The Eaton M90 fits very nicely in the engine bay of a Rover 215 V8 Wedge, currently running 4psi and gives 250hp with 308lbs of torque

I can't see a recirc valve on that installation - do you have one?

Recirc valve is in front of the engine, you can just make out the chrome top of it just in front of the plenum.
Pic is from a year ago, things have altered a little since then, now running an emerald ECU with coil packs and have ditched the Jag airflow meter, it runs a lot smoother now.

Worth trying ESS Tuning I do know their kits are extremely good and the performance is world class. The Lymshom supercharger design they use is a superior product but you will need to check if they have something off the shelf that fits!

So happy I found this thread. I want to do exactly the same thing to my SD1. I'm in Canada with a UK SPec VDP Efi, so it is a little tricky, but want to see what I can do myself smile

Does anyone know, what transmission was used with the RV8 in the TVR by Tony?

It uses the Rover LT77 box, same as the SD1....

Were you that nice SD1 at Bronte?, if so, not sure you will remember but I had a red TVR (think I had my Griffith, maybe my 350i).

I encountered you on the QEW on the way, and said hi once there...
