Have you had a hunt through LR4x4? Not wishing to direct people away from this forum but for Land Rover "based" stuff the guys on there are the ones that seem to push the limits a bit more than others.

Seen a few threads on the OM606 into mainly Defenders but a RRC isn't much different to a Defender in that respect. Unfortunately I should head off to work so can't do some more digging for you. Ed

Ed Buddy, I've already discovered that one! I just wish that I could find a definitive build list as there are pages and pages and pages of info  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Ha e you asked fabrication 4x4 for a quote maybe?

They do some very radical stuff into things so an om606 or bt4 would be a doddle for them and they would be able to advise on stronger boxes for it as well  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

I'll be doing a Pete on this one buddy! Just getting the game plan and shopping list in order.....

Have already decided to stick with Mercedes 6 speed box and mate it to an LT230, the Land Rover boxes don't appear to be up to the torque produced by a standard OM606 let alone a tuned one

If I can find a suffix 'c' LT230 box then there is still an option to fit the overdrive as well That'll let me play around with the diff ratios and create a monster that will climb up a cliff in high range and still return a good MPG  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

There was a thread recently with someone who had a TDV6 in a Defender... Ed

That's OK if you don't mind faffing about with computers and all the pain they can cause....

Since I have discovered that the Mercedes OM606 tips the scales at 220KG, so that's 10 KG more than a TD6 and 80KG than a rr V8, it can produce up to 500hp and 700Nm of torque, and not an ECU within miles of it The only cables you need are the throttle cable and a stop cable (optional)  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer...

You still going for some cruise control with it as well?
Maybe retrofit AC as well while you have the access as we know that's deffo something you want to help keep the inside of the thing dry  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

You could also take another route....

I hadn't given cruise control much thought but now that you have... it would be nice.. but I'd then be back into ECU And I'm really trying to divorce myself from them Might be able to fit one of those simple ones that you used to be able to get as an after thought.....

But to be honest, as much as I love cruise, I don't really use it much when towing, as I normally chugging along A roads not motorways. And due to the super stable nature of mobile toilets (they are all over the place cos of the ) I have to use the throttle because of constantly having to adjust to stay in a straight line

A/C hadn't given that any thought either I suppose I could use this to control the environment.....



A boot full of them should do the trick

But now you have brought the chilling subject to light WANT A/C, NEED A/C.... Feel another retro fit coming on..... The bit inside the Classic is easy to fit, been there and got the t shirt.... But that was an piston pump system running R12...

The OM606 has A/C but that will be a rotary affair, and more than likely run R134a.... wonder what will happen..  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!
