Shipping alone would make a race with my Isuzu a bit of a problem (different country and all that). Mine's not that quick anyway, about 17 seconds to 100km/h.

How about an internet race? Post up your dynolicious printouts. Stock TD5 90 is supposed to be just under 18 seconds according to these guys:
Car: Land Rover Defender 90 2.5 TD5 Country

Like you said, that's not yours. ;) What can your one do?

Randy's Isuzu in the US was putting out an estimated 500hp. Over 5 times the factory fuel levels, revving to around 5000rpm and boost getting towards triple figures. The trouble becomes finding a driveline that will handle it.

But that's not mine either. I'd have to lose the bonnet to fit his turbos in. My Isuzu doesn't even have an intercooler.

0-100 isn't a good way to test a 4wd, but it's one of the easiest comparisons to make.

I'm still in the process of getting my new 90 rego'd but mine is running all the same parts except for a bigger/better exhuast.

Mine is still a few weeks away because i broke my collar and im unable to drive

Thats sick:D, any internal work?

....

Sorry to hear about the collar bone. It's a nasty recurring problem for several of my friends.

As far as I know Randy has no internal work on his Isuzu. I think he's running head-studs, stiffer valve springs and that's about it, there was talk of porting but I don't know if it happened. I'm not sure where he's at with it right now, I have an intake manifold to send him, the original Isuzu of his was going in his Wife's jeep with a single single and there was a supercharged and turbocharged engine being built to go on a new AWD chassis (similar I guess to the holden crewman) with his old school ford body on top.

He's a busy man and very talented.

I'm keen to find out what your 90 will do with those mods. I'd like to get a TD5 110 as a work wagon at some stage.

Hey Benny - when do you plan to have it finished by???

I am up for a challenge - after I fit my intercooler...

As long as you add enough bricks to the back of your 90 so it weighs the same as my 110 ;).

could be running in a week a reckon but i carnt drive for 6-8 weeks so that has slowwed my progress

Dougal, I think John is still off the air after his move to QLD.

Well theres a few people running mod'd TD5's and Isuzu's but is there anyone running mod'd Puma's? i would really like to see what can be done with one as i am in the market for a 130 puma and i really dont like there lack of balls.

Maybe i should enter my LS1 rover into this "internet race" after a few quick spins up and down the lane i know its quick, and i have just flashed a new tune to it to suit the cam so it should be alot happier now....

One of those tractor-pull sleds would be a great way to settle some of these disputes...

I'll back John's Isuzu tt... ;)

tractor pulls arent the be all and end all when it comes to power...

if no-one does a full pull then it comes to distance covered.

if it comes to more than one full pull then time counts.

providing no-one else made a full pull you could win it with 1HP if you had enough weight and traction.
