engine origins
Discussion
Out of curiousity really, does anybody know who/where the speed 6 and ajp8 engines are made ? - I know TVR Power did the V8s, do they also build the speed 6/8 ?
Have any of you had any experience of supercharging the rover v8s ? There are loads of sites that seem to suggest this for the Rover v8 in Rangerovers/landrovers, but I've never seen any mention of TVRs.

Years back, an old TVR dealer (Haughins I think) used to do a supercharged version of the wedges which were bacged "SX", rather than "SE". So it can certainly be done.
Recently, I saw a 4.6 s'charged Westfield at the Mech Repairs rolling road, which was next in line for the Mark Adams treatment, after he'd chipped my car. If you want to tune a Rover V8 (TVR or not), he and/or Tim Lamont (of ACT) are as good a place as any to start, Contact details can be found in Sprint magazine.

Have a read of this thread under the cerbera section. After the first 10 or so posts it gets very detailed on the subject your asking about.
