Ford sierra v8 supercharged - the evolution - and start up with the charger!

[dallen122758]

. Nothing beats a blower on an engine nice car. But the trouble with the ford 5.0 is they made so many version of it the best is the BOSS 302, 3 firing orders, oil pans for days they are a pain to work on and getting all the right parts to put it together an in a car is a night mare motor mounts, transmission, drive belt and accessory but if you were here you would have millions of them to pick from.

it wouldn't happen to be the rover 3.5 v8?, because my dad put one of them in his sierra when he did grasstrack not many years ago, apparently it went the clappers!

[ninjaaaaaa1]

3.9! it did go well with a basic 3.5 in it tho as thats where it all started!

ford sierra with an f 15 jet engine

Quick question. Don't get me wrong, I'm a dubber, so not a Ford lover (but appreciate good engineering), but if you're doing it for the noise and not that worried about the cost to a point, why not put a 5.0 Ford V8 in?? It should fit cause the South African XR8 Sierra's had them in, then you would be keeping it Ford and the drivetrain will fit. I know it's a harder engine to find in this country, but u can get them

[ninjaaaaaa1]

@eggfromsywell Hey! TRouble is A the cost of the engine, and B the cost of the parts here. It'b be a better to use a chevy cost wise but its a tight fit and again they are sort after so not so easy to find, but the ford engine is narrower and agree - easier to use. Its just a question of cost and rover engines are 2 a penny here so it kinda made sense. The next one will be chevy powered - this car was put back to n/a and sold, and replaced by a cossie in the end!!

serious repsect for those....

[willslk48]

i bet your neighbours love you

[ninjaaaaaa1]

@willslk48 They actually do tho - they love it. We aint out there at 2am doin it!!!

[federalnutter]

sounds mint mate

[ninjaaaaaa1]

cheers bud! its for sale now on pistonheads as a sapph minus the charger again :)

[classicshit1]

I have an 3door in good nick that im thinking of converting to rover v8. yeah u could put a cossie engine in it but would cost a fortune with ecu n intercooler n what not!! n 2.8 v6 is heavy n under powered. pluss v8 sounds loads betta and weight is similar to pinto so wont kill the handaling. bet it is so much fun in the wet!! lots of work, cool car well done mate!!!

[ninjaaaaaa1]

ah, but by the time u have paid out for all the bits to do rover v8 conversion yr be on about 3k (cossie money) anyways - it wasnt cheap to do - but it was what my mate wanted to do! yes v8 sounds awesome! cheers and good luck - and if ya need any advice my mate will be happy to have a chat with ya about it ;)

[Fenith]

What kind of gearbox do you have in addition to the v8? What kind of V8 engine is it? Cheers!

[ninjaaaaaa1]

3.9 rover, using manual sdi bellhousing re-drilled to fit type 9 xr4i g/box. could use a cossie box really, as it tops out quickly! cheers si

[clown158]

i have a idea paint it orange and hood with black matte paint

[ninjaaaaaa1]

cheers - sadly the car is now in another form minus charger ;)

[bmxmattylemoth]

that sounds sweet as fuck mate...

have you by any chance got any sierra spares??

[SlobodanLoncar]

tho dog is the best man!Can u install twin-turbo on sierra's stock engine?

[fomocoboy]

tf5 boy simple answer, more power in a compact size. and a turbo twin cam just aint fast enuff........

[TF5boy]

yes, but why not just use a cosworth 4cylinder engine, in stead of ruin them with the v8??

[ninjaaaaaa1]

THING IS - ITS AS THEY SAY - EACH TO THEIR OWN... V8 SOUNDS BETTER IN MY OPINION!

[GM572]

@TF5boy

Their faces are doing all the answering for you....

[ninjaaaaaa1]

indeed  - well said!!

[a1100ndy]

rock on m8 got a v8 sierra myself you, what a sound, better than any lame 4 pot

[ninjaaaaaa1]

cheers - you know that!

[TF5boy]

Who is so stupid that they put a v8 in a sierra???

Just ruined ALL the sierra`s with this stupid v8 engines.......

[ninjaaaaaa1]

Well obviously my friend is stupid then - is that what yr saying??! I'm not quite sure what yr trying to say here - because pretty much all sierras - except cosworths - have rubbish engines as standard so any V8 is an upgrade in my eyes!

[ninjaaaaaa1]

rover 3.9, began life as a 3.5 in the blue 5door. any v8 is good lad!! dunno anything about the audi engines but it would sure be different - do it i say!

[sigoszeffo]

what is this engine from ? rover ? currently i have sierra with 2.0 pinto engine... run fine, but it's not enought ;dd I think about put there audi 3.6 V8 engine from audi v8.... what u think about it ?

ps.

sorry about my poor english :<

[omygod666oms]

ninjaaaaaa1 are you still running them on 4 wheel drive if yes i have new front prop for sale if need paid £280 from fords open to offers ?

[ninjaaaaaa1]

Hi haha yep those 1.8s are arent very tough! Well its not the easiest job to do but having re shelled this car 3 times now its almost down to a weekends work! THere are quite a few bits to collect first and a few bit which need modding - i can send u the owner of the v8;s mobile number, he said he have a chat with ya and tell u exactly what u need. Let me know if this is of interest to ya....

[slicknick270489]
