How to Navigate this Website and Webshop

Customers who using this site range from those saying "What's Megasquirt ?", have an absolute raft of questions queries, and maybe misunderstandings, others will in some cases know far more than us, & will know exactly what they want.

If you are one of the former - To simplify things 1st off - We ONLY involve ourselves in the Rover V8 engine range.

Yes, apparently other engines do exist - but we are honesty just not interested in any others, We specialise in Rover V8s... and that’s it !.

If you know what you want, you'll soon find it in the various Menu 'Tabs' to your left - if your more the 'Enthusiastic Beginner' then read on.

The site has been designed in a format that breaks down what you might be looking for to 'Megasquirt' or maintain your Rover V8.

If you are looking for a complete MS1X or MS2X or MS3X Mini Pro Kit to completely convert and transform your engine from the 'Utter Joys' of the OEM EFI systems Nightmare, there are tabs for all 3 Kits, (and an MS3X Pro if you want absolutely the top of the range - thse are only Built to order for very very exotic engines once specification has been ironed out.)

There is also the 'Which Kit To Choose' section that explains SIMPLY the differences between MS1X & MS2X MS3X Kits to help you choose which Kit is right for you.

In the 'Complete Kits' Sections - The Section selected further breaks down into Full Kits for the various Rover V8 engine variants.
This is because our Kits are very 'Engine Specific', meaning each kit has parts which have been designed for that specific V8 Model.

All the brackets and parts making up the various kits are designed for each engine type, ....you would be surprised how the Engine types vary dramatically between V8 models !.

Then there are sections listing 'Parts' for each of the Engine types, and 'Optional Extras' & 'Spares' and the Tabs are by the engine type. buy as much or a little as you wish.

One popular feature of Megasquirt V8 Kits is we have tried to make sure where we can there are 'Shared' 'Parts' and components between the various engine versions, meaning if in the future you convert from say a '3.9 V Belt' to say a '4.0 THOR' engine, a HUGE proportion of our Kits can be re-used as opposed to the 'Sorry mate - you'll need a complete new kit. !

Because we only bother with Rover V8s, and my own Land Rover 90 has a rather 'Mad' Triple Plenum John Eales Built 5.2 Full Race V8 (on Megasquirt naturally) we do have a knowledge that comes from spending
years twiddling with these Engines, there definitely is something about them - and if you get rid of the often horrendous 14CUX & GEMS systems, they are when tweaked and tuned just a joy to turn the key for a trip out

When we started as I was heavily into Off Road Motor Sport (and V8s !) we did tend to be more Land Rover Bias, but as the years have gone by more and more of our Kits are going to TVR , Classics Cars, like TR8 and SDI V8s or upgrading engines in custom cars and swapping into Land Rovers etc etc - basically now we get all sorts !

Read the website, make a list of any questions queries or concerns you may have and then ring or send an Email ....
Advice is free, and its important you are able to both understand what you are buying, why you are buying it - and therefore be certain that its exactly what you want !

Please do ask, sadly we often gets new customers where they have been either poorly advised, or maybe not advised at all and really have not got what it right for them.
Advice is free - and we will try and answer any doubts you have and honesty give you our advice to help you make sure you do not make a seriously expensibve mistake.

Phone Nigel on +44 787 908 2490, or Email megasquirt.v8@gmail.com, either way we will come back to you, just sometimes we can just be very busy !

Our Webshop is always as up to date as we can have it, if we are showing stock, then we most likely have it.......
....if we are showing 'Out of Stock' we may have just not been able to update the Web Shop - So to be sure just Ring and Ask !

The webshop is therefore split between :

FULL KITS for all 4 of our systems for all the Various Rover V8 Derivatives - (We can even customise a kit is you have a 'bitsa' engine ! - Cough..Like Mine !!!)
And then there are the individual 'Engine type Tabs' for each of the various engine derivatives where everything is listed seperately, have whatever you fancy !.

Lastly there is a very very useful and unusual 'Technical Forum' www.lr4x4.com - where there is a 'Megasquirt' dedicated forum purely based around Rover V8s,
Many members there are experts in areas of V8s too - such as 'Turbo Charging' or 'Supercharging' a Megasquirted V8, or LPG Timing Maps etc, well worth signing up to, and its free, & very useful too, and 100% unbiased.
