    Best OEM conversion I’ve seen so far. That M57 mounted on the MT82 seems perfect 👌

    What are your thoughts on the Stinger Heigh10? And did you manage to get all the OBD features working with the BMW engine?
    I know some features are only available for the 2.2 pumas and not the 2.4, so interested to hear if they all work with the M57? Thanks 👍

    Another great conversion :-) Maybe a question for one of your Q&A video's but have you ever looked into any type of V8 diesel conversions? I remember the 6.2/6.5 GMC was popular for a while but understand they were not great on reliability and very heavy but as the years roll on has anything caught your attention that may make a nice conversion? :-)

    So a bit like your comment on a om606 engine, you like using bmw saloon, coupe engines in 4x4’s, I like defenders, learnt to drive in one in the Army, but they are unreliable, the engines are rubbish, that’s why companies like yourself make lots of money replacing engines and everything else turning them into great motors. Good work.

      @robjones4662 8 місяців тому

      I wasn’t saying the power is wrong or the dyno is wrong what I was meaning is the torque is produced at a very high rev range which is not ideal for a 4x4 you want high torque at low rpm if you want comfortable driving experience
