SAFE vs RISKY DIESEL POWER UPGRADES - 5 things you need to ask before choosing!

[@terryfenner8978]

I'm not austrailian (Texas born and raised) but I do like to 4 wheel, but I have never seen such a thing as this. Incredible driving, incredible rigs, and plenty of entertaining and informative content. Since returning from a Feburary Big Bend backcountry camp trip to a COVID locked down world I have been watching your enormous back log of youtube videos almost daily (sometimes 2 X a day). I might not be an Austrailian 4 wheeler, but I watched 4WD action yesterday so I can now drive anything and fix anything that is broken. lol Love you guys, started planning an Austrailia trip for 2025 just from watching your awesome videos. I've got 5 years to prep for it and let the economy recharge. Is it even possible to rent a 4WD to drive on some of your "mild tracks"? Cheers, keep up the content!!!

[@Cammo-vp1gl]

I had my 200 series ECT and ECU remapped, the best thing I ever did. Went from 142.3 kw atw to 178.4 kw atw close enough to 25% improvement. Torque improved by 25% too. The ECT now drops into 6th at 80 Kmh and I’m pulling 1500 rpm at 100 km/h. Economy has also improved both when towing and unladen. It goes like a scalded cat.

[@aj_moto1044]

In combustion engines, power is the mathematical product of torque and angular velocity (=RPM). Since Diesel engines have a natural RPM limit due to the way combustion works, the only way to get more power is to increase torque.

I've got a 2018 MQ Triton Exceed and took it to Ultimate Diesel Tune and the results I had are almost identical to the results you guys showed here - demonstrates consistency. Ultimate were really good at asking me what I use it for now and what I want to use it for including future mods. Thankfully I'm not carrying any tradie boxes on the back and I'm not wanting a muscle 4x4 either. I love how it performs now even when I'm not towing my 14ft offroad campervan. I compared some prices but half of them never called me back so Ultimate got my business based on 95% of your recommendation Shauno!! Bloody legend mate! It's almost got me wanting to do the Cape!

I have had my Hilux tuned by Ultimate diesel in Dandenong, I highly recommend using them to get the power and torque out of your 4wd. They really do care about your vehicle and make you 100% aware of any potential problems pre tune, I spent $5500 to get great numbers out of my Hilux, in this they also found my injectors to be leaking and in need of replacement. All round they have helped me discover the true potential from my 4wd and have done so safely and without any unnecessary nonsense. Thank you Ultimate Tuning Dandenong!

Are services inherently more expensive there in Australia? I live in Las Vegas USA, and I spent $500 bucks for a dyno tune on my vehicle. $5500!? Did they do a complete rebuild for you? That's obscenely expensive for tuning. $5500 bucks would upgrade both turbos on my truck (3.5 ecoboost), or upgrade to a Whipple 3.4 for my car.

Thanks Shaun for getting me onto this mob, it was from the video of the 1000 buck track. Got a $200 discount too, bonus 👍👍 thanks mate. Got my Hilux 2017 sr5 done. I got it done by Andrew, from the Dandenong branch. It’s done 90k plus k’s, been averaging 10.5/100 pre tune, post tune 8.8/100- 9.1/100, amazing benefits. I absolutely love how the vehicle can accelerate and the rev gauge just sits on around 2k and sometimes even drops in revs slightly, while accelerating in speed. I decided to do a tune for fuel consumption reasons and not power reasons. However, vehicle now looses traction when I tow my trailer up hills on take off, it has never done that while towing in the past. I can not believe the fuel saving. When I get my next lux, I’m getting it done from the time the dealer hands me the key. Unfortunately, my intake was fairly dirty, so there was an additional cost to do a chemical clean to the intake manifold, all good though. Very happy with my tune, and highly recommended.

I've heard some horror stories about dyno tunes gone wrong, customers left with paper weights and a large bill. How do Ultimate Diesel Tuning work with helping out a customer should a tune result in a blown motor? Will you re-tuned it for free once the motor has been repaired? I know you say you do a pre-tune inspection. But even doing everything right, you can't plan for a motor dropping a valve or blowing a piston whilst on the dyno. After-sales service is one of those things often overlooked. So would love to know your policy around this. Cheers

Will they offer a warranty on the drivetrain for the life of the factory warranty?

Not just that. How long will the little 4 last against the v8

[@ChookChasersMX]

If you knew that what the manufacturers designed the vehicle for then you would understand that power (work) directly relates back to wear and failure rate. The 79 was designed for harder use at the upper end of its GVM and towing capacity and hence why power is purposely lower than what you might expect for a larger engine as comparing to a vehicle that’s more orientated to cruising the family up and down the highway with the occasional trailer that was clearly designed for less work. Manufacturers ultimately balance what the vehicle is designed to do with the power output to ensure a long life. Even comparing two vehicles with the same engine as the 79 and 200 series you will find that the 200 has another turbo to increase air to create the ability to add more fuel for power. The average person and what the 200 series was designed for is carting people in comfort up and down the highway with the occasional trailer and hence not expected that it will work as hard as the 79 that’s designed to be loaded up and used hard in industry which will increase the wear and failure rate. Contrary to popular belief, the same engine that is designed for harder use should have a lower power output than one used for less as it all relates back to wear and failure rate. If you want something to last longer and hence have less wear and less chance of failure then it’s as simple as lowering the power output it can do.

