The Beast lives!
Great to see an other Québecois doing diesel swaps! Awesome vidéos keep up the good work
Thanks a lot! ;)
Insane work my maaannnnn !
Thanks mannnn!! ;)
I can see another "dieselgate" scandal coming up for VW.
Good work Ludi.
Thanks ;)
Wow, always something special when the engine starts up. Never get fed up hearing that. Well done Ludi, sounds great. Can’t wait to see it installed now. 😊👍🏻
haha me neither ;) thanks!
You thought you were going to shout: It’s alive!!!! 😅😅
Great moment! Congratulations! 🥳🥳
haha thanks! :)
I’m impressed at that adapter plate. Looks like hard work, but I’m guessing you couldn’t get hold of a Land Rover diesel engine for reasonable money
Nope, I am pretty sure all of the diesel land rovers we have here were imported so expensive..
So good to see that everything is now ready to be fittet to the Range Rover 👍 You've done a great job! I'm already looking forward to the next update 😊
Thanks! It's going to be a big day when it moves under it's own power! 😁
When welding something that is going to vibrate a lot it’s advisable to pre heat the metal as y get a better finished product. Great news and video 👍🏻
Really! I had no idea that was something that was necessary :) thanks for the advice ;)
@@ludwigseeley6359 welding without pre heating the metal creates moisture which is incorporated into the weld and causes hydrogen cracking and since the piece you welded is going to be vibrating a lot may make your weld fail. I’m not saying it will but pre heat on anything structural is a good idea, happy welding, looking forward to seeing how the Range Rover performs and the economy side to 👍🏻
@@ewanstewart8011 Sound legit! Definetly gonna preheat next time ;)
My man!! Great job!!
thanks!
Well done you! All those hours of bit by bit slogging all came together.
I am still concerned about that fuel / vacuum pump on the rear of the head as I wouldn't be butchering the car bulkhead. But I am sure you will find a way.
Take care and keep safe!
I am concerned as well! haha but since I changed to the automatic transmission I gained a good 5 inches of clearance ( thats why the adaptor is now much shorter) so theoretically it should be fine but we all know real life is often different ;)
@@ludwigseeley6359 Great. An unexpected bonus. That adaptor plate was some crafty bodging .... brilliant!
1.9 TDI seems a bit puny to be putting in RR. Could you not have found something larger e.g. 2.5 VW TDI? Years ago I had a 2.1 TDI Peugeot engine In 2 door classic. It worked really hard all the time with lots of clutch work - so maybe the auto is the way to go. Had poor acceleration and a top speed of 60 mph. Having said all that I did tow with it and it was great fun to own and drive. Keep up the good work. Loving the content👍
Maybee! Hoping it's going to be okay once tuned!
Another step forward. Will you be doing anything to/with the engine or is it fine as it is?...
Will have it tuned to get more power out of it, how much I do not know yet, it will depend on the budget when I get there!
1.9 seems small. What is the power output and torque figures bud?
