Called an r380 for a reason 😂 mind that right foot chap haha I'd have the Ashcroft locker in the rear and ATB upfront as back does all the work. Also with that power I hope you have Ashcroft HD C&P and would strongly recommend Getting Nige at Xcess4x4 to peg and tab lock your diffs as they will explode or strip the crown. I have had all that done on my 300tdi disco due to running 35s let alone having 200+bhp. (And with those axle upgrades and power no reason for you not to up your tyre size and re-gear 😉😉) Great build though looking forward to following
Hey mate, appreciate your response. An r380 ran in Team Syncro's Ultra 4 race car for 8 races with 37's & running 300+ bhp, they are alot tougher than people think if the bearing are uprated, they are kept cool & oil is changed regularly. I Want the front diff to be completely open under normal road use, lsd in the front has a tendency to make it understeer. All crowns and pinions are HD. Pegging is really only used on off-road vehicles as adds a friction element which is undesirable if you doing high mileage, a well set up diff should be able to cope, but as you said its not uncommon for them to go. I'm not going for crazy big tires as frankly the car will be mainly used on the road (towing etc). Im fitting a 1.1 transfer box to match the power tho so still should be able to hit the magic 100mph haha. cheers for your support, ollie
@@sixthelementengineering54 mechanical sympathy goes a long way with the box people shear the ends off with just a 2.8 and a heavy foot at the wrong time 😂 likewise people "say" they run 37s on stock parts and maintain its fine (probably road queen's haha) Mines my daily and does 27mpg and 80mph on the 300tdi with Ashcroft 4.12 hd gears which totally transformed the car. pegging once bed in there is no drag (less then pads on discs) and only when the crown rides up under mad load does it touch hard. General rule is peg on stock c&p than HD and no peg (he says with unpegged front on HD haha but have stock CVS as weak point which when I go to Ashcroft cvs will peg the front) Agree about ATB on front, had one upfront on my 90 and always pay more for selectable lockers now as didn't like the pull. I'm envious of your center atb, on my list as my plant gears feel a bit worn and like the idea of less tranny slop with the ATB rather than the actual benefit of a LSD 😂 also just about to get a LOF clutch👍🏻 Like anything with modded cars and especially landies it is a suck it and see, upgrade one bit and you shift the weak point and it ends up at an expensive point (gearbox lol) Anyway opinions are like elbows on here haha, good luck and I look forward to following your project and channel👍🏻
@@Roy666Batty Indeed it does! I've left the props as a weak point as I have a spare set on the shelf & they can be replaced in 15 mins. Yeh the tranny slop improvement is huge apparently it makes pumas a lot less lurchy. Thanks for the support should be dropping a new episode next week.
Sorry but I disagree about the diff pegging , there’s no way you broke a crown wheel on a 300tdi through power ! I have had all defenders apart from a puma and lots of different states of tune and tyres, including Superswamper boggers Fedimas and lots more and never broke a crown wheel !
@@9MAS yeh i thought the same. I've heard Adrian Flux are pretty understanding for the need for engine conversions in Defenders. Just a case of shopping around, im sure you'll find something reasonable.
@@sixthelementengineering54 I know that that is why I was asking a 300tdi has got no hope of getting to that level of power, iv been watching this series you mentioned you were back and forth to uni what are you studying if you don't mind me asking
Simon Doherty sorts out the ECU , his email is in the credits. He remaps the ecu to 240 bhp from 184 & carries out an ews delete so I don't have to have the BMW lock barrel and aerial attached in the car. Yes it is.
Ahh yep, now this is good stuff. Looking forward to seeing more
Thank you for the support, appreciate it!
Nice project I'm getting organized to do the same swap. 👍🏻👍🏻
Looking forward to updates on this!
Thanks for the support really appreciate it.
Likewise Alex ....
Where can I get a reliable m57 in the UK?

Thank you. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi there, sorry for the delay in uploads been extremely busy filming content. Currently editing episode 2 so should be out within a week.
what engine management are you going to use???
That gearbox bolts straight onto the m57??
No, to bolt it to an r380 you need an adapter plate. I'm using Syncro Gearboxes adapter kit.
Great video. I am mid build a V8 3.9 conversion from a 2.5NA ex Mod Tithonus 110. Who do you use to insure such a modded defender ?
Thank you for your support. Used to insure with nfu when the car ran a 200tdi, not sure who will ensure me post engine swap.
SixthElementEngineering thanks for he reply, as mine edges closer to being finished I am starting to think this will be an odd ball to insure.

can you write the website for the intercooler. thanks
www.toyosports.co.
you going to sell the turbo?
The turbo is sold already. Sorry about this.
Do you have an Instagram page?
Did I you correctly when talking about the R380 the guy had a 350bhp 300tdi?
I meant to say OM606. 300tdi's cant get anywhere near that kind of power.
@@sixthelementengineering54 I know that that is why I was asking a 300tdi has got no hope of getting to that level of power, iv been watching this series you mentioned you were back and forth to uni what are you studying if you don't mind me asking
Hi!! I do not understood where you’ve bought IC and radiator. I have to replace my 300tdi IC and I would save some money. Thanks
Andry892 From a company called Toyo Sport. Not sure if they do rads for 300tdi though.
What you doing for an ecu? M57 is common rail?
Simon Doherty sorts out the ECU , his email is in the credits. He remaps the ecu to 240 bhp from 184 & carries out an ews delete so I don't have to have the BMW lock barrel and aerial attached in the car. Yes it is.
I'd look up Wisemans Automotive Solutions on Facebook for ecu and loom
@@Farmerboi15 Already sorted in that department thanks. Will check them out none the less though.
