Anybody know of a few ways to gain some additional horsepower?? Aside from MAJOR engine overhauling, are there any adaptions, chips, QUIET exhausts or intake modifications that can be done to bring it up to maybe an even 200hp??

Joe, post this up in the main thread section, not as a subthread for more of a response.
There isn't much you can do to tune the rover. People have tried the normal stuff like Magnecore wires, K&N air filter, headers, borla exhaust. All of which hasn't done much.
There are superchargers available, or you can upgrade to the 4.6 motor. But you are talking big $$$.

Joe,
Chris Crane is a great Rover V8 engine resource for both his knowledge and parts. His site his www.RPIV8.com
Don't always go by the prices he has listed, call or email him he is a really great person to deal with and I have picked his brains for years on rover engine related questions.
As for my personal experience upgrades.
This can get $$ , I did this to my 88 RR I added a Piper Cam / Cloyes gear Set / Had the Heads rebuilt with oversize valves.
A fresh set of new or reman. injectors / A 8MM plug wire set and not sure if your a gems or non, but for the non. RPI has a rising rate upgraded fuel pressure regulator / Also I highly recommend the Optimax chip upgrade. while were shopping a set of fresh cats and exhaust will always help.
I never got to Dyno mine but RPI has all that data on record and many out there in the LR community have done the same upgrades.
I hope this helps you in your quest |
