what power did this mental land rover make !?

/ allistairc123
we went to UCCUK held by Tom Davies at Shrewsbury automotive services
to see some weird and wacky land rover creations battle it out on the dynomometer - to see what power they made.
there were some awesome engines on show including the popular BMW M57 And the legendary mercedes om606
there was a lovely 4.0l lexus conversion and even a 5.9 Cummins 6bt but the biggest shock of the day was the mental 2.5 litre 5 cylinder mercedes turbodiesel by DPUK. / @dieselpumpuk
there were defenders 90s , td5, 200tdi 300tdi even a rover v8

[@DieselPumpUK]

Thanks for the shoutout, was great to chat and glad you enjoyed the series :-)

[@chrisparti]

That series 1 was absolutely mental, 593bhp... and it still had leaf springs... I bet that's a thrilling ride... 😂😂

[@jeremyatkinson4976]

Parabolics

@@jeremyatkinson4976 Parabolics vs 593bhp??... that thing needs a 4 link 🤣🤣

[@jackking5567]

I've seen one or two Cummins engined Landys but hadn't realised it had become a scene all in its own. Some impressive set-ups there. It's mad to see an old Landy with a unique patina and yet bolted into key places are clean precision engineered components!

[@ianburit3705]

It's a sad reality that most Americans don't understand that most land rovers In the UK were made diesel-powered, and the USA market never got them, unsure If Canadian markets got them either. I owned a 1991 200TDi turbo diesel Discovery all standard but had done an easy 240.000 when sold without any engine tear down in its life, in my 10 years of being a daily driver it was just serviced and I replaced the timing belt twice. Set up properly it easily did 90MPH, it even ran happily on 50% diesel and 50% new bulk-bought cooking oil (bio diesel) plus a splash of unleaded that kept the injectors clean but gave a bigger CET rating (bigger bang) bulletproof but old designed engines. My now BMW diesel-powered Freelander has too much elecktricery to try bio but that's okay.. Land rovers you either love them or hate them, guess my choice - lol

[@DanielMG6589]

Omg you killed me at 10:19 ... 😂😂😂😂 After that smoke shower😂😂😂😂😂😂 what a great day mate. Thanks for the video.

[@paulcooper2897]

That was fun!!! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@michaelcull7074]

Any more videos with uncle drew and maybe with your dad please.we can learn a lot from these men

[@markburton8303]

I've seen a dyno run on the DPUK page but this gives a better perspective of all of the bonkers creations there. Awesome video!

[@vermillion.__-_.]

SPEED AND POWWWERRRRR. That was worth the watch, great cars

[@cageordie]

Lovely landies. In the US they are ridiculously expensive. There's a 90 just up the street, North American Spec, in very good condition, but just bone stock. It's worth something in the $60-80,000 range. Last time I saw a NAS 110 it was nearly $100k. It's funny, you seem to like the fact it throws out so much black smoke, but nobody wants to breathe it. I love the Lightweight Series III, and thanks for asking him about the transmission and axles. 🙂

[@kenwood8665]

Absolutely brilliant video

[@allistairc123]

Glad you enjoyed it bud thanks for support

[@clutchSA]

Great great video Alli. I love Land rovers and modded ones even better . I had a 96 Disco brand new, the engine sucked , leaked more oil than the Exxon Valdez but it had a very nice body and suspension. I would love to get one with a BMW swapped engine. Thanks for the video.

[@michaeldarby3503]

Love the series 1, was alwaysmy favourite cos used to rip the grill off to use as a bbq when out in the bush.

