[monkey01302]

that sounds awsome. cant weight to get my series 1 hot rod running right. its got a time slip of 14.6 but that was on the old engine before it went bang. are you at driff show.

[landy321]

Cheers, what engine have you got in it? what happend to the engine? i wont be at the drift show at santa pod but i will be going to a RWYB at some point this year.

@landy321 way to mutch nitrous so from a 5 liter to the rover v8 for now. its not bad though its only 2wd on an sd1 gear box and running jag axels and independant suspention. its also got chopped wind screen and door tops so the dirty looks keep cumin from the s1 club. they love the fire from the side exit pipes lol. i will be trailering it to driff but then i have to make my mind up wether to sell it or put it on the road.

[landy321]

Wow sounds like a monster! You need to get in on the road! Was thinking about putting a 50bhp shot of nitrous on but I dont think I will now. Have you got any pics of it? Do you use it for comp safari or something or is it just for fun?

this is sweet,, i got a landrover with a jag v12 in running down draught webers and tubular manifolds and its completely made from ally checker has taken me a few years lol,, with 450bhp and 450 torque and mine weighs jus over 1000kg i think id giv u a run for ur money :)

[landy321]

@V12Landy, Awesome! sounds like a beast! 1000kg thats light, what gearbox have you got in it? id love to see a pic. think we are going to have to race to settle this ; )!!!! have you got any vids?

[v12Landy]

Are you going to the fastest landrover do at leicester?

[landy321]

Cool! To be fair though my landy had no head lining or rear seats so there is a weight advantage on my part. Plus I think the Zulu is a big heavy 110? The Zulu is 480 bhp but that isnt whats important with a heavy car like a landy its all about Torque!

In the words of Carol Shelby BHP sells cars, Torque wins races!!

Thanks for commenting, Andrew

yes that 0-60 time i think was in a 110 but they can put the zulu pack into any defender after 1998. i would love your engine in my disco it sounds awesome! but i am restricted not by finances but by law. where i live (NSW, australia) it is illegal for people on their first 3 years of having their licence to drive a petrol turbo or supercharged engine, or over 8 cylinders. this does not apply to diesels so i can drive a 300tdi (and my parents twin turbo v10 touareg)

[landy321]

Cheers bud, I was thinking of making it a bit quieter at first but it just sounds too good! Its addictive! Although the fuel consumption is shockingly bad but who cares right?!

Man I love the engine they put in the touareg, that thing will put hairs on your chest! V10 twin turbo diesel!! Awesome! All you get round here is the crappy v6 versions!

[bip0larpilot]

you need to get the gear ratios sorted to run a quicker 1/4 mile

[offroadladd]

nice run ! what mods have you done to it, to make it go like this ?? i bet it pees off most things ! are there any landies out there that are faster ? wildcat, bowler ?

[landy321]

Thanks, its a new 4.6 block with top hat liners, low comp pistons and low comp heads, custom ported plenum mated to Eatons biggest blower. Massive injectors, fuel pump as big as a pint glass! The stock ECU was pants so shes on Mega Squirt and EDDIS 8 with a wide band O2 sensor, 2.5 inch straight through zorst. Tubular manifolds and performance air filter. It does 0-60 in about 4.8 which as far as I know is faster than a bowler. It certainly irritates the hell out of boy racers!!! cheers

[0thingthing0]

0-60 in 4.8 seconds thats faster than the JE Engineering ZULU defender with a 480bhp supercharged ajv8! it does 0-60 in 5.5 seconds
