Road Test Fail × 4BT Cummins Discovery #44 [Land Rover Build]

Making preparations for the first road test drive: Painting fabricated parts, wiring gauges + brake lights, modifying shifter, & setting up warnings so I don't somehow space out while a the fuel stations.
~ PART#44 in a project dubbed "Nanuuq" to swap out my lifted Land Rover Discovery 2's blown 4.0L V8 & boring ZF auto for a Cummins 4BT 3.9L turbo (Holset Super HX30W) diesel 4-cylinder engine (Bosch P7100 pump) with an NV4500 5-speed manual transmission. The AWD 4x4 will remain with the LT230 transfer case divorced behind it all, & plenty of Dodge 6BT parts too. Another big phase of my custom DIY build to create a do-just-about-anything off-road / overland rig. Did I mention it's a camper too?

[@Tinker1837]

Don't fret! Wasn't about to let a speed-bump like this stop the progress, & it's already moving again 👍 I'll have the details on the oddball thing that went wrong in the next video. And shout out to Josiah for the minty "Land Rummins" emblem plate, not just a cool laser engraved metal plate but easily the best name for the swap I've heard yet!

[@PavelowGunner1122]

It looks perfect on your build! Like I said below, I have another batch of badges (we need these drinking badges!) soon. We're at the point of fitting the engine now...building the engine mounts from scratch to go around the starter and vacuum/power steering pump combo

[@PavelowGunner1122]

*stinking badges... Damn autocorrect strikes again

Glad to hear it, because we need more 4BT Disco's too 😎

Mannn... every video you drop is just making me realizing more and more that I’m gonna have to pay you guys much more than top dollar if I ever find a Cummins because A blind man could even tell how much work you’ve put into this build! I’m now officially starting a my discovery mod savings account 😂 hopefully able to link up before the end of the year !

[@Tinker1837]

Glad you like & yeah it's been a bonkers amount of work for sure! Would be so cool to see more diesel swapped Disco's, & it just keeps more of them on the road & out of the junkyards.

[@Reaper4367]

YeSssssssssssssssssssss!... Noooooooooooooooo! lol. Got so excited bro!... Still excited, high expectations mate. Get those genius pixies workin on it. Cheers for sharing!

Dude, the whole thing is awesome! That Land Rummins badge is the icing on the cake 😆. I'll have another batch ready soon. They are a fraction larger this go round

[@Tinker1837]

Thanks! That badge is such a cool + sneaky nod to the old school.

[@DashnCars]

Sick! Glad the drive went well for the most part, diesel'ing is scary! Glad the governor shut it down from running away.

[@Tinker1837]

Sure can be! I dodged a bullet, but learned a bunch about how that injection pump works now haha 😆

[@cotyluckett]

Still wishing I had your fabricating skills and your knowledge bro. Beautiful piece of equipment and very very professionally done. I’m sure/ and I hope it was a simple fix. Waiting to see more.

[@Tinker1837]

It's nearly all self taught so I'm sure you could pick it up faster than you think! Thanks & it seemed complex to me, but in the end I learned a bunch more about how my injection pump works :D

[@cotyluckett]

I could pick it up, but not with the neatness and professionalism that you portray.

[@rodneycassidy6037]

Man it's looking so good. Looks like a blast to drive too.

It wouldn't be a proper Test without problem. I hope it's nothing massive. Great job as always

Right! I would be more worried if there were NOT any speedbumps along the way.

[@3739blog]

Hello man, nice content as usual. This quarantine season got me tinkering my Trooper too, and spotted stuff that you use to build my workplace. I'm done repainting my bumpers, cleaned my turbo, done an oil change. Next thing to do, remove and repaint front bumpers, and fabricate a full roof rack. Thanks for the ideas and tips. !!!

[@Tinker1837]

Thanks! It's a great time to hammer on the projects, & sounds like you are really getting after it! Happy to share them :)

[@Wongigigi]

It’s never a good time when there is a problem inside the governor housing 😅

[@Tinker1837]

Lots of spinny things that don't play nice with each other when something breaks!

