ROGUE TROOPER

Funniest thing on TV. I was wondering if the Hicks bit was staged!

Thanks, what I realy want to know is is the 6 cylinder stonger that the 4 cylinder?

Is this any different to the 4 cylinder one? If so whats different? Ta

Professor Les Henson is doing the 300tdi convertion to Cat flap so he may be able to give pointers

As a matter if interest, the 3.9L at full shout (about 5500rpm) sucks in 288cfm and for the 3.5L its 259cfm, so its pointless for a V8 unless you fit 2. I did some research into this but decided the cost was too high for very little gain.

I have the plans If someone wants then :0 JET STREAM ELECTRIC SUPERCHARGER INSTALLATION Please be sure to thoroughly read these instructions before attempting the installation. These instructions will teach you how to build a Jet Stream Electric Supercharger that will fit any 3" or 4" intake, whether it is aftermarket or bone stock with little or no modification. There are two versions of the Jet Stream Electric Superchargers. We highly recommend building the 24,000-rpm version of the supercharger to maximize your horsepower gains. We recommend this because as far as costs go the two versions will basically cost almost the same to produce. The first version runs off less power from your vehicle battery but will not produce even close to the horsepower gains of the more powerful unit. This may be used if you are only looking to increase your gas mileage or produce small gains on a smaller sized engine. Basically if your engine is 2 liters or lower then this could be a realistic option for you. Anyone who is looking for a large gain in power or has an engine large than 2 liters in size it is recommended you only use the more powerful supercharger. V1 Parts list (Small Supercharger – 8,000rpm, Roughly 250cfm airflow) 1-Attwood 3" or 4" Turbo IN-LINE Blower (exact size will depend on the size of your intake tubing, be sure to measure just to be sure). 1- 3" or 4" piece of soft pipe, you may or may not need this depending on your intake. A 90 degree or 45 degree plumbing elbow may also be needed. 1- SPST Momentary Pushbutton Switch. 1- Roll of electrical tape. 1- Metal Bracket. 1- 25ft Roll of 12-Gauge wire. 1- 3 ½ inch Dryer Ducting Pipe (aluminum) with several hose clamps. Please note we highly recommend using a K&N or similar cone air filter in conjunction with the system to assure the highest possible air intake. Also if used with a stock intake you may have to modify either the intake system or modify the in-line blower, this is an option, but not recommended. Example of Finished Electric Superchargers Inline Electric Supercharger Jet Stream Electric Supercharger As you can see above the Inline version is simply inserted into your factory intake tube while the Jet Stream Version acts more as an Aftermarket Cold Air Intake. The Jet Streams “ram-air” type setup ensures that you are bringing in the coldest air possible (which will also result in a great increase in performance). Once you get the fan-installed reconnect the air filter. Next connect a piece of the 12 gauge wire to the ground terminal of the battery, and then run the wire neatly to the ground wire (black) on the fan. Please be sure to note that the keyword in the previous sentence is NEAT, you don’t want it coming loose and getting in the way of moving parts, plus you want it to look good don’t you? Now you will connect a piece of 12 gauge wire to the positive terminal of the battery and run it neatly to the throttle body, be sure to leave about 3 inches of wire to work with here, you will need it later. As mentioned before, keep the wire neat and secure! You want it to look good don’t you? Next you will have to run a piece of 12 gauge wire from the in-line-blowers positive wire up to the throttle body, once again you will want to secure the wire neatly and leave about 3 inches to work with here. Next you will want to connect the 2 wires to the Mini switch. Be sure to properly wrap any bare wires around the switch with the electrical tape so that they will not touch each other or something else if they come loose. Another option is to wrap the wires in heat shrink tubing, but this is up to you. Now, with everything hooked up, press the button and make sure the fan comes on. If it does not, be sure to check all your connections and make sure they are all secure. Now comes the tough part. Depending on your car, you will have to mount the switch in a position where it is activated during wide-open throttle (WOT). Below is a picture of our test car where you could mount the switch on the throttle body so that the switch is depressed only at wide-open throttle. The Red mark represents where the switch would be mounted; the blue mark is the part of the throttle that would come in contact with the switch at wide-open throttle. The second picture is how it would look at wide-open throttle, so you can see how it would depress the button. Depending on your vehicle, you can install the button in a way that your throttle depresses the button and turns the fan on at wide-open throttle. If you can’t seem to find a way to mount the switch anywhere on the throttle body; you can alternatively run the wires into the cabin and mount the switch so that the gas pedal will push the button when it is stomped to the floor, which would be at wide-open-throttle. This part of the installation, you are partly on your own because you will have to take different approaches depending on what vehicle you are installing the supercharger on. Be sure you really mount the switch well, you do not want it to come loose and interfere with the operation of the throttle, this would be very dangerous, not only for your vehicle, but for your safety also. If this should ever happen, be sure to shut off your engine, but do not turn the key so much that your steering will lock on you. An alternative to doing this is to just put your car in neutral until you can come to a complete stop and then shut your car off, this will eliminate the possibility of your steering locking up before you can come to a complete stop. This method may be a little harder on your engine, but it is much safer for you. V2 Parts List (24,000 RPM Supercharger capable of up to 2psi boost!) 1-Watt-Age 3" or 4" depending on the intake, Powerfan 400/6 - with “cobalt” or similar motor 1- 3" or 4" depending on the intake, piece of soft pipe, you may not need this once again 1- SPST Momentary Pushbutton Switch 1- Roll of electrical tape 1- Metal Bracket 1- 25ft Roll of 12-Gauge wire The installation instructions for this blower are the same as the other one, so you will just want to follow those. The only thing different about this one is that it spins at 24,000 rpm’s instead of 8000 rpm’s. This blower is recommended over the 8000 rpm model due to the fact cars with larger engines, need more air, and the 8000 rpm model may just be giving your engine what it needs and not give it anything extra, it may actually be a little restrictive. So the 24,000 blower is highly recommended here. It also will give you about three times as much airflow (roughly 750cfm over the smaller units 250cfm which will dramatically increase your performance). The cost of this fan is about twice as much, but it is definitely worth the extra boost. ($60 instead of $30) So where can you find all these parts explained above? Well here you go, below are websites that will help you find the parts necessary and their prices. Remember, as new materials become available you will have the option of increasing the performance of your supercharger. There is also another option that has not been explained here. It involves doubling up two finished electric superchargers which could potentially double your airflow and dramatically increase your performance. This however can often take up much needed room in your engine bay so be sure to check your clearance before attempting the install! Below Are Websites that offer all the necessary parts needed.

