    Very informative, could you give an example of the cost involved for the conversion please, even if it's the cost of the parts only. Great project by the way! Is there an aftermarket security system that is worth purchasing as these cars are apparently easy to steal and are a well known target for car thieves?

  • @AapVanDieKaap

    In the late 90s in South Africa the Defender was briefly available with a 2.8l BMW petrol engine. Very rare and sought after cars.

    Bloody Brilliant! i always wanted to find out more on this conversion. Like many Puma owners, i'm worrying about the ford engine ticking time bomb and whether to go a more reliable route or replace with another time bomb. Unfortunately, there didn't seem to be enough information online or in fb groups about this swap. This video has addressed alot of my concerns. Thanks heaps Juice motors for making these videos!

    A mate of mine worked on call outs for the RAC for nearly twenty years..... He told me a list of cars to never own, ever.
    Surprisingly VW, Audi and Porsche were on the list, as was the Freelander.... BMW was at the top, closely followed by the later Range Rovers.
    As a Land Rover owner and enthusiast of many years the most reliable engine, and possibly the most reliable engine ever made is the 2 1/4 petrol engine, but low power and much lower MPG.
    The only others I would consider are the 200 and 300 TDI, and the 3.5 V8, all simple and fixable, and not a computer anywhere.
    Other than that, if someone did a Toyota Hiace 2.4 conversion, I would consider that.

  • @Kalamazoom
    @Kalamazoom 2 года назад +1

    Yes! Fantastic, this is super interesting. Only concern is the puma transfer case output shaft but would love to drive this. Well done Juice 👍🏽 quick question how do you go about re-registering as a 3.0L with the dvla?

  • @eltonkingsley5617
    @eltonkingsley5617 2 года назад

    I drive a 3L petrol engined straight six cylinder twin scroll turbo in my late X5 in North America as it’s manufactured locally, the same reason I keep a V8 petrol Rangey this side of the pond. I think you missed an opportunity to convert to petrol, twin scroll straight six BMW engine is one of the best engines out there. Hopefully the BWM diesel engine you have is a late version circa 2012 with 280 BHP or so.

    The South African Police used Defenders with a BMW M52 engine. By all accounts, they were a very good match for the Defenders with 192hp, compared to that of the Puma engine at 122hp !

    Great video guys. I would be very interested to know the pricing involved here. For you to carry out this conversion on a customers vehicle with the BMW auto Box included what would the ball park be? The Puma engine is a strong little beast but it is very agricultural, I have been looking at affordable alternatives.

  • @carsandfarmschak886
    @carsandfarmschak886 2 года назад

    This is really awesome! I wonder what would be needed for a 1987 defender? I converted mine to a 250ci Chevrolet straight six with a Holley sniper fuel injection system. I would like the BMW power plant but am not sure what adapter i need for the R380. I imported mine from the UK and kept it RHD. You guys a Juice are awesome!

    • @br4d101
      @br4d101 2 года назад

      Either 28mm spacer with p38 2.5 manual bellhousing and uprated clutch or adapter plate with new flywheel and bmw clutch, the cheaper option is the first one although not as strong apparently, best way is bmw gearbox with adapter to transfer box

    • @juicemotors
      @juicemotors  2 года назад +1

      It’s not modified, this particular engine is straight from an X5, there’s plenty of clearance between the axle, so much so, you’d be in trouble elsewhere if you made the 2 meet!

Have you had and similar experience or ideas to solve? Thanks.
