  1. All, I recently put a 3.9 engine from a Range Rover in my defender. I'd like to install a sports exhaust...as the 3.9 engine is no standard one for the defender, how can I best combine to get a complete exhaust ? I was planning only to buy both manifolds and the Y-piece and then complete the system with ???? Thanks

    Edelbrock

    Niall, I currently ahve an Edelbrock manifold. According to RPi's site, and I quote : "Rover intakes have always and necessarily had this type of coolant bypass allowing for a slight volume of coolant to continuously circulate even when the thermostat is shut. without this required feature, incomplete Weber installations kits will lead to problems with coolant circulation and higher engine running temperatures," There's still one other solution, I guess : there's an other type of hose that can be used ( instead of opening the extra outlet on the back of my water pump); this hose has 4 outlets ; 1. connection to the water pump 2. connection to the radiator 3. connection to expansion tank (return ) 4. connection to heather ( as return) This way I can use the one outlet of the waterpump to connect to my intake manifold , from the back of the manifold a hose will feed the heater, the return will then be connected to the big return from radiator to water pump....Will this do also ?

    Edelbrock

    Geoff, Thank you for your answer, maybe I have to rephrase my question... Current situation of my plumbing ; - Top hose(feed) from radiator is connected to thermostat housing (or elbow). - Bottom hose (return) from radiator is connected to the water pump - still left ; * 1 outlet on back of my water pump * 1 inlet on the front of my inlet manifold * 1 outlet on the back of my inlet manifold * heater matrix (in- and outlet) How should I connect ?? my best guess : from back of water pump -> inlet manifold -> manifold -> outlet manifold -> inlet heater -> heater -> outlet heater -> 2nd outlet water pump. If I'm correct I need to create an extra hole in the water pump ....other possibility ? thanks again
  4. Dear all, I just took out the injection system of my 3.9 engine and installed an edelbrock carbu. According to these guys I had to install an other thermostat housing to ensure that my inlet manifold could get some cooling.... http://www.v8engines.com/old-pages/Test/fa...tting-questions Now, my main question is, where do I connect this extra inlet to ? According to the site I have to connect this to the rear of my water pomp, but there's no free outlet .... is there a difference between this water pump housing and the one of a carburettor engine ? At this moment the rear section of the inlet manifold is connected to the heater matrix and the return of the heater matrix goes to the waterpump.... Did I do something wrong , how should these connect ? Grateful for your comments.... REgards, Rob Fixed clicky. Geoff
  5. What could have caused this ? A friend of mine was driving his 1993 Range Rover Tdi on the highway and lost his front propellor shaft ( between gearbox and front diff )....both UJ's were torn apart and shaft has gone missing.... Did the front diff blocked, is the visco gone ? I still have a prop shaft from a Range VM ( make 1988 ), will this one fit ? Would appreciate your help. regards.
