That's impressive. I've driven these stock fully loaded in npr's, npr300 weighing in at 6.1t and yeah they are slow and steady.

QUESTION WHEN TUNED DOES IT VOID THE WARRANTY ?? AND UR SAYING YES THERE IS A RISK, BUT DOES UR TRINKERING AROUND WITH IT SHOW UP THE COMPUTER SIDE OV TRUCK IF THE WORST DOES HAPPEN AND THE INSURER RUNS A DIONOSTIC ON THE ENGINE? BASICALLY IS THE TUNE UNDETECTABLE TO THE DEALER ON WARRANTY CLAIM ?? CHEERS GUYS

Great stuff guys, loving the real world numbers. Are you planning on any further performance mods, intercooler/exhaust etc?

@staytuned9176 Жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yes definitely. We have exhaust, turbo, intercooler, gauge / pillar pod all coming

Thats good. We have tested heaps of them before and after and am yet to see any difference outside of margin for error.

hi look great but just one question please what happens to the warranties ?

@staytuned9176 4 ай бұрын

@user-qd9wg9xn9f same thing as any other modification. If the tuning is proven to be the cause of the fault with the vehicle, then it won't be covered. If the fault is not caused by the tune, it will. We have never had a failure in hundreds of trucks, they are very reliable.

You don't have to give away your 11 herbs and spices... But how on earth can Isuzu (and other manufacturers) hose even more fuel and get figures of less than half? With a petrol, overfueling helps protect from pre-detonation via cooling So IMO they might overfuel to keep away warranty issues and don't mind that you are paying for extra fuel But how do these diesel trucks get such bad fuel economy with the low factory outputs? Or is it that the tune is bad, and therefore drivers are on the accelerator to get the truck moving? Thank you for your time

@staytuned9176 Ай бұрын

@@willhooke it's mainly the second half of what you said. So with a Diesel, the richer you run it, the hotter it gets. It's the opposite to a petrol

@camfree Жыл бұрын

Hey guys, I’m curious about warranty issues with it tuned? The salesman I chatted to while test driving one said Isuzu won’t cover them.

@staytuned9176 Жыл бұрын

The manufacturer has to prove that a modification caused a failure. A tune doesn't void your warranty unless a failure is directly attributed to it. In which case, we would help. However it goes without saying that some risk is always involved when modifying vehicles.

Interesting, very interesting. Regarding fuel consumption and 37" tyres, once you change the wheel diameter the onboard live fuel consumption readout is false; which is to be expected. Are you able to change the settings on live fuel consumption to be accurate with 37" tyres? For instance, my readout hovers a lot around 15.5 l/100 to 15.7 l/100 when in fact the real consumption is 18.2 l/100 to 18.6 l/100.

Is your speedo accurate?

@allanhugh2044 Жыл бұрын

@@staytuned9176 The speedometer is dead accurate, the fuel consumption readout is still working on the OEM wheel size (we're running 37" wheels). Check your truck, you'll notice the difference between displayed and actual. You need to reset the second trip meter readout when you refuel to get the constant variable readout.

@staytuned9176 Жыл бұрын

@allanhugh2044 I'm well aware how to reset the trip consumption using trip B. Ours is consistently within 0.5 - 1l per 100km

How does the tune effect low range performance? Isuzu limit the torque in reverse and low range (assuming to protect the drive line). Does your tune take that into account? Tossing up between the NPS and the Hino 817. Ive owned both brands of on-road trucks in the past so no really brand loyal as both have been great. Have you guys had a go at tuning the Hino?

@staytuned9176 Жыл бұрын

We have tuning packages coming for the HINO! The torque limiters are still active in reverse and low range, albeit a fair bit higher than stock.

The engine a 4 or 6 cyclinder and how much does it cost to do the tune you did. I'm looking at retiring soon and I already own a 2013 D-max which I really like but these trucks really appeal to me so looking at setting one up for full time touring. Cheers really appreciate onest numbers

if your going to pimp the engine with mods, what would you do? also would you add a high volume oil pump and change the oil pan so it hold more with a baffle in the pan. also are you going to tweek the drive line or rear end gears.

@staytuned9176 Жыл бұрын

There are some mods coming, so keep an eye out. We have seen no reason to suggest a high volume oil pump is needed.
