I’ve got a 2021 SVR but I had a 2012 LR4 and I loved it. I had this thought and I’m so happy someone did it. Would just make sure to update the coolant pipes that like to let go. Love this swap!!
In some markets (including the US), the LR4 (called the Discovery 4 outside the US) comes with that engine, but without the supercharger, as a factory/OEM option.
From SA, we did the same swap aproximately 7 yeras ago, we just took everything from a RR sport and built into a D4, including all the special features in the sport, adaptive cruise control adaptive suspension etc. It became a RRsport with D4 body. Has been an absolute pleasure. Best towing vehicle I have ever owned, tows up to 5 metric tons comfortably, only complains when the adaptive cruise control has to break when doing 80 mph and coming up to a 50 MPH vehicle. Screams 'DRIVER INTERVENTION REQUIRED!'(visually).
That engine works for sure because in South Africa, maybe UK too you could buy the pre face lift LR4 or as we know it the Discovery 4 with the 5.0 V8 NA. Same engine that was in the Range Rover’s
Awesome. I have done a couple of stuff similar. Am in Europe. I have a discovery 4 2014 3.0sdv6 with a sdv8 swap 4.4 off a l322 2012 twin turbo v8 diesel. Pretty torquey and I have a landrover shop in Africa that has a discovery 3 2.7D 2008😮 rigged up with a 3.6tdv8 off a l320 2008 sports. Both pretty lethal.
My discovery 4 is a 8 speed and the discovery 3 is a 6 speed stock off the l320 with l320 brake caliper and disc. Exhaust off the l320 but extended with 9 inches pipe. Am on a lr4 6x6 pickup with tesla model 3 dual motor stuff.
Amazing, completely crazy lr4 and I love it)) Probably it needs acive swaybars from 1 gen RR sport to be more fun onroad. Both cars have pretty much the same platform (frame) so it should fit
I love the concept it’s real but as an owner of a D4 5.0 litre V8 with an exhaust modification the car is superb just hold your foot to the floor and drive! Yes a supercharger on top would be fantastic but really I will lose my license anyway! Just like my Harley 114 fantastic if you hold the throttle to the stop! Bolt on more bits and get more! Fantastic But really I don’t need to! Both items came from the factory with heaps of power! I love what this video shows ❤
2012 Range Rover is the year they had problems with the timing chain. Were all the problems solved with the chain? What is the service interval of the timing chain replacement? How big a job is it?
Super cool!!!!!! impressed. In order to apply to 2010-2013 LR4 5.0 V8, do I need to install additional superchargers after the mission change (ZF6 -> ZF8)?
Always wondered if it’s a big chore to chuck the RR supercharger onto a v8 LR4. Should be easy enough in theory, they’ve both got the same engine. 🤷♂️
The v6sc has serious coolant overheating issues. I recommend most people with the v6sc should do the v8 sc swap. G63 has no chance. The jeep, the x6m , the cayenne turbos would've big headache.
@Sir Drifto, would you be able to obtain answer if v8 5.0 NA to v8 5.0 SC - is it engine replacement or just SC add-on on top of existing engine? In other words, does it require a purchase of full v8 5.0 SC or just additional parts need to be added/replaced on currently running fine v8 5.0 naturally aspirated? (it is same engine).
30mpg on a LR 5.0 SC at 695hp.. usually sc/turbo motors get their power from pushing thro more fuel/air. My 4cyl GTI gets terrible mileage on the track.
pretty small. You can't fit larger tires on this platform w/o a fair bit of trimming. I'd guess those are 265/60-19. I run a 34" tire on my LR3 but it's really not ideal. Some people have managed to fit a 35, but despite what you may hear it's a bad idea. You cannot fit that without significant rubbing issues but more than that you just loose the gearing because there are no options for better ratios. Again, you'll hear people argue more power makes up for that but clearly they've never actually wheeled or they would know power is for show, gears are for go.
How can you call that a "truck"? Dont get me wrong, i fricken LOVE it! Its awesome! But that is NOT a truck. You could call it an suv or a 4wd or a wagon etc but surely a "truck" needs to have a tray or a bed?
Bad engine choice, my buddy had a RR with that engine. It blew two on them in 10K before they refunded him the purchase price under 🍋 laws. Shitbox engines, LS it.
Having an engine light on just makes the car feel standard. 😂
Truthfully, that car is awesome. Love it.
This is AWESOME! His shop has a really good reputation too
@@sarahdell4042 matt and his shop is top notch
Garages in Europe, take notes. Lots of Disco4's with snapped TSV6's and lots of owners afraid of probability that it happens to them.
Yes but Europe market didn’t get the 5.0 litre V8
The v6sc has bad over heating issues. Bad engines. Do a v8 sc swap.
This is the British version of the G that they never made. I love it. Building the unthinkable is the American way.
WOW!!! Thanks for the video. This LR4 seems badass! Now I want it for mine.

