BUILDING A BMW POWERED DEFENDER - PART 4

[@michaelbradley9146]

What an amazing build, being the owner of this fantastic vehicle and seeing all the hard professional work which Sam and his team have put in, cannot recommend highly enough, i am sure i will be back for some more upgrades. Thanks guys :). Puts a smile on my face every time i get in and start her up :)

[@juicemotors]

Thank you for the feedback Michael! 💛

[@sptine5946]

@@juicemotors Hi man, hope you are well🌹 I have a 1997 defender, can i fit a new range rover (for example evoque) on it? Is it possible? Thanks🙏🏻

[@mabsgear0025]

That roar alone is worth the pain !Amazing job guys .I was so stressed out when it didn't start .

[@mmullerkim7731]

You guys deserve a glass of bells. The roar is just terrific..........

[@alastairsutherland9341]

Gareth re-mapped my TD5 15p 110 a year ago and it still makes me smile every time I drive it, Yeehah! 👍😆

[@mikerenshaw7867]

WOAH!!!! Lovvve how still the engine idles and sounds a little more rounded with that crackle at high revs! I got such a buzz watching this! Mega result, thanks guys! :)

[@mustolourien5823]

One of the cleanest swap ever. So close to a assembly line product.

[@Apbt-rv7zw]

Yeah do a Rangie Classic!!! Awesome work guys.

[@Jason-cl8hk]

LOF customer service sets the benchmark. I’m saving for their brake kit. 👍

[@stephenlyttleton9032]

Excellent work! Would have liked to see more of the problem diagnosis and fixing. I find learning is entertaining. Cheers.

[@eltonkingsley5617]

A little surprised by the sound the BMW lump, but really happy how the team persevered with the build. Probably the best engine work you have done on the channel. Next up should be a BMW twin scroll six pot petrol conversion.

[@juicemotors]

Thanks Elton!

[@arnaudnilwik]

a new model is born.... the Landrover widow maker? Fantastic job!

[@benhealy7155]

Do it (classic with the td6 (m57) engine). This is awesome, loved that engine in the L322- awesome job guys

[@el-drachoontour3071]

Wow, that was a major project with a fabulously great result. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work. Looking foward to more great projects on this channel.

[@mwheatley2365]

RRC conversion with an auto box would definitely be of interest..!!

[@anthonypeachey21]

Range rover classic is a must. Bring it up to date!! Modern whip!!!

[@飛魚K]

每一集我看的好認真！雖然台灣defender 少、但這款車太喜歡了！

[@richardclark6124]

Wow is all I can say Sam, Well done for pulling that off, I want that engine in my defender! 👍

[@Knightliner69]

You did a hell of a job to get this beast running! Very well done guys. Love basically all you did in this conversion except the exhaust system. Like you said it’s just to loud and making the vehicle scream like a crazy race car. Sound is not only volume. I would connect a conversion of a Defender like this with a deep growling, more calm sound underlining it’s power and not this screaming sound which disqualify the car to use it as a daily driver in my opinion. 😎👍

[@Defender-Guy]

Sweet build- well worth the headaches! My ‘85 Ninety V8 SW will be pushing out 300 BHP when it’s done. Looking forward to it!

[@PeakDistrict_4x4]

Wow! Mic drop. Keep it up Sam and Leon, smashing it lads ❤️

[@carguyuk7525]

At last a landrover with go! Sounds brilliant. Great build.

[@MrCacoluna]

This thing must be a hell of fun to drive. The dream car list is renewed!

[@ThePaulHerring]

Sam, I think this be one of my favourite conversions from Juice! Love it and WANT WANT WANT it on my 110!! ❤️❤️💥💥

[@chrisarnold4709]

Brilliant and great hard work! Nice to see the shout out to Mahker as well

[@juicemotors]

Credit where it’s due! They saved the day

[@nixonbandi1419]

great Swap...I saw another video of the same engine swapped on Discovery 3 ,2.7 diesel

[@DarrLaw]

Perseverance! Nice work Sam, Leon, and crew! And those rear steps are simple, but really awesome. One of the coolest low-key things I’ve seen you guys fit on one of these.

[@stephenrichardson6105]

Since coming across this build, I’ve subscribed and been hooked Back tracked through all the videos just about. What I build that is and sounds awesome 👍 Keep up the good work, must be great doing a job that you love

[@bugsaint]

So satisfying to see the final result. Incredible work!

[@bergeracvandamme]

Absolutely superb build. Great work on getting it all sorted.

[@ChamberlainElliott]

Yes yes yes to the RRC! M57 auto is the plan for my 2 door rangie

[@andrewcollins867]

Love it .. wasnt happy with my 530D but the map you can do on these is crazy 😜 also check the lugs on the vacuum pump on end of cam .. mine broke the lugs and I had no brakes ..at speed

[@DBrata2008]

Great build. Cant wait for the RR classic convertion.

[@joncox4389]

Fantastic conversion!!! Definitely outshines my Lada, Fiat twin cam running on LPG

[@ramarover]

Brilliant, really enjoyed watching this build unfold.....sounds truly amazing, what a 90!! Cheers.

[@exileinderby51]

Loved how that turned out with the sounds and everything! Yes, do the Range Rover Classic conversion.

[@miklawson211]

Ooooh , that sound. Nice job guys

[@jodam011]

one of your reverse lights are out... great job sounds amazing!!!!