Er.... let me think about it.................

mm....... maybe I will ask the local LPG fitter!!

Geoff, do you want the LPG back, I can send it back in a jiffy bag or two

They are half full according to the green lights!! I dont want to be in three countys at the same time............boom!

Is this a Barn find? Looks like a LR on steroids.

Anyone know what panel/sill would replace this: I think it may be Part No. RR123AL: Also this bit.............. Many thanks

I love you and want to have your Children Thanks

On another BBC subject, I noticed that the BBC are now advertising a Radio1 CD on SKY One!!

Anyone know where I can get a "Exploded" view of the RRC (1989) including all the panels? I need to identify what repair panels I need and paddocks website is not that clear!! Ta

Oh the shame, the scandel.............but they wish they had never given up Billing!

2.5 Diesel fits straight in but is only slightly more powerfull than the 2.25D (IMHO) Montego is the way to go, even better 200/300tdi

That should be looks......... as Geoff said it needs some TLC and lots of welding........

..........thanks Geoff Now safely home........ Trailer was huge and we think maybe as heavy as the RRC Now just to have a look round it and decide whether to get it on the road or strip it for the hybrid

I had a LWB once........it broke

Does this mean you can do mail order again?

Worth a try for the sake of 2 minutes

Got any sand blasters?

My S3 (Cow) now has a nice new Speedo cable.......problem is that it still dont work, I know the cable & speedo work as I put a drill on it and its fine. Is it possible the drive gear is damaged? Ta
