Project Dark Knight Rising
Hey All! It's been a hot minute, and I've been making progress, it's just been slow. Hand sanding the block is taking forever, especially since I can only get to NJ roughly every other weekend. That said, the left bank was way out of whack all over, and I'm just now getting it back into... -
Exhaust solutions?
My plan for my "milder" LR4, is to install 2 aero turbine 2.5" mufflers in place of the stock muffler and resonator. Then install two 2.5" aero turbine resonators just before the end of the exhaust pipe. That'll open it up, and should sound A LOT better, but not have too much drone. -
Bad ECM or something else?
They will get hot, but typically they’re only gonna get hot when you’re really Pushing the engine hard and it’s hot out. Sitting at idle, there’s no requirement for charge air cooling as the SC really isn’t working, and hence the pump will not turn on. If the pump’s not on, it won’t push... -
Bad ECM or something else?
A couple thoughts… I think you’re looking in the wrong place. If the whole OBD2 system is down, I would be checking the connector ground behind the footwell kick panel. (Both sides just to be safe). The PCM being down won’t cause full loss of communication, heck I’ve only had 1/2 my modules... -

Yes, I've been looking at that. It still has the same charge cooler design though. I mean, that's the great thing about it, it's 100% stock bolt up! With heat soak being such an achilles heel for these things, I feel like even the Harrop SC will suffer the same issue until the heat issues... -

No, I’m looking at something to increase airflow and reduce temperatures…and allow me to possibly swap out for a larger SC. I’m thinking of trying to mold something like the whipple design: Or maybe the coyote: I feel like a taller SC cover plate will help the airflow better withing the... -
2015 LR4 - Major engine work - Sell / Sell Parts
Honestly, for the cost, I'd try and sell yours as a fixer and just get another used one. In the end you're going to come out WAY ahead. That said, these things tend to sit for a while as fixers. However, a low mileage 2016 will probably only run you $15-$16K. So, you'll already be $3K ahead... -
2015 LR4 - Major engine work - Sell / Sell Parts
Ok, lemme first say I'm looking at your pictures, and the damage....if any, isn't all that bad. I've seen these engines run just fine with bent valves and imprints in the pistons. I will say $19K for a reman engine sounds about right given the fact that $12K is probably the engine cost... -

No, unfortunately I didn't take any "pre-sanding" measurements save just putting my straightedge against the block and looking for light. That said, I didn't see a whole lotta light. Granted the angle was terrible, and it's hard to see through the front of the grill to check. Which leads... -

OK, so I finally got a little work done this past weekend. It took me roughly a day or so to get my deck prepping tool made...and that was mostly because it took the JB weld that long to set up. Basically, as I don't have the tools on me to pull the block back out, I'm "decking" it in the... -
Project Dark Knight Rising
Thanks! I appreciate the support! I've got the heads back off and am taking them to the machine shop sometime this week to be pressure checked, cleaned and resurfaced. (Not gonna lie, kinda jacked up the one head trying to get it pried off the block. That said, I've heard a rumor that the... -
Project Dark Knight Rising
I plan on pulling the heads, again, to get them re-checked at a shop near me. Maybe they got damaged during the move to TN or something? As for the block, that's a little trickier. I don't have the capacity to lift the body to pull the block again, and there's a lot of crap that has to be... -

Well folks....it's been a rough weekend. Turns out, I didn't screw up and nothing broke, and the timing is dead on. Then I went and checked the cylinders again and noticed a lot of oil pooled up around the head gasket, and potentially some coolant in one cylinder. (Although there's a chance... -
2012 LR4 infotainment problem. Help please!
I’m not sure whether it replaces the satellite module, but I know we don’t have them here in the US. It’ll look a little different, but that’s where the module is located. You’re welcome btw! That said, it was the. It’s from PowerfulUK who made the video. Although admittedly, I’ve watched... -
2012 LR4 infotainment problem. Help please!
The rear quarter panel is right next to the 3rd row seating. In order to remove it, you have to remove the lower seatbelt bolt, a Phillips screw about halfway up the rear of the rear door frame, the rear cargo tie downs and trim plate, then the tailgate support wire. This video explains it A... -
2012 LR4 infotainment problem. Help please!
I’m glad you found the problem! FYI, before you tear the dash apart, the satellite radio module is behind the rear quarter panel. -
Project Dark Knight Rising
Soooo.... it looks like it nothing too major....ish. Here's what I know: - All the cylinder are clean and pretty and have NO SIGNS of coolant in them. - My cooling system failed its pressure test because the flipping plastic side cap on the radiator is leaking. - It does not appear as... -
Project Dark Knight Rising
No, this was heavy smoke and it ran like crap and now it won't restart. (It'll crank, but won't catch.). It ran smooth as silk without the MAF's, vacuum hose, OAT sensor and cooling fan connected a week and a half ago. (I cranked it and shut it down 3 times after the "first start" video)... -
Project Dark Knight Rising
Ok folks, so today was a bit of a disappointment. First, the good news: -I finally got the new fan installed...took may too long to get everything together. -I topped off the power steering reservoir. Yay. -I programmed the new (used) PCM to the vehicle. (and filmed it)...remember, In had... -
Finally finished, Bosch for Denso Infotainment Swap
Yes, it’s been…um…a learning experience to say the least! lol!! -
H/K Logic7 system blown?
Good point… FYI, there’s only 1 amp for this system. 2010/11, it’s under the passenger seat. 2012+ it’s behind the right rear trim panel. -
2012 LR4 infotainment problem. Help please!
Anything from 2012-2016 will work. Oh yeah, and I just remembered to tell you, only the 2010/11 had a separate bluetooth module. 2012+ models have the bluetooth modules in the audio unit. -
2012 LR4 infotainment problem. Help please!
I think you're jumping the gun a little. You can unplug the module first and see if it fixes your problem. (Leave the fiber connected as a "through way"). That said, have you pulled the touchscreen or audio unit yet? Honestly, if it was the bluetooth unit, you'd just see the bluetooth... -
2012 LR4 infotainment problem. Help please!
Yeah, happened to me. Contact GAP and they send you a flash and then it’ll run a different key fob routine. Go ahead and read your ECU info so you can send it to them, that way they know exactly what they’re getting into. I just usually email it to myself via the app, then send it attached... -
2012 LR4 infotainment problem. Help please!
Sounds reasonable enough, probably about time to grab a used audio unit from eBay and swap it out. Although, if you haven’t pulled the units out to check and see if there’s some obvious signs of damage or corrosion, I’d do that first. It might not yield any results, or it may point you to...