[@MrDead345]

i love the land rover reg F371 she sounds mean af and i just love boosted deisels any ways great vid

[@peterhall6656]

There is an Australian farmer who has a 1000 hp supercharged V8 ute (not diesel though) which he has run in the Dakar (detuned to a mere 500 hp). The Kamaz Dakar racing trucks have Cummins twin turbo diesels in them (the engines are built under licence in China). Torque and horsepower are monstrous. One of the memorable drives of my racing life is in a Dakar spec Isuzu D-Max turbo diesel with a Holinger sequential dogbox. It weighed about 2300 kg or something like that but accelerated like an EV0 10 . It was gobsmacking. The factory backed tuner had to come out from Japan to do the Dakar spec tune on it. It was anything but agricultural!!

[@Chambers101]

This is high quality content sir, well done. My dad put a Ford Essex V6, in his 2A in 1990, a common swap at the time. Also one of his mates, had GMC Diesel RRC, that seemed bonkers, in the late 90's.

[@paulp96275]

I think I know what’s getting built next great vid thanks for taking us along 👍👨🏻‍🏭

[@09FLTRMM77]

MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼………………………………………………From a guy that has two Cummins Diesel Trucks, I enjoyed this video, Thanks!

[@horstszibulski19]

The 5cyl sounded like a Sprinter van on steroids...creepy... 😂😱 Thx for showing! 👍👍👍

[@bobpitt1261]

I'm pleased to see Greata approves, well done.

[@WolfRichter337]

they really thought to themselves "wow i really need a classic landrover that is even less reliable, let`s bmw it"

[@snapon666]

Love the life size gerta mudslinger cutout !!!!!

[@simonpowell9408]

Another ace vid mate, keep em coming 😀🏁🏁🏁

[@chascarpenter5006]

Thats on helluva show down on power, some great numbers reached, some lovely sounding engines & turbo's. hope everyone had a great day, great to see you Allistair, been missing your video's. I know, been a long day, but it was well worth, cheers, bud.

[@123456BobJackson]

Thanks that was great!!

I love your sense of humour 😂

[@danielhylton93]

That lightweight is absolutely brilliant 👏🏼

[@rogerharper6060]

Glad to see you back I thought maybe you quit lol

[@allistairc123]

I've thought about it. The algorithm requires too much dedication now

[@rogerharper6060]

Please don't quit I enjoy your videos and have learned a lot from you

[@onlygazza]

I’ve got a 6 cylinder Cummings bt6 that I’ve been meaning to shoehorn into my dads 83 landrover, must get on and do it !

[@ianhaggart1438]

Still planning putting a td5 into my series 3 plenty of smoke with plenty of poke.. 😅😊.. tidy looking lot of landys there with plenty time😜 spent on them 😮😊. Stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@markburton8303]

have a look at the OM605 with mechanical pump like the Series 1 from DPUK.

[@umvhu]

50 years ago I was given an S2a with the old 2.6L 6 cylinder (overhead inlet / sidevalve exhaust), I was told very firmly "This thing shears halfshafts, use the accelerator lightly". I didn't put it to the test.

[@arthurdent2900]

Back in the 70s I was into Land Rover events. A popular vehicle of choice was an ex-army light weight with a v8 3.5. Half shafts were the weakest link.

[@roundysstuff]

I’m sorry but The grille on the 6 wheeler- 😭

[@rayjones3473]

I have a mitsubishi with a m57 and an 8spped zf, and it's unreal how quick it pulls everyone should put this engine in when their engine blows it a game changer

4:58 OM613. Only made 4 years between the OM606 and OM648.

[@johncunningham4820]

Luke's 605 is just NUTS . Smallest Engine of the Day and Most Power . Significantly so . Just shy of 600 ho at just shy of 6000 rpm . Jesus Wept...................

[@adamwort7160]

Ive got a 59 series two swb, i fitted a 3.5 v8 in it years ago, having another make over now going 3.9 V8 with LT77, on 900x16 on forward control rims, owned it 33 year's

[@waynep343]

In the 1980s. Had a 109 and an 88. Both had id plates in spanish. Said hetcho en Guatamala. Really strange .

[@killian0408]

The pan to Greta cracked me up!

