What a Land Rover SVR/SV Performance Engine Rebuild Involves
A performance engine rebuild for SVR or SV models is more than a standard engine overhaul. These are high-output engines with specific components, calibrations and tolerances that require specialist knowledge and precise procedures.
Performance engine families we rebuild:
- AJ133 5.0L Supercharged V8 - Fitted to Range Rover Sport SVR, Range Rover SVAutobiography, Velar SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition
- BMW S68 4.4L Twin-Turbo V8 - Fitted to Defender Octa
- Ingenium AJ300P 6-Cylinder Petrol - Fitted to performance variants of modern models
Each performance engine rebuild starts with a full strip-down and inspection. We machine components to performance tolerances, replace all wear items with OEM or SVR-specific components, and reassemble to factory specification. The process ends with a high-load road test to validate performance and durability.
Specialist requirements for each engine family:
- AJ133 supercharged V8: Requires supercharger rebuild - bearings, oil, sealing components and coupler all replaced as part of the service.
- BMW S68 (Defender Octa): Requires BMW-specific tooling and diagnostic equipment - hot-vee twin-turbo configuration adds complexity.
- Ingenium AJ300P: Performance-spec components and precise calibration matching for modern models.
Our rebuilds follow OEM specification for each specific performance variant, including correct ECU calibration and mapping.

Frequently Asked Questions - Performance Engine Rebuilds
What's the difference between a standard and a performance engine rebuild?+
A performance engine rebuild uses OEM specification components for the specific SVR or SV variant. This includes SVR-specific pistons, rings, bearings and gaskets - not standard-spec parts. The calibration and mapping are also matched to the performance variant. For AJ133 engines, the supercharger is fully rebuilt with new bearings, oil, seals and coupler.
Do you rebuild the BMW S68 engine in the Defender Octa?+
Yes. We rebuild the BMW S68 twin-turbo V8 fitted to the Defender Octa. This requires BMW-specific tooling and diagnostic equipment due to the hot-vee configuration. All components are replaced to OEM specification.
How long does a performance engine rebuild take?+
A performance engine rebuild typically takes 3-5 working days from arrival at our workshop. This includes strip-down, machining, reassembly, calibration and high-load road testing. Complex jobs (AJ133 with supercharger rebuild or S68 hot-vee) may take longer depending on component availability.
Do you rebuild the supercharger as part of an AJ133 rebuild?+
Yes. As standard, we replace supercharger bearings, oil, sealing components and the coupler. This is included in the rebuild price - not an optional extra.
What warranty comes with a performance engine rebuild?+
Every rebuild comes with our standard 12-month unlimited mileage warranty, covering parts and labour for the rebuilt engine.
Can you rebuild a performance engine that's been badly damaged?+
We assess each engine on a case-by-case basis. A full strip-down inspection determines whether the block, crank or cylinder head are salvageable. If the damage is too extensive, we can advise on replacement options instead.
