Why are defenders so slow?

[The Mad Hat Man]

drive trains are very under rated they will handle 3 to 4 times engine rated horse power. think when you put it low range and hammer it you have alot more horse tha 100 engine rated. what is the ratio in low low range will give you the horse power

Yu cannot increase the horsepower. That is complete bollocks!

 

[jamesmartin]

no but speed becomes torque you do or can put alot more torque through transmission in low box

 

[Boris113]

what did you pay for them coopers

Think they were £695 (for 4 on -32 16x8 rims), £720 with a set of locking wheel nuts. I got them from silverline. never bought from them before but they were the cheapest by a long way and their customer service was excellent.

It doesn't give you more power, it increases the torque at the wheels. And people are always breaking diffs and snapping halfshafts in low range, it happens to someone almost every time I go to a pay and play.

Not all fenders are slow.

Yep it doesn't change the engine but it gives more torque at the wheels because of the lower ratio.

What type of turbo is it?

Garrett

 

[khaos]

not worth **** without a enlarged intercooler

I have a few more things on my list before that.

Paint,
Lift kit,
Winch,
Intercooler.

Yes garrett is standard. This is bigger. I don't have a link because I got it from a mate and it was on his engine when he bought it. He just bought a 200tdi engine. I don't know what it's off or where it's from but it is noticeably bigger than the original and shiny which seems to suggest it hadn't been on that engine long before he bought it. It gives a big kick though when you hit the right revs and it spools up.
