Tuned 662 video
here is a link to You Tube clip - note hill is STEEP - 6mm elements make a great difference -waste gate set to one bar ,could take 20 psi/1.3 bar ,am using 4000 rpm , pulls hard .
Sounds a good drive this Tony, might have to book a flight to Bristol soon to check this truck out !! Would be a nice conversion on my Cabrio ..... thinking now
Very nice.
Very nice Tony, can't wait ti get mine converted to a decent diesel..... but......
Overtaking on a solid white line AND the red hashings.... tut tut.... on youtube too....
nice video tony...!!
power seems not too far off the 606a. i am sure anyone that takes the plunge will not regret it....

Surely the metal bodied vehicle in nearer to 2 tons than 2 and a half, nit picking but the van is much lighter than the 5 door vehicle with its extra seats and glass. Impressive performance though
you have me at a disadvantage Sir
Looking very impressive!
Super power
Keep up the great work guys
sweet!
There is a better version of the video here:

Nice one Tony!
Eddie.
Tony,
Very impressive conversion and if the British Army replaces all its Land Rovers with G's then I'm sure you and Axel will be asked to 'Serve Your Country'...............
What are the returns MPG wise?
Looking to seeing it first hand.

it does go really well, i have driven it and the low down pickup is remarkable , using the 6mm elements and the 606a kkk turbo does the 'business' - it also has a nice 5 cylinder exhaust 'yowl' .
just awesome, that weight traveling at that speed . All credit to those involved.
Do any of these engines have VGT or VNT turbo's? or are they all "normal" fixed impellor turbos?
I've got a VGT on my Td5 landrover, and it makes the world of difference... would be a nice thing to try on a G, especially with an autobox where you can't rev it and drop the clutch, lower end torque would be nice... although I suspect a 3 litre with 6mm nozzles and the boost raised a bit won't be short on torque anyway!
Super impressive. Do you want a swap 
?

Am using std kkk 606 turbo with 15 psi msport waste gate actuator and 6mm elements , have not found sweet spot yet.
Have twice retarded a tad but. dont have as much torque as I expect yet. However....goes absolute gangbusters from 2000 rpm and 1050' F egt is plenty/max with sensible piston life.
I ran my previous 662 'stock' ,pump maxed by pro ,waste gate at 18 psi , shed loads of pulling power from 1000 rpm.
Turbo's ? See US forums for variety , follow the scandinavians for sense and use Holset 35.
Am assembling the ingredients for a 2.9 block with 20 v head and pistons + 7mm fuel elements
Edit : M A-B was right , 6 spd a dream to use , I had always liked the hd 5 speeds til now
