The Italian company with production and engineering assets throughout the world is determined to change that. On the test track the change is gratifying, but onroad the extra power transforms the Rover into a confident companion that merges and moves with ease. If any vehicle could benefit from a supercharger, it would be the Range Rover. But until then, a supercharger may just be the Range Rover's best friend. Still, when it comes to truck tires, Pirelli is rarely the first name that springs to mind.
Although we didn't have a chance to drive the supercharged Range Rover off-road, there's no reason to think that performance has been compromised. For V-10 smoothness, 72 degrees is the optimum angle between cylinder banks, but both the Ford and V-10s are stuck with their V-8 ancestors' 90-degree V angles. The V-10 pushed our 15-passenger Club Wagon tester to an impressive 9. Now that owns Rover, the company should undergo an interesting metamorphosis as that German firm's high technology filters in. That 0-60 time leaves the Rimmer Range Rover in a virtual dead heat with the V-8-powered Mercury Mountaineer and.

It has an iron block, aluminum heads, chain-driven camshafts, two valves per cylinder, sequential multiport fuel injection, and new, lighter, graphite-coated aluminum pistons.
But 72-degree firings in a 90-degree engine demand a counter-rotating balance shaft; Ford's, located parallel to the left cylinder bank's camshaft, acts with an overbalanced crankshaft to quell vibrations. The new powerplants are shared with the F-150 pickup; the 4. Dodge's V-10 employs an odd firing sequence: a power stroke after 54 degrees of crank rotation, then after 90 degrees, then 54. The other components of the Rimmer kit are nicely done and some appear even more substantial than the Rover's original pieces. SourceRimmer Engineering Inc940 Motor City DrDept. And what's more British sounding than a Roots supercharger, anyhow? A structural ladder bolted to the main bearing caps stiffens the longer block. The slight supercharger whine is a minor distraction from otherwise flawless performance.
The '97 Econoline is lightly restyled but substantially reworked, with new powertrains, revised interiors with dual airbags on people-haulers , and upgraded four-wheel or rear-wheel anti-lock brakes. . Available from dealers in 14 sizes for 15-, 16-, and 16. Rimmer uses a 62-cubic-inch version of this usually quiet blower, which is sealed for life, has a built-in bypass system that cuts boost off when it isn't needed, and should last about 100,000 miles. What they aren't is quick. Unless you make your living hustling a full-size cargo van, or spend summers trailering 10,000 pounds of toys behind a mobile house, you probably won't toe the throttle of 's first V-10.
The V-10, essentially the 5. But the big story is the V-10, which isn't available in the F-150 but will appear later in the upcoming F-350. With five pounds of boost available at as low as 1500 rpm, the supercharging system was optimized for low-end responsiveness-and that's just what it delivers. During long freeway journeys back and forth between Utah's Zion National Park and Las Vegas, the Scorpions were quiet and responsive. .
