First Drive! × 4BT Cummins Discovery #43 [Land Rover Build]

First test drive with Cummins diesel power & leaving the shop in 2+ years! Next up is a road test shakedown & buttoning up a load of things next up on the checklist: Hood, gauges, electrics, cooling fans, heater, handbrake, snorkel, full exhaust etc.
~ PART#43 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]

Much more footage to come! This edit was getting very long so I broke it into multiple videos, also because video editing takes so much time & I just want to wrench on this thing! Also don't mind all the "over throttling" during this part, that was just me being dumb, because I'm used to my current daily driver CRX that easily spins 10,000rpm. It actually goes into gear & drives with ZERO throttle pedal & no stalling, which is kind of funny... it's such a tractor haha!

I want to ask you, what about the traction control, will you still use or better you will install with diff lock on bot axle!?

@@Tinker1837 I think so

[@dhc4ever]

Well mate it runs, good work. FFS finish the exhaust and get it exiting out the back. Diesel oil and soot is a pain to clean off glass and is NOT healthy to breath in, which you will do in its current position. Not to mention the noise factor. A decent filter housing and airbox will save this things engine in the wet or dusty conditions, the filter you have stuck on there only stops large rocks and small children being injested. That and it would add at least 2 more videos to this saga. Ignore if youve only fitted these filters and exhaust to run around the yard. Cheers

[@Tinker1837]

Thanks & I will! I'm waiting to setup my TIG welder so I can start playing with aluminum & stainless. Building exhaust systems has been kind of fun for me lately, & I've been practicing on my other builds by making full custom systems with my own headers etc. Oh yeah the intake is temporary too, because that goofy looking cone filter is just for the shakedown runs. I have a fancy twin-element Donaldson setup (you may have spotted it in earlier videos) that'll lay right on the passenger fenderwell & shoot thru for a proper snorkel up high. Good looking out though!

(as much as any project is really "finished")

[@Tinker1837]

Right! It may sound funny but I'm pretty excited for the highway testing, because the old setup could barely pull itself along at 70mph... & this new setup should easily cruise 70-80 in a nice rpm range too :D The interior shouldn't be a big deal really, honestly just have to toss the dash back in with a plate for the new gauges, then the heater/aircon box I need to make. The hood I have a fun idea for, & full real exhaust I'm waiting on setting up a TIG welder. The windshield could be very expensive though :(

[@Tinker1837]

For sure, especially for how I'm looking to use it to wander more of North America than I've seen before. I'm pretty confident in my numbers crunching for the ratios, but only real world testing will tell the full story. The old setup was borderline dangerous on the highways here, trying to even cruise 60-65 when everyone's whipping by at +80mph... not ideal.

All this time, he was a ginger, theres always something. Also, fucking sweet, thing is gnarly. Two things, make sure that vacume hose for the booster is really rigid, rubber has a bad habbit of collapsing under vacume, hard plastic/pex is a good substitute. Also im sure you did homework but most folks including deboss himself say the he35s are too big, too much lag. Im sure you saw he just ripped apart his 4bt. Cant wait to see this thing crawling.

[@Tinker1837]

No soul, but a 4BT? Could be worse... ha! Good tip, it's something that I've been thinking was an iffy call maybe by using the silicone hose for that. Oh well that's actually a special unit called a "Super HX30W" which has the quick spooling smaller volume 6cm exhaust housing but still with the large HX35 sized outlet, & it has the biggest wheel you can fit in an H-30 size compressor housing. So all the boost & none of the lag, but I won't say compounds aren't a possibility in the future, made sure to leave plenty of space for more snails 👍

Welcome and thanks!

[@williamwhitted2490]

Hell yeah man!!!

[@Tinker1837]

So happy to be behind the wheel again!

[@williamwhitted2490]

Tinker I really want to see this thing on the trails. How do you think the weight of the 4bt will affect performance, axle reliability and all that? Any future mods planned to support the 4bt? Did you have to get stiffer than stock springs?

[@Tinker1837]

Same here! It's going to be a fun comparison against that old Rover V8, especially on the more challenging sand dune & Drummond Island trails. I think weight issues like spring rates going all out of whack & the axles becoming the new weak link was something I couldn't avoid, especially with all the added cargo from the camper setup inside. Oh yes, I already have design plans in the works for custom building a 3-link & 4-link long travel suspension, plus custom building a pair of tough Ford 9's or Dana 60 axles.

[@williamwhitted2490]

Tinker I think it’s gonna be a little bit of a dog on the dunes. Diesel is great for overland, but the lack of throttle response/ no boost until it gets moving will hurt you a bit. But on the upside, ALL THE TORQUE! Eagerly awaiting the results as always!

[@johnforbes4526]

Well done ! Nice feeling isnt it ?

[@Tinker1837]

Very much so! Plenty of worry at first, quickly followed by relief.

[@juflex796]

Yes man! 👍

[@Tinker1837]

About time but well worth the wait!

[@juflex796]

Tinker obviously yes, you have an amazing project that we all want to see come to fruition! 😉👍👌 you make us dream!

[@Lou-f]

nice! do you think it'll be finished before binky?

[@Tinker1837]

I'm not sure it'll ever really be finished with the plans that I have on store for it, but at the same time I'm just about as excited for theirs to hit the road as mine!
