An Aussie KV6 220S owner needs help
 
A desperate local owner (Australian) has a Rover 75 2.5 KV6 220S.

His car was one of the KV6 cars developed by Sprintex Australia. Sprintex Australia have moved on and no longer support their conversion. Their “upgrade” included their S3 210 supercharger that boosted output to 220 bhp.

I don’t think the supercharging was a great success. One or two of these cars may have drifted back to the UK – in which case someone may know about them.

I have heard that Sprintex amended the standard ECM software that also had a secondary ECU attached to it. It sounds a bit like the Mitsubishi Magna supercharged 6 cylinder that had a piggy-back attachment affixed to the Magna’s ECM.

His car is presently languishing on his lawn – unable to start. My only suggestion is to remove the supercharging gear from his car and install a virginised KV6 ECM.

He would welcome suggestions, as he is anxious to get his car back on the road.

Why not contact the company and ask them, or even Genpk who lives in Perth and has been in touch with them. https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=278270

He contacted Sprintex direct.
The company told him that they no longer supported that item, wished him well but was not able to give any solutions nor contacts.

Before they go any further does the immobilised icon display on the ipk? Try hooking up T4 and in security or engine management and not if mobilised or not.

I don't know if Bruce has seen the car in question Gary, but he does own a T4 and knows a reasonable amount about transponder programming too ;)

Having said that I did synchronise an EMS2000 EWS set sent to me recently........didn't make much difference in the end as the car had a snapped front belt :getmecoat:

Brian :D

Thank you Brian and Gary for your response.
I have not seen the car - a distance away. I shall phone him.
