Just a quick video not a lot of talking just showing the first start up in the defender - hope you guys like it and give us a thumbs up and share with your friends 👍👍👍
Hi Paul I’m in Melbourne and about to do a M57n conversion on my defender too can you please tell me where you got the adaptor for the LT230 transfer case? Keep up the good work love your videos Kind Regards Andrew
Hi Andrew - good on you it will be wicked , I had mine from syncro gearboxes uk - excellent service and top quality parts - think I have a vid on my channel of fitting mine . Good luck and let me know how it goes 👍👍
Thank you Paul I’ve ordered it and should have it soon. Will let you know how I get on . I have a donor vehicle so hopefully I should have everything to do the conversion. I’ve also ordered a new ecu with everything removed that I won’t need. Kind Regards Andrew
Hi mate - the twin turbo is a bit different again to the one I’m doing but pretty sure there’s conversion parts for the twin turbo about now mate yea 👍👍
Hi Paul - to be honest there’s so many variables on this build - depending on where you are located and where you get motor from - if I were in uk and not doing myself there is a few good companies which supply the whole package for a set price and not sure if they offer fitting but there’s a few about who would fit it I’m sure. It’s not a cheap conversion I don’t think personally but for me with buying the adaptors - doner car - radiator- intercooler - piping - wiring - ecu - transfer case - etc etc etc has still come at a cost here in aus . Sorry I have not really answered your question but it’s a tough one.
Hi Daniel - no mate when it was running on the floor in first video I had the ews and key chip transponder and reader wired up - I decided on a ews delete later on as I needed the speed signal delete done anyway so thought one less control unit to worry about later on 👍👍
Hi mate, I'm on doing this conversion now with the Wiseman ECU and loom but I can't get it to start, I'm also using the 6hp. Is there any wiring to do with the gearbox and shifter that can stop it running? We connected it up same as Wiseman instructions. We have fuel at the rail and good grounds all round but it just won't fire. Do you have any suggestions for us? Cheers ✌️
Hi mate - it should start with the wiseman loom - doesn’t need any signals from transmission to start if the ews delete is on the ecu. It is most probably a synch issue. You’ll need to connect a diagnostic computer (mine is autel) and carry out ews to dde synchronisation. There was a guy local to me with same issue and we tried checked all wiring which was okay and found ecu or emulator was faulty unfortunately for him. Try that first 👍
@@paulbaker7015 cheers mate, will try that. This might be a silly question but, should we be using a heater plug relay and loom or is it built into the harness/ECU?
No worries. You mean the glow plugs?? I’m not 100% but think it’s already controlled but I have glow plug faults in my quick test so not sure - although no problem with start or driving- engine is spot on with outstanding performance and good fuel economy
Hi mate been soooo busy and project has been left over last few months it’s up and running and driving still bits to finish off but I’ll do a update video this weekend
