    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...

    Just checked, HP Tuners only supports 14 and up engines. Aka the newer ECU....[emoji15] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    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...

    5.0 supercharged into an LR4?

    I agree! If they can reprogram the RRS ECU, they should easily be able to link it to the LR4....or alternatively just program the LR4 ECU with the RRS tables....either way should work. The big question is how much it’ll cost...[emoji15] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    5.0 supercharged into an LR4?

    No, it’ll have to be VIN coded to the LR4, otherwise the system will not initialize correctly and the “security” will keep the engine from running. Like I said, it’s a giant pain in the rear! Hopefully I’ll have a solution soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    5.0 supercharged into an LR4?

    Thus far, there’s only one show stopper I haven’t been able to find a solution to yet....and that’s the ECU. I know my scan tool isn’t capable of programming a new ECU into the vehicle. I’ve called a couple companies offering stock replacement ECU’s and they’re not willing to do any kind of...

    Door deadening

    I meant to ask, where did you get all your plastic pins for the doors/door cards? Also, I may have read it wrong, but you mentioned rubber seal? Was that already in the door, or did you add it? Sorry, I haven’t taken the panels off this vehicle yet....I figure it’s better to order the parts...

    Pistons from ebay?

    Hey Guys! Here’s my dilemma... I’ve found a set of pistons for my 2010 LR4, but they’re from eBay. (Actually I’m looking at a set of 8 for the super charged engine, but that’s a different thread). Typically, ordering stuff off eBay is not a problem, but in this case, I have to wonder a little...

    Door deadening

    Wow, thanks for the write up! I’m actually a few months away for several modifications/upgrades to my 2010 LR4 as well. I did just bit the bullet and bought the 825W amp for a 2012 system to install, and then I plan on retrofitting AudioFrog speakers into the vehicle to make sure they can...

    5.0 supercharged into an LR4?

    I have to agree, 510 hp for off-roading, plus the extra parts may be a little over kill! As far as whether it’s worth it? Well, more horsepower is ALWAYS worth it in my book! That said, I also have a tinkering problem, and am always looking for a new challenge, and this qualifies...

    I plan on posting it as I go! Hopefully the e-pump/fan upgrade will help solve the water pump and crossover tube issue too....time will tell! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    5.0 supercharged into an LR4?

    You’re right, the newer engines aren’t like the old iron V8’s, but I have yet to come cross an aluminum head that didn’t at least need to be polished before going back on. You’re right, I will have to replace the pistons to the lower compression ones as well as the crank. Also, the heads are...

    5.0 supercharged into an LR4?

    You’re right, but I have a slight “tinkering” problem! That said, I’m fairly confident my head gasket is on its way out, so at a bare minimum I’m taking the heads off.....which then sparks the question, do I pull the engine and have the block decked? I also feel like my TC is starting to hit...