[@juicemotors]

The other ones a Fog light 😎

[@stephenbrown5844]

Juice sounds amazing

[@jezswallow9801]

OMG - Amazing! Love the whole build. Bring another one on :)

[@Sgsportbit]

You live in such a nice part of the world. It's picture perfect.

[@williamoakes664]

Awesome, as you say, perfect engine for a swap…LS swap and you’ve got a brave pill to swallow when it comes to fuel consumption . Thanks for documenting it. Suspect the best way around getting the right engine would be to buy a complete donor car in the first place….that way it’d allow you to test the engine whilst in running gear…may save some labour efforts later on.

[@markbond4460]

omg love love love this landie i need this beast in my life ... fantastic build guys i just need the lottery win now and then ill be seeing you

[@scaifefab4585]

How do the 6 speed boxes hold up to extra power 5 speeds dont last with a tuned td5 so dread to think how the bmw would kill them

[@grahamwest1079]

Perseverance paid off, great conversion one of the best engines for the Defender, any torque figuars as seems to pull well in all gears just wonder how it goes in low range in off road situations.

[@chainsawcharlie7257]

I'd love to do this conversion to my 90 puma but the wiring scares me ! Well done on a fantastic result

[@ibana8449]

Great channel guys, love the M57 conversion.

[@billywhizz98]

Well done I have every confidence in you getting it done it’s a great result

[@joncorry]

Just catching up on these videos and you should definitely do a RRC auto with this engine. Keep it quiet and refined though!

[@randl3sx125]

Man that sound brilliant don’t think Iv ever disliked anything u chaps have done 🔥🔥🔥

[@ianchambers2731]

😍😍😍😍 that thing sounds absolutely incredible!

[@platypushatstand]

Well done for getting all those little problems sorted and it’s sounds fabulous. Maybe drop the 335d into a RR Classic with the autobox and paddle shifters?

[@charlesjordan4336]

Good job lads! Really enjoyed watching this build. What an epic outcome! Tell you what I’d like to see though, instead of the m57 I’d like to see you shoe horn an m67 in one. 3.9 V8 would be a whole lot of fun 🤯

[@Robdutton91]

Getting hold of the engine would be the hardest part, they’re awesome engines though

[@johnmosley7039]

Cracking build That range rover classic i would sort chassis and floor pans and axels leave the body as patena Fit the 3.0d with auto box wiseman do all the parts from the x5

[@livingoffgridinscotland]

That’s an awesome engine in a defender

[@jimcobm3]

Great conversion, any thoughts of creating a plug and play kit to sell?

[@paulpobsanderson6219]

I fancy this conversion in my D3 one day.

[@jdgreen8295]

Love following the updates on this build. Would be a dream to own I'm sure

[@ericmwangi2188]

I've enjoyed every moment of this clip Sam. You guys have did a fantastic job- j enjoyed the trouble shooting most; having watched Project M57, I knew the fuel pump would be possible cause of the cranking problem. You however didn't specify the BMW engine you mounted- I'm assuming that it's the DM57 married to the 6speed LT gearbox right? I'm about to do the same with my 300TDI. Right after I find a buyer for my kidney 😁😁

[@andrewhoggett8148]

way cool could listen to that all day

[@martin88870]

That engine sounds a lot better than those tyres will! Great build 😍

[@mickkingston1450]

I had the E39 BMW diesel engine, and its a fantastic engine, Great job guys,⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@AnthonyWilliams-vh1ds]

Did you ever do anymore of these? Was it just the 3in bore that made it slightly too loud for your liking? 2.5 fix it?

[@wearemahker]

Super glad we could help you buddy next time we will sort you out a proper kit 👌

Hi Sam great videos of this conversion , im thinking of do this myself ! could you give me an idea of hours labour this took if you takeaway the problems that wasn't your fault

[@alhamedi66]

Amazing beautiful project clean work with passion. Can do same conversion in 1995 defender 2.5 petrol what parts required to convert. Any kit package available ready.

[@snakeeyesman]

Please do the M57 into a Disco 3, so many broken TDV6 one's, plus you haven't done any dico stuff 😃

[@simlowsb]

Great video and a great build guys!. How much would a build like this one cost include the M57 swap should I send you a defender 110SW? Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Cheers mate!

[@transitpassenger3948]

Guys, it was a tough project, all three of you are great! I am glad that you finished it and everything worked out! What is the name of the guy with the glasses? - Great kid! I hope you start taking apart Classic Range soon!

[@diegoazofeifafonseca1585]

such a sweet result, AMAZING!!!!! lovely rude engine sound GREAT JOB!!!!! I loved this mod since bmw is my other favorite brand and I like it so the combination of a land rover with a bm engine is so cool, and yeah regarding to do it with an automatic gear box go ahead with all crazy mods as possible Juice you rock!

Done an M57 conversion to an E36 318TDS compact and the wiring was a pain in the backside. But i have since read that the LR boys have sorted that issue out with bespoke stand alonw looms etc. Thinking of doing thw conversion again, to a MK5 Cortina estate

Those Terrafirma bits are very similar to Bowler stuff!

Going to do my td5 90 next year

[@khanswaren2959]

I love it I will come to you guys make one just like this performance in my defender

[@Monky4893]

Nice and clean work ! Do you think a M57 conversion is possible on a LHD Defender ? The steering box does not touch the engine?

[@juicemotors]

It’ll be easier with a LHD as you’ll have more clearance from the steering box - the AC pump is right against the steering box on a RHD!
