fantastin had many a rover in my past all tuned my last was a twin plenum which ran a je enginering 5ltr engine police gear box all uprated trans . prop shaft and lsd rr full koni suspension jag brakes disc conversion rr`s 4 core ally rad oil coolers thousands spent on it .. i had to put octane booster in 4 star petrol to run it really mis the old girl .
I want to do this to my 2001 discovery, what issues did you have with bolting the turbo's onto the manifolds and what changes did you have to make? looks like you are running the standard plenum? a friend of mine owned a twin turbo vitesse back in the early 90's it was developed by jandspeed in Salisbury UK as a test/project car and they sold it on. didn't take much notice of how they did it though. the last time i saw the car it was in Andover UK. It was parked in Tollgate rd.
@gjn67 The Exhaust manifolds are all custom to take a T25 flange and then a ceramic coating applied. The Plenum was created by cutting and welding 2 plenums together to give a throttle body and each side. The mechanical throttle plates were removed and replaced the 2 electronic throttle bodies from a V10 Subaru. The ECU running the engine also controls Plate position based on Pedal position. The Intercooler and piping is all custom stainless mandrel bent on so on. Its just a lot of time.
About time someone spent some time and money hotting one of these very underrated machines. Nice and original on the outside, anything but on the inside. Absolute pleasure to see. Keep the faith!
I just saw my dream ! Man this is the BEST ROVER SD1 I've seen, I got one, I practically rebuilt it and now I wanna tune it ! I want it like this one, it's fuckin' BRILIANT ! Incredible, one hell of a BEAST ! Take care of him !!!
Very Impressive work!! My eyes are green at the moment, Shes a real Beast, you must be very proud and quite right so, and the test drive at the end, all i can say is F*** ME!!!
Thanks for posting this video!

@twrxj12. Turbos were purchased from the local Garrett agent, but all the piping work is hand fabricated.

Funny thing is that it is probably no quicker than standard. I would sooner a 370kw supercharged R8, but thats just me.
