Twin Turbo 4.5 Rover V8

[Mellow Yellow]

Interesting project for somebody:

Rover 4.5 V8 Twin Turbo Twin plenum Intercooled

[Bluebottle]

interesting looking crossover plenum, not seem one like that before

turbo location currently no good but with modified headers could be interesting winter project for someone.

Would fit nicely into my SD1!,he had it on ebay before and pulled it ,think he thought it was going too cheap!

Not loving the 90degree pipes lol...looks a pile of cack to me....£2000 would go a very long way to doing your own conversion that will actually fit!

That was then & this now.

On a different note - the casting that fits on to the intlet manifold looks interesting. If it was 45mm to the inlet - suitable for throttle body conversion???

Not seen that before on Mez's manifold page....

that was my thoughts earlier but using twin Rotrex. On closer inspection the casting was made by Mangoletsi, but i cant find out much more about it other than Mangoletsi having had a connection with Rover as for back as 1950 Mangoletsi Manifolds

its a bargain for £2k.
Went along way with guy, but decided against as the only thing I woukld have kept was the induction...and that was non-std for the SC-Power set up. Single SC would be fine. 460bhp and 500lb/ft I reckon. Could have been special in the tuscan but for the conversion costs(£8k+) I can do alot of racing.
