Saw this system on TV and it is the most ingenious bolt-on system for domestic vehicles.

There is also a STS in Australia so who knows if they do Land Rovers.

Check out the section Turbo Systems->Universal.

Something for a rainy weekend.

Yes I was just looking at that website the other night. I spent most of the evening thinking about where I could put it and where to route an intake tube. I saw a Ford on the site that had one and I didn't like that the air filter was exposed and under the truck.

It would probably better to route it back into the engine bay or even better to a snokle.

That's a lot of tubing under a rover though.

Still Imagine the potential. Turbo and a little ECU tuning, bigger jets.Hmmm the possibilites.

I had forgotten all about this set-up. I know somebody who has it on there Mustang and they love it. I was thinking about it when I had my Lincoln Mark VIII and actually talked to the company about it, but I sold the car before putting it on. On the Lincoln they said I would gain something like 90hp well using very litttle boost and I wouldnt have had to do any other mods to the engine either.

Very interesting.

What I find interesting is that the tube going from the turbochargers to the intake don't need a intercooler because it is cooled by its length from the back to the front.

The website states however that installing a intercooler raises the efficiency up past 90%.

I think it is the most expensive but interesting way to get rid of the muffler (about $5000).

BTW, the sound is unique (it sounds like SWEET).

If the savings in gas are great, then the project should pay itself in a couple years....I've calculated that a Diesel swap (est. $8,000) would pay itlself in about 9 years.

do they come for landrover.. looks like good stuff. how much is it?

TN-LR3 · 10-09-2006, 08:45 AM

if you probally did any sort of wheeling you'd probally mess up the turbo, it sits so low and a rock or maybe deep water or mud could really mess the thing up, even if you did relocate the air filter to a snorkel. just my .02

AZROVER · 10-09-2006, 07:02 PM

This got me thinking also, then I found this video. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...19&q=sts+turbo

The compression ratio and beefing up the power train. I still thnk the best option for forced induction on a rover is a super charger. Theres a guy on CarDomain with a Rimmer Supercharger in his disco, looks like that would be the best bet when you consider lag and induction placement issues with the remote turbo. Still a cool idea for any other car

niice video.
