We have been specialists in the Rover V8 field for over 30 years.
We have built and improved thousands upon thousands of vehicles, from Range Rovers to kit cars and even to classic Bentleys and Rolls Royce. If it's a Rover V8, a classic car or even something just weird and wonderful, we love it
We also specialise in LPG conversions, as well as developing many one off exhaust systems for performance vehicles and off roaders.
We use this channel to show you some of the things we like to get up to here in Norwich.
Unfortunately we don't get time to video every vehicle we work on or build but we do our best.
We hope you enjoy our videos and please feel free to comment.

RPi Engineering Rebuilt 4.6 Twin Plenum Hotwire Rover V8
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.Год назад
Another unique engine hits our test bed, this time it's a 4.6 with Hotwire injection but with the twin throttle intake plenum originally used on the Flapper-fuelled SD1 Vitesse twin plenum. This means the customer can have the best of both worlds by keeping an original look under the bonnet of their SD1 whilst being fuelled by the much more reliable Hotwire injection system.

Nicknamed "The Red Devil", this SD1 arrived at RPi with the wrong engine under the bonnet - all its cylinders were lined up in a row and two of them were missing completely . Thankfully we had the cure, a V8 was soon housed in the engine bay and at last all was well.

20 years since his passing I miss our Fred Rip Fred 💙
I had one with an ls 1 5.7 250 bhp 300 ft lbs loved it .thinking of looking for anothe Holland and Holland and having another one built.....
Hi ..Can this V8 engine and gearbox be fitted to a MGB 1966 ?
I've been watching lots of American V8 performance videos recently. I would say virtually none of them used the Edelbrock carb if they were looking for performance, all using Holley. Your comments would be of interest.
This is a lovely job, are you still taking these on? The 200tdi in my bobtailed Discovery is worn out and was frankly underpowered to begin with, I would very much like a good (if not completely rebuilt) 4.0 Thor V8 to be fitted with a 4-speed automatic and a standalone Tornado-chipped ECU like you showed here. The Disco is no show truck so doesn't fit with some of the shiny rebuilds. Is it worth me emailing or calling to discuss?
Which auto box is in this one lads? Discovery 1 auto? Cheers
Weber? Edelbrock
So, using 20W-50, I can assume your engine oil runs above 220 degrees most of the time or your bearing clearances are quite excessive?
Shortly after retiring, I bought a factory built 1975 rubber bumpered MGB GT V8 in 2002.Drove on MG Owners tour in Norway in 2006.Had engine and rear axle reconditioned in 2012. Ventured to Ventnor etc on Isle of Wight, UK 2015. Toured around Pyrenees in Spain and France in 2016. MG Owners Club trip to Barcelona in 2017. Used it as fun car and transport to golf club weekly for 10 years too.Sold it in April 2022. Because of that car, I saw places I would never would have visited otherwise. Now in my 80s with many special memories.
How can I order this kit ?
Humm… only real mistake is replacing the silent chain cam drive with a roller chain. Silent chains are far more durable, rugged, lower friction, and accurate in timing than the roller chain. And, particularly for a performance application decrease the shock loads of vibrations transferred to the cam drive and are stronger in general. Now if you have increased the resistance of driving the cam by increasing friction of the lifters on the cam by increased valve spring pressure, cam profile or rocker ratio generated acceleration loads resulting in turning friction … exactly what have you gained with a roller chain over a heavier duty silent chain? And, remember shock loads increase by vibration, speed, and shocks such as firing pulse intensity. Of course we often are not thinking engineering in hot rodding an engine, rather how much money can be wasted, and spending too much time on pornography… in the context of James Joyce’s definition “anything that creates desire without fulfillment.” Gears forget them they may not improve things either.

These engines have a flat plane cams. You can't use high spec modern oil. Must have zinc.
Some photo's I've never seen of the great man. Thank u... 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Just finished my LT77 rebuild was about finish my 3.9, this video helped me make a few decisions at that point I needed too. Cheers!
Sadly the rover was scraped
What was the best year for casing a 4.6
Merci pour votre explication , maintenant je saurais faire 👍
Can I do it with the normal discovery suspension cause I crashed one and it has no windows neither dors but it still works fine thou... I can get a Ford Ka for cheap and assemble then both cause I actually need that kind of vehicle for my farm ❤
background music...🤮🤮🤮
Great job but I've yet to see a P5 with 9ts wipers correctly adjusted - why? Such a simple fix!
Ditch the "Rover" engine and use a 340/350 Buick with alloy aftermarket heads instead, T/A Performance makes a lot of performance parts for these engines (taking over where Kenne Bell left) The 350 are capable of making a lot of power with a very slight weight increase....
Great except the guy in the backseat has to do all the shifting!
Very slick, well done!

About to do this fix on mine. Thanks for the great vid.
Amazing Range Rover, this is my school project! ruclips.net/video/BdGRau7VL4k/видео.html
You guy's must be the best Globally, I would point any and all V8B's owners to you guy's!. Have you ever done a Scimitar??
Very impressive - and what a superb looker too - I wish I had one!
Are they realiable? Do they still have anything to do with the old Chevy/Buick engine?
Is it a reliable engine? Does it still have anything to do with any Chevy/Buick engine?
The man had gone mad
Hearing a Ford Ka that sounds like a truck is hilarious.
Amazing sound in or outside the car and fabulous scenery too! Thanks for this, well done Folks, love it and very, very lucky customer!
Can I shoehorn one of these engines in my series 3 109? Been told it may fit with some slight bulkhead modification?
Can you please tell me what wires i need to connect to make the relay for the fuel pump
Trying to convert my 300 tdi 110 to 3.9 V8i any recommendations for modification
It would have been far cheaper to fit a 302W. Basil Green did it in South Africa 50 years ago. 4.6 Rover? Not much of an engine even with the hot up bits
It's hard to see but how small are the exterior dimensions of this V8 engine.
So where’s the dyno video? What did it make?
Hi I have the cut harness and would like to know what wires to hook 12v positive and ground to in order to light up the screen / display
Just not the right sound for a Healey… sorry. My ‘59 roadster was bored out, balanced, compression increased, hotter cam, tri-webers, with ported intake and headers, oversized exhaust with an original style muffler but with Ansa tips. BJ8 center shift trans, custom titanium rear links. Much greater scary bhp and Sounded like a blend between Healey and Ferrari…. Simply Awesome. Extremely quick!
what hp?