This is what I wanted when I bought my 2011 LR4 with the 5.0 V8! Would a swap like that be available for a 2011?
I don't see why not. It's the same body.
That engine works for sure because in South Africa, maybe UK too you could buy the pre face lift LR4 or as we know it the Discovery 4 with the 5.0 V8 NA. Same engine that was in the Range Rover’s
What's a swap like this set you back?
"..everything in your truck stays working." Surely not a genuine Land Rover then!
Now this is a cool idea. 🇿🇦🔥🔥🔥🔥
always loved the starter motor of the 5.0L, wish they gave the LR4 or discovery 4 petrol engines here in the UK
Nice. I can see why this would be fairly straightforward as the Range Rover sport supercharged was using a LR 3,4 platform.
Awesome. I have done a couple of stuff similar. Am in Europe. I have a discovery 4 2014 3.0sdv6 with a sdv8 swap 4.4 off a l322 2012 twin turbo v8 diesel.

Thats fuckin rad! I want to supercharge my LR4!
My stock lr4 5.0 is no slouch at 375hp. I find it plenty.

Good point!
The most powerful tune I’ve seen for the AJ133 V8 is 640 hp. That includes top and bottom new pulleys. Not sure how they got another 60 hp out of it.
Sure didn't seem to accelerate like anywhere near 700HP unless it was only half throttle, yes i know it's heavy but not 700HP acceleration.
Definitely sleeper with those SDV6 Diesel badges still on

It was more a problem with the plastic chain guides, than the chain itself.
They were changed to metal and I heard that sorted the issue.
I love how he smashed in front of the G Wagon 😂

amazing build ! Would it work on a D3 ?
It should
Nice job

Amazing
Can this swap be done on my 2008 LR3?
physically? of course. Affordably? Smog-legally? Those are different questions.....
You might have to use the 4.2 from the sport sc. The 5.0 would be a tricky wiring challenge.
4.2L sc shouldn't be a problem with some mods like wiring and gauges.
Super sexy! What would you estimate the cost would be for this swap? I have a 2013 LR4 with a rod knock that I'd hate to just put to pasture.
@@RandyFarnes definitely save it! Call Matt at Roadide works.
Ok this is sickkkk
@@K2489S they do amazing work down there
Not the only SC V8 LR4. Built one in 2016
What were the specs and what all did you do?
Pics and video or it didn’t happen. Not like this with full integration.
what would the cost of this v8 conversion be with a supplied 2016 LR4 donor (SCV6)
The v6sc has serious coolant overheating issues. I recommend most people with the v6sc should do the v8 sc swap. G63 has no chance. The jeep, the x6m , the cayenne turbos would've big headache.
Do you guys know anybody that's doing these in the Midwest? Would love to have one.

30mpg on a LR 5.0 SC at 695hp.. usually sc/turbo motors get their power from pushing thro more fuel/air. My 4cyl GTI gets terrible mileage on the track.
Does it have long tubes? Or stock exhaust manifolds?
There must be more to this, no way is just a tune getting you from 510bhp to 700bhp! There has got to be lots more serious modifications....
Changing the pulley on the supercharger I and a light tune adds 100 hp easily
Yep the svr is pumping 575 at factory with out a tune.
GD FROM JAMAICA QUESTION HOW IS THE BREAKING SYSTEM DID U PUTTHEM BREMBO OR REGULAR CALIPERS

The 8sp ZF is a way better transmission than the erlier 6sp.
Ohhh take my money and convert mine

How much?
Take my money!!!!!!
Nothing wring wirh the engines unless your buddy beat and beat it. If your planing on racing it modify it so it would have you problems.
Could you do this on a 2010 LR4?
Yes you sure can
@@SirDrifto and just as a bonus, are you guys able to fit the 8 speed to or the factory rear locker to a 2010 LR4?
How can you call that a "truck"?

A lot of people call any off-road vehicle that's body on frame a "truck". A Ford maverick is a pickup but its not a "truck"😂
Land Rover LR4: The Ultimate Leaker ~ just an awful vehicle to own.
Sounds like crap😂
