah, I already had some clips so used them (Theirs still some missing) so I may buy some decent ones at some point.

What you can't see from Aarons pictures is how nice it really is in real life .. he's done a cracking job, and strange to say although there's not much room front and rear, at the sides there's still loads ..

Cheers
Plenty of room at the side for compound turbo's if the need ever arises then

Cheers dude, I'm sure you'll get the hang of the forum eventually.
Everyone thinks I'm bonkers for fitting my choice of engine (even though it's been done before)
So you keep up the work too and as others have said a video would be good when you get a chance

Thanks mate will do a vid as soon as Im well and got her set I will be keen to see it myself I suppose watching a vid will seam different to being in it.:high5:
Come on anyone worth their salt knows theres no substitute for cubic inches, and as a wannabe tuner you should defo know.
People were slagging you off because you came across as a cock, hence my reply about the attitude change.
