1HD FTE TROOPY Real World performance improvements

Let's see if a 3 inch exhaust and a new raised air intake make any difference in the real world.
I did a little "real world" highway driving experiment up a hill to see how an exhaust and air intake upgrade performed on my 2002 HDJ78 1HD FTE Troopy.

Awesome video mate. Good info. I’ve got a HDJ100 which is very similar speeds going up that hill as I head down the coast. I was wondering if it was down on power so it’s good to compare. Thanks 😊

Hey mate ive got a 3 inch straight though and egr delete on my 79 rv and with out a doubt it opens them up for sure itll tow a loaded car trailer up a hill and make it its bitch itll just kept pulling up the hill without any real effort ive had v8s as work utes some with and without 3inch fitted and they had nothing on the 1hdfte.

Love the 1HDFTEs, one of the best in-line 6 made by Toyota! Great test video mate! Greetings from PNG!

Jeez. You gotta be careful with that speedo . Good to have the gps as a double checker 😃👍. Good job

[@TropicalZooms]

Definitely an improvement with the new exhaust. A shame about those disgusting sausage waters toilets. That bloke in the little black car at 15:30 I think needs some food to look at his lights. Good overall testing champion. Interesting to see the difference 😃👍

Love it mate, I would recommend getting a Unichip fitted and a dyno tune now that you have the exhaust and bigger airbox. That will be a complete game changer. Great vid.

[@downunderprojects9322]

Yes, I'm saving up for that. Probably get the boys at Berrima to do it.

What were your EGT's running? The thing I noticed is how much cooler the truck seemed to run with the larger exhaust. Watch the temp gauge. I have a 95 Troopy with a 1HZ.

[@downunderprojects9322]

Yeah I've heard that. I didn't have an egt sensor on the original exhaust. I've got the sensor now on the 3 inch but haven't hooked it all up yet. Also got a water temp gauge fitted when I installed my low coolant alarm but it's not hooked up yet either. Just need to power up my JRP 14 in one gauge but I've been slack. Original Troopy water temp gauges are notoriously inaccurate and can easily fluctuate by 20+ deg! So I haven't noticed much difference. Thanks for your feedback.

@@downunderprojects9322 Right, what I meant to say is that your truck seemed to run cooler with the larger exhaust, which I saw by watching your coolant temp gauge on your dash on the video. I said that badly. I have a stock exhaust and I know if I pushed my 1HZ like that the EGT would be over 1000 in no time.

Hi mate. What exhaust did you end up getting.

As I mention in the vid, a Manta 3 inch with the mid tone hot dog
