thats got some grunt under the bonnet whats the bhp ??

 

[Duffbeer]

Sorry EB this is a road car

Hey up pics as requested Bru

Now then, this is some moddy landy, what series ? the mods make it difficult to make it clear from the outside I would say a 110 0r 90 by the front grill, the windscreen is split so tells me series 3 or earlier, though pics of the gear changer tells me again it's a 90 or 110, diff lock rather than L or H range + 4 wd.

Anyone notice the hand throttle ?

 

[Kermit The Grog]

series 2 i'd say
screen hinges look better than series 3

 

[Muddydisco]

Correct series 2! 1967, Range rover chassis, disco axles and gearbox and V8
No hand throttle????? what can you see that make you think that?

Bhp from the book is 198bhp when standard but I need to go playing in the ecu and plenum chamber to change the power band around now it's in a lighter vehicle

Now with sober eyes it's quite plain it's something hanging from the key :?

Hmmm - two years younger than mine then :thumb:

Do you still get it as road tax exempt after all the mods :wha:

 

[Muddydisco]

To be honest it was converted by someone else before the points system came into effect, all I have done is put the larger engine in it, so I don't think it would qualify anymore for the plates, but this summer will be it's last on the road ( saying that it does 200 mile a year) My big disco offroader will be on the road and to save funds the racer will go back to an offroader only, trailered to events.

Baggie My Turn Next..........

Love the sound of the turbo :thumb:

 

[Muddydisco]

It's not a turbo :shock: I wish it was!
It's either the Transmission whine you can here or the fuel pump singing or the air going into the cavernous air intake!

You know those engines take to supercharging very well :whistle:

2011 RIP Yellow Peril.
Long live the Disco!

 

[Muddydisco]

Bru The supercharger is going on the disco, yes it's a diesel with a turbo but the supercharger will spool up the turbo before it comes into power then the supercharger will disengage, giving full boost pressure throughout the rev range, just think of the torque in that!

Savage, you can jump start the loco's for Jim
Full report expected :thumb:

 

[Muddydisco]

I shall post as it gets built, at the moment it's just a chassis in the workshop once the Chassis mods are done it's having a full paint then running gear with twisty bits and then the lump and box on it. once at that stage it's going outside undercover whilst the body is strenghtend and moddied on the floor and fully painted underneath then the two will mate!

I wonder how Lbs tractive effort convert to Bhp? (interesting)

:party: Love it!! I love landies, yet to be able to justify an extra 4 wheeled vehicle but a landy would be my weapon of choice - you can shove your sportscars where the sun dont shine :

I guy i know travels all round doing competitions (Ian Archer) he loves it