[@MrAcuta73]

I live in Oregon, I think the only State left that we aren't allowed to pump our own gas/fuel...I LOL'd and nodded at all the "DIESEL ONLY!!11!!" stickers. All that, and we still had a friend with a 6BT pull in for fuel and have the rocket scientist kid fill it with regular....that was an expensive oops for the station owner. Thankfully Byron caught it before he fired up. I love all the "Temporary™" going on. ;)

[@Tinker1837]

Right! A couple dollars in stickers will hopefully save me a load of of cost in a quick mistake. Temporarily ridiculous :D Hmm... wouldn't be a bad name for my content haha!

[@williamwhitted2490]

My heart skipped a beat, I thought it was about to run away for a minute. It was kinda cruel how it ended though.

[@Tinker1837]

Same! I was damn near speechless when it went sideways. I figured the fix would take several days & I didn't wanna slack again from trying to upload weekly, so I just put out what I had.

[@williamwhitted2490]

Tinker always leave them wanting more

[@Tinker1837]

Thankfully this build will likely never really "end" so I can keep everyone's Disco fix fulfilled.

[@MbanziSD]

My first Land Rover was an early Series II 88, 1958 I believe, diesel of course. Could barely reach 60mph but could drive straight up a wall. Biggest regret of my life getting rid of that. Too bad California makes it so hard to to do what you're doing on my Disco II. Living vicariously through you meanwhile!

[@Tinker1837]

Oooo those are classics 😎 Yeah I am well glad that Michigan is forgiving with mods like these.

[@uhmlmfao]

Yessssss!!! Thanks for all the videos throughout this project! This actually pushed me to manual swap my 08 cummapart.

[@Tinker1837]

Hell yeah, that's no easy task either! Glad they can be of some use 🤘

[@uhmlmfao]

Tinker nope, went with the 5600 versus the g56! No Mercedes science projects for me!! Can’t wait for the next upload to see what the cause was!!

Good that you have enough experience to know to give it a proper shakedown before taking it into any real terrain.

Well, that was almost the saddest video ever. Well, not ever, but still woulda been tragic. Had flashes of when deboss left his socket inside the Ls, just painfull. Also i have no idea how HD stuff is set up but no boost control seems odd

[@Tinker1837]

Almost, & painful for sure but I ended up super lucky with how it broke... it's already back to chugging along, & thankfully without my wallet being too much lighter like it could've been!

[@andysimpson9653]

Long time first time, you do unbelievable work brother! I remember reading a while back that you were kicking around the idea of doing another, so I was wondering if ya had any interest in adapting an '04 Disco to take the repower crate but keep the native diff? I'm not too far south of ya, building out my take on the camper presently.

[@Tinker1837]

Hey thanks! Yeah maybe, because I have been seriously considering picking up a few Disco's with blown V8's to install both engine swaps _(either LS or diesel)_ & campers like mine. Cool to hear of others getting upgrades instead of 1-way trips to the scrapyard!

[@andysimpson9653]

Oh for sure! I got mine by accident from a scrap guy, former owner ran it into a tree and junked it, only frame damage on the front. Bomb still ticking faithfully 20k (118k odo) later! Luckily I started reading the manual before I dumped it, these suckers are PACKED with features. Gonna at least do the steering u-joint if not more this year. Keep up the awesome work brother!

Do you have any plan for ABS or Traction Control systems? Not that they are necessary but it is a nice safety feature.

[@Tinker1837]

I do not, but I do have a center locking differential now & will be installing lockers to solve traction issues. I don't ABS will make a comeback, although I do plan to re-build the entire braking system using much larger Range Rover Sport calipers & rotors... so it's maybe something I could keep from the donor vehicle 🤔

does it have some dum pump (injection) thing cuz it was a mud pump motor????????????

[@Tinker1837]

Thankfully no, it has the "over the road" pump. My engine started life in a Freightliner StepVan, but only for a short time before the van was wrecked, then was removed to replace a blown-up Detroit diesel in a drilling company's giant mud-pump, which didn't last long either because that mud-pump's gears exploded & was put out to pasture. As far as I can tell my engine has very little hours, on it on account of an unlucky string of events for previous owners.
