stuck Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Following on from my "195 BHP From a TD5" thread & to prove I'm not biased about diseasels (ok I am) How about this claim: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-LR-90-Defender-Beast-4-6-engine-/221559724247?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3395fd18d7 £26k for a Q plate?!

RedLineMike Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 never mind it being on carbs, im more impressed at 350 bhp out a 46 with just a cam & a holley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Absolutely no chance of that power... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 It has so much power it's actually increasing...... it says 400BHP in another part of the advert (the grey box near the top) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CwazyWabbit Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Is that a bit of 15mm copper water pipe propping the bonnet up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuck Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Is that a bit of 15mm copper water pipe propping the bonnet up? Hadn't noticed that What else would you expect on a £26,000 car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Is that a bit of 15mm copper water pipe propping the bonnet up? Yup, there's even a clip for it in the bonnet for when it is shut. Also, with 400BHP, a 3" lift kit with 2" 'leveler blocks' is exactly what you should do with a LR. Love to know how much this one drinks with that carb on it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Hadn't noticed that What else would you expect on a £26,000 car? Well at that price it's bound to be a bit of an unfinished project eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Yup, there's even a clip for it in the bonnet for when it is shut. .... I'd missed that, so the pipe is actually a part of the car! I wonder what other parts from the house he has used in the build? Perhaps a nice dado rail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOA 93 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I hope the sound of a 350hp V8 drowns out the sound of the drive belt squealing, not enough wrap around that pulley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderzander Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 £25k for a Q plated unfinished truck, where they haven't even cleaned inside, and the dashboard motif doesn't exactly point to one previous caring owner.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 To get a genuine 400hp out an RV8 you would have to spend the asking price of the whole vehicle and contact wildcat engineering lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Yup. my own 5.2 with all the trick bits from iceberg block short omega pistons aluminium con rods massive porting and a custom cast huge flowing jed triple plenum plus upgraded injectors etc etc was 342bhp dyno when new... that in 2006 set the 1st owner back £14600 so the 350bhp is nonsense probably 200ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Love to ask dealer for dyno printout. ... just to show he isn't fibbing lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynic-al Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 A friend of mine has a kit car with a 70s rv8 on cars that a Ben dynod at 330bhp so I think its quite realistic. .. Although his did have some tweaks ... I'm sure it was mainly down to a stainless exhaust and induction kit though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quagmire Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 From all I have read on v8forum if you get to a real 300bhp on a 4,6 rv8 you are doing very well indeed! One guy on there has a very nice motor and his is putting out about 285bhp. Thats real bhp, and not TVR bhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Thats real bhp, and not TVR bhp. 2 VERY different things..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Yup. my own 5.2 ....... in 2006 set the 1st owner back £14600 Not to mention the not insignificant sum you invested into it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
