5.0 supercharged into an LR4?
There HAS to be a way to get around the coding on the RRSC ECU, to allow it to work in the LR4... :albertein -

what’s the fastest you’ve gone in your LR4
While we've never had the LR4 at sustained speeds much beyond 70-80mph (freeway), my wife did drag race it for the 2019 season in the Street Truck class. Up here at ~2700' elevation it typically ran mid-15's at 90mph. Highest trap speed was a tick under 92mph. Zero issues. Photo below from May... -
5.0 supercharged into an LR4?
This. ^^^ I have a feeling quite a few other systems may not be happy with the original ECU not functioning. And some of those systems may be what makes the LR4 capabilities special. For off-road use I don't think the power increase makes much sense. Has anyone ever felt 375hp was inadequate... -
5.0 supercharged into an LR4?
Awesome. Sounds like you have a really good handle on the upgrade. I'm looking forward to your project! :beer: -
5.0 supercharged into an LR4?
If the heads do have to come off, you don't need to deck the block (probably not even the head) unless there was severe overheating. These motors are not like old domestic V8's with iron block/heads. I'm not sure if the TC will have any significant effect on shifting, it's more likely to be... -
5.0 supercharged into an LR4?
I guess I don't understand why not just fix the timing chain /guides tensioner on the original engine? It isn't like these items keep failing. It should be a once-per-lifetime issue, per engine. The new parts are updated, it won't happen again (if changing the correct oil frequently enough)... -
LR4 5.0 Chain Guides actual problem?
Dealers are lazy and don't want to dig up the information, especially if you aren't paying for their time. Yes, details of the previous owner are private information. But details about what work was done to the truck is not. It's their way of getting rid of you. They could provide the service... -
Windshield wipers obnoxiously scraping
303 Aerospace Protectant is supposed to help prolong wiper lifespan, and reduce wiping problems. They used to sell a box of packets with small wipes that would treat several wipers, but appears these are NLA. Instead, just use your normal bottle of 303, squirt on a cloth, and wipe down the... -
5.0 supercharged into an LR4?
When you reach the point of having to swap pistons... it becomes a lot more enticing to just swap the entire engine instead. I wouldn't attempt to convert a normally-aspirated motor to supercharged, but that's just me. Too many unknowns, too much risk... :eek: -
LR4 whining noise turned into a loud clicking noise now
Is the metal pulley a Land Rover item from a different year? Do you happen to know the part number? -
Done with mechanics/anyone know what this cylinder bank,cam cover bolt is called
Parts list and exploded diagrams are available in a program called "Microcat", available from eBay sellers. It's miserably difficult to navigate and use. As a bonus, many times the part number shown has been superceded to a newer p/n, but the online dealer sites (like the one you linked to) will... -

That is awesome! Just like all Mercedes hoods. I never knew this - thanks for sharing! :rock: -
Helpful tips
Very cool - never heard of this. Not that I plan to get stuck as described, but it's nice to know there is additional suspension height available in emergencies! Anyone know if the feature is present on 2010-2013 USA spec with the V8 5.0L engine? :cool: -
Engine oil leak front timing cover gasket
Depending on the exact location of the leak, it MAY be possible to apply some external sealant as a Band-Aid fix to stop the leak, rather than disassembling parts of the engine. If the leak is so small that there is zero drip when you park overnight, it may not be worth spending thousands of... -
LR4 whining noise turned into a loud clicking noise now
That sounds bad. As a test, I would disconnect the serpentine belt and run the engine briefly, to see if the noise goes away. If so, that confirms it is an external belt-driven item. If not... uh-oh. :eek: -
Lr4 misfire on all cylinders
Yikes! Any word on what caused the bent valves? :eek: -
Low Battery: Start Engine - Battery fine...Alternator working great
14.75 volts with engine running seems a tad high, now I need to go check my LR4 with the engine running! This only indicates the ALTERNATOR is working. The battery really needs a load test to determine if it's good, failing, or bad. Most FLAPS/McParts stores will load test for free, hoping the... -
New Brakes - 2015 LR4
Need more info. $660 sounds low for front pads+rotors, and high for pads only. How many miles on the truck, and have the brakes ever been replaced since new? If you can turn a wrench at all, this job is totally DIY'able within an afternoon, for <$100 with OEM Ferodo pads + sensors. Add a couple... -
Extended Warranty Debate
I agree with the above. Just curious, what color combo & options are on the no-mile LR4? What a great find! :beer: -
5.0 Engine Mount blown
Stuff like this is *exactly* why I do 99.44% of repairs myself, on all our vehicles. Even if I have to buy special tools for a job, in the end it's usually still less expensive, and I'm more confident that the job was done properly. I care about doing it right, they care about doing it fast and... -
Thoughts on filling up with E10?
Correct. Although I've not had issues storing E10 without stabilizer (in a dry climate) for 6-12 months, I don't do that on purpose. Any time I may have E10 in a vehicle being stored for long periods, I use Sta-Bil, and try to keep the amount in the tank as low as possible. The LR4 gets enough... -
Thoughts on filling up with E10?
Where I live, only 91-octane E10 is commonly available. Been forced to use this in all our vehicles for years now. The only side effect is slightly reduced fuel economy. That said, I would NOT use E15 in any vehicle unless the manufacturer explicitly approves it. :eek: -
Cloud of Smoke
How much oil are you consuming? Billowing blue clouds would normally require quarts of oil added between changes. o_O -
Any Dash Cams you particularly like for being inconspicuous / ease of install?
It depends where you live, but in many states, yes a GOOD radar detector is useful. On the west coast, laser is not very common. And of course a detector is not a license to speed; most patrol cars use instant-on radar so there may not be much more warning than with laser. It definitely help...