[@jlrguy2702]

Good to Greta making an appearance :)

[@mikebell9166]

A 6bt will fit.... sorta.... but for an actual driver, 4bt every day for me! But poor Greta... She had a bad day watching you guys make smoke!😂😂😂😂

[@liamrobertson7265]

nice one Cyril

[@genefogarty5395]

I got rid of almost all my oil burners years ago when diesel somehow got more expensive that 87 unleaded. My old YJ has Perkins 3cyl marine diesel in it and the mileage is the only reason I keep it, that and I can run it on waste oil cut with #2 and a bit of 87.

[@jonathanbiggar4973]

Look up the skid factory, and see some mad conversions and a bit of dry Aussie humour.

[@mariusfridlund55]

love those dirty diesels

[@TheGalifrey]

Even the OM605 trumps those M57's 🤣

[@eliotmansfield]

I’m running a 5.7L sbc with twin turbos in my dakar 4x4

[@Jdigger4130]

I am in USA and very few Defenders around and when they are they're a status thing not a wheeler. Like I said I am in California and I always wondered if UK folk cringe seeing German stuff in English products or is that generation gone. Love yer content and ordered an excavator model from Duta after seeing yer 5230! Cheers

[@bushratbeachbum]

That generation shouldn't have been around in the first place. The Germans are excellent engineers, no question of that and always have been.

[@82muli]

I think there is a few in Australia with the Barra turbo in em

[@superliegebeest544]

Nobody with an Om606? And give the guy that came up with cart board Greta a beer for me.

[@74amodel]

Here on the west cosst Canada its only rained three times this summer we're in drought conditions

[@abobymous]

I think Greta enjoyed the community event!! Haha

[@bcbloc02]

But we have sled pulling and drag racing at ucc was that another day? Lol I wonder what took home the torque trophy?

[@allistairc123]

I think the lightweight with compound BMW engine took that trophy

[@trilhoscdtm]

Does anybody know where i can buy a kit to adapt m57 engine to LR gearbox from a 300 disco? Thanks

[@williammillard687]

Recently, I've allowed an extra 24 hours to my eta if my journey involves any 'time-tables'...delays are so 21st century- very rare not to be later than expected these days....the extra 24 hrs. generally does it for me..

[@COM70]

3:45 nice engineering, but I don’t understand the purpose behind a lot of these vehicles.

[@DMSparky]

Hahah well the Ferrari didn’t make much horsepower by today’s standards but wow it sounded amazing. I love some of those builds!

[@zonta71]

The engine has all the horses that refused to work with landy engines. How much horse power was it originally? 24bhp?

[@professorjamesmoriarty5191]

4.51 thats a om648, the om606's common rail bigger brother.

[@johnw6257]

They used to break half shafts even with the standard power unit. What IS the point?

[@sharkeyist]

Fair play! Top respect to the built not bought, just a shame i cant stand landys..

[@erikkovacs3097]

20:01 OM605. A OM606 minus 1 cylinder.

[@RenoLaringo]

So much efforts gone in detailing a car only to pass on one of the first obvious upgrade, which is suspension.

[@muhammadnawaz5039]

How? Engines in Land Rover?

[@harwoods11]

I assume non of these amazing vehicles are ULEZ compliant? 😂

[@dallasbaiton371]

Well we can call that smoke show the Greta express 🤔😂🤣😎

[@tenthousanddays2103]

How Dare You.😁

[@leuvenlife]

Yeah... that 'dropping some oil out of the sump so you have 'just enough' to get ten extra horsepower'... yeah I won't be trying that.

[@pikethree]

Would it be stupid to put a 6BT bus engine in a landy? Edit Oh is that one with reg oe51cco a 6bt? If it is one what gearbox was used may I ask?

[@Robdutton91]

Plenty of Cummins Land Rovers about

[@lefthandedscrewdriver3954]

Had to chuckle at the Greta Tunberg cut out, just as that white one was kicking out all that black smoke 🤣

[@stewatparkpark2933]
