To upgrade head bolts or not?
Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking.... Plus, I've heard People have had issues re-torquing head bolts in these aluminum blocks. If I have to go in and use the head kit anyway, I might as well upsize! FYI, this is the kit I'm planning on using: https://www.huhnsolutions.com/jaguar A... -
Different Style Timing Chains?
No one knows huh? Why is it I always seem to find "those" engines!?!?!?!? Please somebody know what this is! -
5.0 supercharged into an LR4?
@SCV8LR4 I have a feeling I'm WAAAAAAYYYYY away from you up here in Maine....but maybe I'll get lucky? I've toyed with a SDD tool, but the price tag is just too large for me. Unless you know of a cheaper SDD tool solution? -
5.0 supercharged into an LR4?
@SCV8LR4 Out of curiosity, who did you get to flash your ECU? Because @Hermes and I have called everyone we can find trying to get it done and no one will do it for us? I looked into the KESS and KTAG, but because we have the Denso computers there's just not a lot out there for them... -
To upgrade head bolts or not?
I'm in the process of rebuilding a 5.0 SC engine and I have a decision to make. As I'm not a machinist by trade I thought I would float this out there to those who have more experience in this area than me. Upon disassembling my engine, I discovered I have the original style M10 size bolts... -
Different Style Timing Chains?
Hello out there LR folks! I've got a bit of an interesting situation on my hands. Long story even longer, I'm rebuilding a 5.0 SC RRS engine. Here's the rub....I have ordered all new timing components from Land Rover British, and pretty much everything is OEM....not a problem....until I got... -
5.0 supercharged into an LR4?
Please don’t hate to break it to us!! That’s freaking awesome news!!!! I’m just curious how you were able to get around all the communications and module issues? Granted I haven’t executed the swap yet as I’m still rebuilding my engine, (darn machine shop “2-4 month” turn around time. :mad:)... -
5.0 supercharged into an LR4?
Hey Guys! A couple updates on our progress. First, I finally received the jag motor and am in the process of tearing it down to get it to the the machine shop. More on that later. Regarding the swap process. @Hermes is going to be offline for a while, so I'll fill you in with where he's... -
At Long Last... Modern head unit!
Hey @Stuart Barnes, do you have any issues with glare and the new system? Since it appears the Android tablet mounts at the same angle as the stock display? I seem to have a problem with the sun in the afternoon shining on the display making it very hard to see.....of course all the dust on it... -
LR 5.0 vs Jag 5.0?
Thanks for all the info! I did indeed order the Jag engine, and will modify it as I go. Since I'm swapping into my existing LR4, I'll just reuse the existing accessories, probably order a new oil pan and the rest of the internal parts, I actually have from the original SC donor engine. I'll... -
TFT Upgrade
@Hermes, thanks for the advice! I’m gonna try and get to the install this weekend, but we’ll see. That said, I think you may be right as far as customizing is concerned. I feel like there has to be a way to widen the bezel enough to see all the lights…but you’re probably on the right track... -
5.0 supercharged into an LR4?
Well, I have a small update to make. Earlier in the thread, I made the assumption the 5.0NA and 5.0SC blocks were the same. As I have recently found out, that is not the case. They are slightly different. Don't ask me how, because I have no idea, I just confirmed different part numbers... -
TFT Upgrade
Ok, @Hermes, I need your hex editing wisdom..... I've attached a few screenshots of the different cluster codes. As far as I can tell, from the RRS SC cluster, lines C0, D0 and E0 are the security code lines. However, when shifting to the TFT display, there's a heck of a lot of data right... -
TFT Upgrade
No, as I understand it, the instrument clusters are the same part number for the LR4 and RRS. So, aside from a little code tweaking, they're complete plug and play! The TFT gauge cluster is different. These are sourced from a RRFF, and they're a little different. From what I have read... -
TFT Upgrade
Found it!! @Hermes, you were right! Pulled the board and it was right there! Now the fun begins.....sorting through the code to separate the security and mileage.....the VIN is easy! -
TFT Upgrade
Hey all! Well, I know several LR4 owners out there have completed this mod, but now I'm attempting it for myself. Everything seems to be going well, except for the fact that I can't find the correct chip to read on the back of the TFT instrument cluster. I've circled the 2 chips I've read in... -
5.0 supercharged into an LR4?
Truthfully, we could get the most out of the newer SC engines as the Denso ECU of our "vintage" engines has some limitations. From what the tunes I've been talking to tell me, they're pretty much hitting a wall around 575-600HP with the Denso ECU's. Evidently the newer Bosch ECU's have more... -
LR 5.0 vs Jag 5.0?
Well, turns out the NA and SC blocks are indeed different.....but, I've been able to determine the Jag and LR blocks are the same! I may have to change a few ancilliary parts, but hey, that's what donor engines are for! -
LR 5.0 vs Jag 5.0?
They're both 120K plus, so high mileage. That said, I've already purchased new pistons, rods, timing chains, bearings, gaskets etc... So really, any engine I get, I'm going to rebuild, just to be safe. That said, I think I may have just found a bare block on ebay which may give me what I... -
LR 5.0 vs Jag 5.0?
That all makes sense. Although, the number of times I've had to replace the water pump and crossover tubes......makes me wonder about the whole water resistant piece! Ha! Thanks for the info! Not sure if I'll try this or not.....I just happened to find a Jag engine for $4250 vs the cheapest... -
LR 5.0 vs Jag 5.0?
Does anyone know the difference between the Land Rover 5.0 engine and the Jag 5.0 engine? More specifically, can I use one as a long block for the other? Long story even longer, I need to rebuild the engine in my LR4, and rather than have the car down for several months while waiting on... -
5.0 supercharged into an LR4?
Yet again, awesome write up, thank you!! Also, your setup looks great! I like the new cluster visor wrap! It looks like I'm going to have to break out my old PC and edit the EEPROM files on there rather than downloading them to the PC, transferring them to my MAC then back again....totally... -
5.0 supercharged into an LR4?
First off, that's an amazing write up!!!! Thank you very much for that! While I'm very capable at soldering and electronics, coding is not my strong point, so I'm glad you led the charge! I just purchased the EEPROM reader and will download the hex editor in a little bit! For my swap, I... -
5.0 supercharged into an LR4?
Sorry to keep asking questions, but where did you find the $20 EEPROM for the instrument cluster? [emoji2962] I searched high and low and could only find a sketchy software system that could change the mileage on your instrument cluster….but could change the VIN or anything like that. Sent... -
5.0 supercharged into an LR4?
Out of curiosity, did you pull all your modules from a RR or a RRS? I'm REALLY hoping the receiver, entry sensor and antenna are not needed since I pulled everything from a RRS..... I hope...I hope...I hope... I've got the KVM, just not the other 3 modules. In theory they're not VIN coded...
