Was browsing another forum I used and was reading a rolling road shootout thread.

 

Anyway, came across this....only pics I'm afraid, anyone know anything about it? It was at 'Total Performance' rolling road.

 

 

There are 3 members on here (that i know of) doing V8 conversions! :D

They would sound awesome but...BUT, IMHO I think if you've got that monster lump poking out through the bonnet it makes it a little too American and lets face it, it ain't, it's Japanese.

However if you could fit one without the poking out bit, that would be cool, mainly for noise but what about dropping on a supercharger!

At least two guys on here will be having different mounts made up so the engine will sit lower. And regarding the supercharger, at least one won't be going down that route as he's bored the 4.5litre engine out to 5L and is turning it into a 9500 rpm screamer and the other has been in contact with a couple of guys in the US who are trialling a supercharger for the VH with a view to fitting one much further on down the line. ;)

why not just turbo the V8

why not just turbo the V8

Because I don't like the elastic power delivery of turbo'd cars, one of the reasons why the swap is happening. The smooth, linear delivery of a N/A V8 is very appealing (TBH I'll probably be more than happy and not want to go down the FI route in the end).

sounds good , a big V8 .....with a kick in the ass 100bhp nitrous shot ..just for those times you come accross the odd lambo or ferrari ........DDMF ( dosva dania mother foooker )
