I Had a TD5 90 with Only Around 150 hp ,i Only used it For offroad use,After having it Tuned up and High Ratio Tranfer Gears and Lots of Other Parts like Hydraulic Winch etc I Gave up with it as i Liked The 300tdi Engine Far More as Standard its a Far Better Engine than The TD5 Is.
There’s no doubt the 300Tdi is a great engine, and its torque delivery suited the Defender well. A well tuned Td5 is, in our opinion, far superior, although coming from a 300Tdi, the low end torque characteristics could take some getting used to.
We timed our silver 90 at 0-60mph using our Racelogic Pbox in 2022, and it was 6.1 seconds back then. Standing quarter mile was in 15.3 seconds. Now it has even more power!
We agree these both put out too much smoke, but as presented here, they’re at the extreme high end of what the Td5 is capable of, even though both have quite different engine specs. Anyone who follows our work knows we despise smoke, and our customer vehicles are always clean. The beauty of switchable maps means we can have a cheeky overtake mode too!
Awsome video.Good job you were on a private road😇

Running a bit smoky there 😆
We’ve seen Td5’s at half the power, smoke more than these!
Are you using the original LR gearboxes?
R380 and LT230, yes, but ours are seriously re-engineered by Winchester Gears.
@@alivetuningltd thanks for the info.
0-100 in ?

It’s running over 300 bhp
