Discovery 2 BIG performance upgrades | VNT turbo + Stage 3 remap install 

If the opportunity presents itself, I will, nothing I have planed right now

Yes, once we've fitted a winch to the new bumper we'll go and get it stuck somewhere 😆

@@TirsbaekTV Obviously getting it stuck on purpose, just to test the winch 😉

Never! 😂

It really is! It seems that every expensive SUV wants to race me now... And of course I take up the challenge every time!

Sounds like an awesome trip! Did jo go Finland-Estonia-Poland-Germany or boat?

Drove all the way southern Germany to my friends and then back again

Boat is too damn expensive LOL cheaper to drive

@@jjt1093 Quite a drive!

@@TirsbaekTV definitely but used to do that every year :)

It really is! It should have left the factory with this type of turbo and tune, but I don't think the technology was at that level

@@TirsbaekTV Yeah, I'm really curious as to why they didn't run a VNT, given Nissan were using them (GT2052V) on the ZD30 motor from 2000 (My first VNT conversion used that exact turbo, worked well!). I can only suspect they had questions about reliability of VNTs long term - or they didn't want to upstage the V8... The other big fault with a D2 is the auto version (which outsold manuals by a huge margin here in Australia). I don't generally like autos anyway, but the D2 especially was just not a great transmission, completely sapped all the lively character out of the Td5. Unfortunately 6 speed (or even 5 speed) autos would have been prohibitively expensive at the time I guess. If the D2 had sold in that level of tune/turbo, and with a 6 speed auto option, I reckon they would have easily doubled their sales numbers, and there wasn't exactly a shortage of them on the road in Australia already! Less common to see on the road these days, but still plenty getting around/for sale...

@@EvilGTV Could be that they didn't want to upstage the V8 - Never thought of that! 🤔 - The 4 speed autobox should have been a 6 speed! I do dream (plan) about swapping one of the farm Land Rovers to a M57 with a 6-speed auto 🤫

I did think about doing it, and will do if I can't get enough air into the engine

@@TirsbaekTV I brought a 3 inch stainless exhaust and serck intercooler trying to reduce EGT. I tried the 3 inch first without the intercooler upgrade. it did not help at all. i was running the decat and mid muffler delete. serck helped but not that much . maybe the manual serck would provide better cooling. I'm not chasing power, just keeping the engine cool. will be interesting to see if the new turbo helps reduce the EGT

@@troymortimer3487 I haven't got a EGT sensor, but might look into it in the future, but I haven't had the tempture of the engine reach higher than normal, but the high EGT's should be a fault in the map or injector surely? 🤔

@@TirsbaekTV I'm guessing its always in the map. EGTs are only an issue when doing 110km looking to overtake or pushing it hard up a hill. zero to 100 is no problem. I thinking have a lift, bigger tires and roof rack doesn't help with aerodynamics. I would love to see what your EGTs are. interesting to see where you put the probe. lot of debate on that as well. cheers

It looked a bit bigger, might just be because it was new and shiny! But the low end boost is amazing! Much rather have a VNT than a hybrid for this setup

@@TirsbaekTV why rather a vnt than hybrid ?

@@KaraLeo1 All down to the low end pull, with the higher LT230 gearing and higher 5th V8 gear in the R380. An absolute joy to drive!

You want to change the clutch, but a gearbox in good condition, will keep up with the power. I got the higher 5th V8 gear and HD support bearings for ind- and output shaft, just to be on the safe side, but stock R380 will take it

It's a 2003 or 2004 D2, so most lightly a 15p engine.

900.50£ for the kit if you are in the UK. You do need a bigger intercooler, a remap, and so on, for the full effect :)

@@TirsbaekTV And the price for all of that? Tk go to stage 3. Cheers 🍻

@@Defender110SLO The Intercooler (Serck motorsport) 475.20£, EGR (all depending on what model) between 20-40£ and remap is normally around 200-300£, and a new HD clutch from LOF SMF Power spec or Extreme Spec: 425-490£

No, I use the Nanocom to adjust the boost guage, so they match up :)

@@TirsbaekTV thanks for the reply. What did you cap your MAP reading at? MAP less AAP = turbo boost? Also, I think I see a stage 2 vs stage 3 td5 race coming.

@@rjakoet The Stage 2 vs Stage 3 vs new V8 is sure to happen!

@@rjakoet The turbo is limited to 1.5 bars max and 1.6 peak at times (Set from Turbo Technics). The boost acuator hose did come off and I hit 2.2 Bars 😬 All down to a faulty hoseclamp

I did put oil down into the feed, and cranked it until 1 Bar of oil pressure

Search for "fish tank connector 63mm" and you should find them

Project Bob has been dismantled and some of the parts sold off as we want to focus on the Creeper now.

What turbo setup and remap would you recommend? 🤔

@@TirsbaekTV could you right down the part number of the turbocharge???

No, only swapped service parts :)
