    Crossover pipe flange dimensions

    First off, that sucks about the mountains trip! Sorry to hear that....but yes, 150K miles is a lot for an OE pump. Thanks for the pics and measurements of the crossover tube! That’s exactly what I needed!!! I’ve been talking to Motion Raceworks and it looks like their water pump adapter...

    Crossover pipe flange dimensions

    Hey Blake, thought I’d give a quick bump and see if you had a chance to measure the pipe? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    2012 Electrical issues; dash goes dark while driving, no HVAC, stereo, TPMS sensor error. videos.

    I did a little digging through the service manual, and the common component in all your issues appears to be the Central Junction Box (CJB). As avslash recommended, I’d look for a bad ground, or corroded connection inside your CJB. Also, when you replaced your battery, did you happen to...

    LR4 - LCA - Longevitiy/Diagnostic

    To be honest, I didn’t notice any difference in ride quality with the poly bushings. That said, they’re only on the LCA’s in my rover. I did notice a difference when I swapped to the Armott air shocks. However, the difference was just the fact that the suspension felt stiffer and handled...

    Air suspension leak issue

    Yeah, I think I’m gonna have to go back and look....there’s got to be a line leaking somewhere. Unless there’s some sort of weird internal leak with the compressor....but that sounds odd to me. I’ll have it back in the garage tomorrow and take a look! (Slammed today). Sent from my...

    LR4 - LCA - Longevitiy/Diagnostic

    I’ll second...or third that. The LCA’s cost $388 from Lucky 8, and then another $90 if you want the orange poly bush kit (I recommend it). So, for parts you’re looking at about $470 Installation isn’t too bad, however, you’re going to need an alignment afterwards. I’ve seen some shops...

    Air suspension leak issue

    I did something similar except when I put it in off-road height, I ran around with a spray bottle full of soapy water and sprayed every connection....no bubbles. Which is why I’m leaning toward an internal leak, or perhaps something with the ride control module.... I do know that one of the...

    Air suspension leak issue

    Hey guys! I’m having some issues with my air suspension bleeding down overnight. Here’s a little back info, and hopefully you can help find the little gremlin! I updated to the AMK compressor and Arnott air shocks all the way around as well as replaced the front distribution valve block...

    LR4 - LCA - Longevitiy/Diagnostic

    Same for, except I would also feel a bump or “clunk when I stopped or went over a small bump in the road. FYI, after going through OEM LCA’s about every 30K miles, I switched to Lucky 8’s LCA’s with the orange urethane bushings and they’ve been amazing! They’re still going strong 25K miles...

    5.0 Reman Engine Supplier

    To be perfectly honest with you, I can’t give you an exact reason as I’m not an expert in this area. However, I do know that I have been told by several LR engine specialists that the 5.0 block is not able to be repaired should you blow a cylinder. If I had to hazard a guess, it’s because...

    5.0 Reman Engine Supplier

    In theory...no. In reality, they’re from Ford....so....probably, yes! Lol I will say I think it’s hilarious to shell out a tone of $$ on “genuine” Land Rover parts only to see FoMoCo stamped all over everything! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Crossover pipe flange dimensions

    I’m looking for the front crossover dimensions....I think. As I understand it, the coolant goes in through the water pump ports, then out via the crossover ports. I’m not familiar with the front vs. the rear....but I’m always learning! That said, if you could measure the ports on the front...

    Starting issue

    Yes, as I learned....thankfully not the hard way...anytime you swap the battery, you need to go in and reset the calibration on it. Also, if the battery you replaced was rated different...say H7 vs. H8, you need to amend the CCF for it so the computer know what the base state is supposed to be...

    5.0 Reman Engine Supplier

    I wish I could tell you I have personal experience with them, but I don’t. That said, there are a couple things I feel you should know about pretty much all the remanufactured engines out there. Most of the internals they’re going to use are not OEM LR parts. Pretty much all the bearings...

    Crossover pipe flange dimensions

    I was hoping someone can help me with a little project I’m working on. Long story short I’m about to pull my engine and rebuild it with an electric water pump and fan set up. However, to minimize down time, I’m trying to buy as many parts ahead of time so when I pull the engine I won’t have to...

    LR4 windshield replacement

    I have had my LR4 for 10 years now, and had 2 LR3's before that. I never had any issues replacing my glass on the LR3, but the LR4 was a different story. Let me preface this with the fact that my insurance paid for all but a $100 co-pay. Safelite did the install, and even though I...

    5.0 supercharged into an LR4?

    I ended up going the rebuild with parts route. I already had all the timing chains and injector seals for my current LR4, then I found a gentleman who’s selling everything I’d need from an SC engine for $800....I just couldn’t pass it up. Just an FYI for everyone, thus far the project cost...

    5.0 supercharged into an LR4?

    Update: So after A LOT of emailing and web research, I found the good folks at Blackbox Solutions (BBS) who specialize in Land Rover electronics. Long story even longer, there are 5 ECU’s that are VIN coded from the factory. Not only are they VIN coded, but they also run a slightly different...

    5.0 supercharged into an LR4?

    Update 1 May 2020: I’ve been talking to a lot of different companies, and still, no one knows. I’ve been emailing back and forth with GAP tools (aka the makers of the iiD scan tool). They seem to think they can figure it out, but it’ll take a full week’s worth of work. (Aka really pricey)...

    5.0 supercharged into an LR4?

    Update 4/29/20: So, long story short, no one can seem to give me a definitive yes or no as to whether it’s possible to recode to ECU. One thing I did find out from the tuner at Vivid Racing was that we should be able to plug the SC ECU in and the engine will start and run....but he did say a...

    5.0 supercharged into an LR4?

    Very true, it’ll never handle the same as a RRS, the suspension just isn’t there. However, for just driving around town, the extra “get up and go” will be a lot of fun! Plus it’ll be kinda cool just to say you have a supercharged LR4! [emoji48] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    5.0 supercharged into an LR4?

    I probably should have added that so far I haven’t found any differences in the sensors between the 2 engines....so in theory, the NA computer with new data tables (possibly just copies of the stock SC files) should work.....should being the key word. Still waiting on the shops to open...

    5.0 supercharged into an LR4?

    Truthfully, I don’t know yet. I’ve done a lot of ECU tuning in the past, just not with these engines. When it comes to running the engines, there are really only a few data tables that matter. That said, there’s also a lot of other stuff in there too that’s specific to the vehicle...which is...
