wow megga old post i just replied to Ahh well, link updated https://secure.bellautoservices.co.uk/store/td5-vgt-hybrid-road-and-off-road-turbo/

Hi crumbie9, Sorry I have not seen your email come or id have answered it. If the garage has for some reason wiped your remap of its no problem, Give me a call to arrange to bring it back in and ill re apply it. As said above phone is the easest to get me due to the ever growing emails i get and my spam box getting more sencitive by the day. Pete

As a lot of you know i built the first 2.7L TDV6 defender as a challange car as a mini project 18 months or so agao, well im now nearly ready to start to build a new defender using the new TDV6 3.0L from the D4/RRS 2010. Im thinking possibily down the lines of a 110 or possibily a 130 and building a overland type car with duel fuel tanks, water tanks etc etc only because the challange car i built has got a limited aftersale market and untimatly this build will also eventually end up getting sold on. So ideal welcome Below is my donor TDV6 3.0L engine. Pete

We have some in stock if you are interested before the VAT rise in January. Pete

TD5 VNT Turbos are now in stock at IRB developements and with my self at Bell Auto Services, ready for shipping. Pete

Soon yes

My self at Bell Auto Services and Ian at IRB Developements are now taking orders and payments for the next batch of VNT TD5 turbos due in stock next week, we have a limiter supply so if you intend to order please do so before stocks run out again. Pete

Thank you very much for your detailed explnation. Pete

Thanks , ill take a look Im trying to compare the rolling radius of a 225/55/19 To the simex 32/10.50/16 so i can make final drive calculations for my TDV6 defender conversion. Pete

what is the rolling radius of the simex 32/10.50/16ET tyre is the 32" the hight? Ive never been over clever with tyre sizes and rolling radius's. Pete

We hope to have them in stock very very soon, ill post as soon as. pete

You should actualy fit it as near to the inlet manifold as possibile, just like the inlet/temp/pressure sensor is. I advise you drill and tap the inlet manifold in the thick part next to the egr housing. Pete

Camping thursday is not a problem, we are setting off at dinner time tomorrow and will be there for about 3-4pm hopefully. The show is a good show, not a buisy as some but i still think a very good show. its also nice because the challange is on so its some rear action for the spectators. Pete

Hi Has John told you he is now not going ?? Pete

Yes with some welding to the cnetre pipe. Pete

I think it would fit I'm not sure about any gearbox life yeteven on the D3 we have used LOL Time will tell Pete

Hi I didnt go for the auto box just to try and keep it simple ,, if thats actualy possibile. The engine is running a LR modifyed code ecu i have developed to run it outside of the car, it has been tested in a working RRS running down the road with no problems, also on a working manual D3 before i got to this stage. Ive no doubt it will still work when i squeese it into the defender. As you know there are many things inside the engine ecu that read from sensors to alter the mapping, this is what has taken me 12 months of research to work round and eventualy we have come up with it running not only out side the car but with no cats , no dpf and not needing a signal from any speed sensors. Ill post more pics and info as i go on. Regards Pete

Re the axles, to make into a rolling chassis that would drive JUST to move it we will use some standard LR ones, then upgrade them after the main problems and body is delt with. Im still a million miles away yet from a driving car because there is so much more developement for the electronics and the basic connections between the 3 parts of the drive train to finalise. Ill be at is for years lol Pete

Here is a sneek preview of the TDV8 engine and D3 6 speed manual box with a LT230 defender transfer box we are fitting into a 100" defender The video is carp quality as its on a phone but ill upload some better ones soon. Just does go to show anything is possibile and you can get the engine runing out of the car even tho people say its not possibile Lots more work to come yet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bZH4vicB9o Pete

These clusters are simple eniough to correct, if anyone needs it done give me a shout i may be able to help. pete

Probabaly both lol, it will be a animal i hope.

Like this one in my workshops , soom the beast will breath. Ignore he chassis , its for moch up only. www.bellautoservices.co.uk/TDV8-defender.jpg Pete

I must admit ive hung of the end of one of Gigglepins twin motor winches a few times and for shear power and torque you cant beat them. Yes they cost a lot but to be fare your getting a lot back for it, its a superb conversion for the serious user and even for the reliability factor as well. 2 motors, if 1 fails it will still run 1 motor, if it fails , no winch Pete

Around 650+vat exchange regards pete

Positive pressure actuation. regards Pete
