How did the Prado 150 go with an Engine Tune | More Power/Less Lag?

[@camb8722]

What, I really like. Is everything your showing is local, to me as well 😁

[@prado150outahere]

Thanks mate! Cheers!

[@vincenzoscarcella5892]

Hey mate maybe i missed it.. what was your standard vs tuned torque figures?

[@ishaqthkr]

I've heard the name Mark before, my remote remap module tune files were done by him, but the module is from Torqit guys, maybe Mark works for many people/companies?

[@prado150outahere]

Yes could be 👍

[@mikefj86]

Have you noticed any difference in initial economy ? I spose it’s to early to tell, but just curious, I have a 150 too and am wanting to get a tune but have my hesitations about it. Don’t want to compromise engine.

[@prado150outahere]

Yes I am noticing a good difference in fuel economy particularly on highway drives. I'm very happy with it. I hardly turn on my Idrive now 😁👍

[@prado150outahere]

Go with who you trust. I've done a bit of research and both Dan's Automotive and Highfields Mechanical have been amazing. I have other videos about Dan and I trust his advise completely. He suggested a tune would be good for this engine. I've kept up the oil changed and maintenance to a high standard and just recently cleaned the EGR. I think its a good move. Injectors will be due in about 20k kms. I'm very happy with the outcome so far.

haha that guy is tall and ur short ? cool goodstuff ! good on you for getting a tune !

[@brentmcd12]

a good general video on Dyno tune ! looks like you got a decent outcome as well !

[@prado150outahere]

Yep, bit of a contrast 😁😁👍

[@brabusmk]

Any performance upgrade available for a 2010 2.7 petrol Prado?

[@prado150outahere]

Hey mate. Yeah unsure on that one sorry

[@angeloudy]

What does it mean `EGR correction`? Is it same as EGR delete?

[@prado150outahere]

Hey mate. Yeah not a EGR delete. I believe they just tone it down a bit in the computer.

[@anthony.grisan]

have you had the injectors replaced? Or load tested? 1kd's are prone to a piston crack. I hope the tune works for you well !

[@prado150outahere]

No, injectors haven't been replaced as yet. They were all tested and values were good. Its a mild tune and yes I was hesitant in the first instant. However, a bit more torque and power good for overall and especially towing. Yes I'm aware of cracked pistons but I've been assured with this tune customised to me and my vehicle it will be a great benefit.

[@w_stanky]

@@prado150outahere at 150kms mine cracked. Nothing bet the best maintenance from new, my injector values were also good… Good luck.

[@prado150outahere]

oh no mate. Not good. What year was your Prado?

[@w_stanky]

@@prado150outahere 2013… Has a new engine now. How’s yours going with the tune?

[@prado150outahere]

Mine seems to be going awesome with no issues, loving it mate. I'll keep an eye on it after your comments. From information I have heard, the 2015 model, 3 L they have refined the injectors to a generation 4 or 5 I believe and are much stronger then the earlier models.

[@michaelconnors5339]

Just my 2c but it's not worth the risk, these things are renowned for piston crack, more torque = higher cylinder pressure = higher stress on pistons, if it lets go you will always wonder, I accept mine for what it is, if I wanted big power and torque would go for V8 cruiser instead where there is more cylinders to spread the load over, a long engine on these are 10k from Toyota plus all the fitting and consumables that are needed.

[@prado150outahere]

👍

[@puranapuu4252]

Just get a V8 dude !! Prado is awesome car from the factory

[@prado150outahere]

😁😁

[@basti3121]

So, 2 years later how does it go? Still happy?

[@prado150outahere]

Yes, very happy, runs great. Up to 287000kms now. 👍

[@daryllee9033]

What was the all up cost in the end ?

[@prado150outahere]

$1595 however if you mention my channel Craig will do it for $1395 👍

[@itsoktoberight4431]

Didn't think to turn off the workshop radio while you guys were talking?

[@prado150outahere]

Yes probably should have. 😀👍

[@NHL4740]

Gday mate! I’ve got a 2019 150 gxl. Toyo 265 17 75 RT’S, Bullbar 2” superior lift My economy with 3 in the car and groceries a 2 hour drive I want better economy and a bit more stick. How much was the tune? Do you have an after exhaust? What happens if you get errors come up Ongoing servicing with Flash or at home? Love to hear pros and cons to justify a tune.

[@prado150outahere]
