I have been looking at the supercharged route which is going to cost around 5k giving me about 350bhp and 357ft/lbs in my 450 chimaera. Wanting to stay with all that is TVR so a 4.5 AJP seems like a good road to go down with less weight more bhp than sc rv8 not sure on the torque figure.What can i buy a good 4.5 ajp for and what is my 4.5 RV8 with 30000miles ecu tornado chip carbon trumpets large air flow meter going to sell for

go for it, I`m shortly to be doing the same with my Griff.
have a chat with AJPGriff, mike, and Jester7 on here, both have already done this conversion on their griffiths, if I hadn`t had a beer with mike at this years growl I`d probably still be happy with my 500 RV8!!hehe

I would estimate an AJP engine to cost £3k upwards, depending on what comes with it, loom, ecu, starter motor ect,and as for your rover lump, if its a 500 then upwards of £3k or more?
