Nice job looking well. Where did you get the kit from?
I wish I was putting a 6bt in mine but think it will be a 200tdi for now. I thought a website or shop for was selling the adapter kit. I might be looking for that kit in the future. What kinda money would a conversion cost roughly speaking? If you don't mind me asking..
What sort of power do these things kick out?
Is it really worth it compared to a TDi200/300?

It depends on the vehicle that the engine was destined for....
160-215 bhp as standard but very easily capable of 250bhp with very minor mods like the ones you would do to 300TDi etc without affecting it's longevity much
then there is
400-440 lb/ft of torque! Again with the above minor fueling mods 500+
All this whilst still getting 25-30 mpg
Only real issue is that they weigh 500Kg and will probably put the front of the car over weight!
I want one though
Yeah, what he says anorl I missed some of that.
Can't wait for mine to be done
I'm really tempted..........
I have a 300TDi disco and a galvanised 110 chassis plus a few other bits and pieces and was going to get a galvanised bulkhead then strip the 300TDi disco to build up the chassis to a running chassis then buy a 110 that has rusty chassis and bulkhead to finish the project BUT the more I see of this the more I want to sell the 300TDi engine and buy a 6BT. Then build the same vehicle..... I could move as much as possible to the back to even out the weight...........
Just a fuel pin for under a £100 and its 250bhp
Should be fun. Really can't wait.
Just do it
A few of us nutters where talking about this the other day and engine prices are on the up!
It's never a good thing when people on ebay are putting in their listing 'Fits landrover defender'
So the breakers are onto it and now is the time to buy if you're going to do it.
Don't get me wrong the prices will go up but will have to come down when no one buys them, it's just a matter of how long the process takes.
So in short, buy what you can now
You're all mad, utter bonkers lol. I genuinely wouldn't know where to start.
To be truthful, I'd rather just buy the truck. Lol
So would I but paying someone else to do the work I want would cost me an absolute fortune and I'd rather spend the money on other things. Once I've got the new building sorted it'll be great to work in the warm and dry and be able to leave jobs partly finished.

haha, today, while out in 60mph winds and driving rain, trying to sort out the gear selector, i didn start to wish id never started this project, but then i started it up and that put a smile on my face
It's also about finding a good one with all the necessary attachments and ancillaries.
