Hello everyone i own a 97 land rover discovery and i was just wondering what is the difference between the V8i and the normal v8 that i saw on the steets. My friend told me the difference is a supercharger but im not sure if it is correct. The rover that i own is a 3.9L V8i and makes a weird spinning noise when i accelerate. Is there a supercharger inside?
V8i vs V8

3.5 3.9 4.0 4.2 5.0 all variants of the same buick based engine from the early 70's. Rover/TVR variants were as above CC's probably more aswell

Is it on LPG? The LPG system can make some strange noises under heavy acceleration.
