Thread: Aftermarket Supercharger for an HSE

On the prowl for a supercharger for my 2011 RR HSE. Bought it from a friend that has to many vehicles (two escalades, cayenne GTS, s65, 745i, Bentley GT), gave it to me for ridiculously cheap, and I want to charge it up.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I can answer this: there isn't an aftermarket supercharger kit (and won't be). If I were you, I'd see if Underground Racing would be willing to build a twin turbo kit. If you got it for ridiculously cheap, what's another $30k?

I didn't expect to hear that.. Is it impossible to install a SC on an HSE? Even the stock SC the RR has from the factory?

To be honest, I've never heard of anyone retrofitting the RR supercharger. There's almost no chance Land Rover would sell you the parts, so you'd have to find a salvaged engine - all in all, it'd be a costly endeavor. Seriously though, contact Underground Racing. If they did a high horsepower turbo kit, I'd sell my Supercharged in a heartbeat and buy an HSE to turbocharge.

Since 05, when Range Rover switched from BMW to Jaguar engines this question has been asked frequently and the answer is no! From what I've read and heard there are some modification that need to be done to the engine of the HSE in order to Supercharge it! Thus being the cost would be much financially unwise to do such thing. If you want more power, sell it and get a Supercharged one! The only solution.

I would if this whip wasn't as dope as it is.. I'll snag the SC'd '13 when it drops!

Cost cut! When Ford owned LR & Jaguar they used the same engines that were used in the XJ's & the XK's. Plus, among LR enthusiasts, starting with 07MY LR's are considered quite reliable.

Nice RR..lets see more pics!!
