i think with all the loom work a s62 engine would work out a lot more costly when you add the hours of labour to the cost

Vs £6000 to add a SC... That's 60% of the cars value crazy fool!

I also wonder whether the gearbox would take it?

he said $6000 not £  "RANGEISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED"

Still a huge amount for customising a non facelift 4.4 V8.

When finished it will still be a non facelift 4.4 V8 and not a facelift 4.2 SC and it will add little or nothing to the value.

My advice would be to spend the extra an early SC.

gaz i agree but still there is a big differance between $6000 and £6000.......i also would just sell it and buy a genuine s/c

plus i think the insurance company will have a field day with that "RANGEISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED"

Plus there's the possibility of it becoming one of those fragile modified cars that you spend more time sorting niggling issues rather than enjoying driving it.

Nothing worse than having a car that you can't enjoy due to ongoing faults rather than just driving it. I had that experience with that stupid Maserati before I bought the FFRR. 2006 Mercedes CLS

But really finding it hard to fight the urge for a S/C...

No way would I spend that on supercharging - its a no brainer. S/H value will be pants. If he wants to keep the car it would be cheaper to turbocharge it - similar results and they are both exactly the same in that they use means of forced induction. One uses engine revs the other exhaust pressure to operate. The only down side can be lag with a turbo, but that can now be virtually extinguished.

you may be on to something there vogue but then again theres a lot of work that will need to go into turbo charging i.e new fabricated manifold ....may end up costing around the same "RANGEISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED"

Is the 4.4 a Jag or a BMW engine? LR fitted a supercharger to the 4.4V8 RRS with the Jaguar 4.4 and had to insert liners in the cylinders back down to give it 4.2l because they couldn't get any length of service out of the engines due to the thin casting between the cylinders. About 6 were built, one of them ended up at LRE Dunkeld but was supposed to have gone into the crusher.

One of the guys over on RRS has an MG ZT260 with the Ford Mustang 4.6ltr engine and had that supercharged, made an already rather exciting car phenomenal and a local specialist in Central Scotland does them for any car, but mainly Rovers, MGs and TVR's 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

Tim, the pre facelift 4.4's are BMW engines, the 2006 facelift are Jag engined, and yes you are 100% right re the liners 4.4 down to 4.2 on the jag supercharged

They also did a 4.4 Jag engine just to confuse matters. The AJ-V8 which was the 4.4 petrol option on the facelift/touch screen cars between 2005/6 to 2009  2006 Mercedes CLS