You talk about safe power and dynos but you fail to mention that you have grossly exceeded the maximum torque specifications for both the clutch and gearbox for that landcruiser. Without the relevant upgrades which cost thousands of dollars your actually doing more harm than good. 600nm feels great until something goes pop.

[@UltimateDieselTuning]

They are typical gains that most custom dyno tuners achieve with 70 Series Cruisers. The drivelines & gearboxes on them are very strong, never had any issues. However, the clutch must be replaced with an upgraded heavy-duty item, but that's all - the other OEM parts handle the extra torque fine.

It’s not all fuel related there’s timing boost the hole fuel table gets tweaked as well as injector pulse how they fire and a lot more I’m sure. Just going off 0 experience to but I’m sure the fuel pressure is still way up there for the vid but with the tune they are making the power more efficient over just throwing fuel at it a tune you will have a cleaner burn better better power for the fuel your using just adding fuel will soot the internals a lot quicker and kill your dfp before your next service if you have one still

So what I’m not getting here is when you get an ECU remap are you still essentially changing the rail and boost pressure?

[@kristingeorgiev3295]

Yes. And in fact the ECU is calibrated to keep a balance and when you increase the rail pressure, it will adjust all other parameters. Now I am oversimplifying the whole process, but without increasing the tolerances, the ECU can adjust only that much. It's not perfect, but it works. :) ..... until it doesn't... lol Altering the initial mapping one way or another reduces engine's lifespan more or less.

[@dainebatchelor9382]

generally injector duration is changed to allow more fuel instead of rail pressure increases. this way the pump is not working any harder. also boost is increased as fuel is added to keep the afr acceptable to avoid clogging DPFs. off the shelf tunes are in most cases ok as they are generally done by the company that makes the tuning hardware but its a bit hit and miss as this isnt always the case and results will be less than optimal as they are detuned to be on the safe side.

[@radulescu21]

@@kristingeorgiev3295 It really depends on each engine, and everyone should do their research well before a remap. There are engines out there massively undertuned. Like mine, 2.0 tdci Mondeo, it comes in 3 variants of 115, 140 and 163hp with the exact same engine, different factory maps. I had mine in 163 variant (160 on the dyno) and it's nearly 190 after a stage 1 with the torque from 365 to 410. Nothing special for a safe and smoke free stage 1. But imagine when someone gets a stage 1 for the same engine, but they start off from the 115hp variant :))) you get like 70% gains and EVERYONE will tell you it's going to blow. In fact guys with a stage 2 and higher are running just fine with 250hp on the same engine.

[@NoOne56488]

No such word as safe, age is one factor but what about maximum load each part can take? Manufacturers tune everything that is safe and reliable (for the most part) from the get go and when you add timing, boost and fuel you're putting strain in the engine that it wasn't designed for. I would only tune a engine if its been rebuilt with better internals that can handle the power gains. I would wonder what these tunes do to newer 4wds with all the anti pollution systems in place ( DPF issues is the single thing stopping me for getting a 4wd and I'm waiting for the newer petrol versions that are meant to be coming out )

"one factor but what about maximum load each part can take?" THis is a really relevant question and one that I would love to see an answer to.

Easy, on a 4wd dyno.

[@UltimateDieselTuning]

On a 4WD dyno - we have 4WD dynos installed at all of our workshops. Currently, the factory ECUs in the 2litre Everests/Rangers/Raptors are unable to be remapped. We get around this by fitting a supplementary ECU to it, which then gives us full control over the ECU & allows us to custom dyno tune it. Results vary from car to car as we do custom dyno tune every vehicle individually depending on what the car is used for & how the owner would like it tuned. On one of the 2Litre bi turbo engines, expect from a 20% gain in power & torque upwards.

[@stevespatrol]

And a ECU remap also increases rail pressure and boost and injector timing. You can’t get extra power for nothing.

[@UltimateDieselTuning]

Yes we have full control over fuel rail pressure via a remap but it is seldom used. Typically its the Torque Request and Fuel Limit tables (also known as Torque Limits) which are raised within the software to allow more fuel to be injected at high load points. A fuel rail pressure chip, only has the ability to push more fuel into the cylinder with increased pressure.

What about impacting the warranty of new vehicles?

[@UltimateDieselTuning]

Hey mate, new car warranty isn't affected. Most of the vehicles that we custom dyno tune are still under new car warranty!

[@alc7505]

@@UltimateDieselTuning so your saying that if any part of a new vehicle's engine or driveline fails, and the dealership openly knows that its putting out 50% more power and torque through a tune, that they will happily supply a replacement engine gearbox or differential at the manufacturers expense, all through warranty?

[@DiHandley]

That’s great but what about my new car warranty? Will it be affected?

[@UltimateDieselTuning]

No, most of the vehicles that we tune are still under new car warranty!

[@mattmatt9971]

It’s very likely to be affected as soon as they found it out

[@adamjones2025]

Dyno tunes are not fool proof either and can be risky. Try a more free flowing exhaust & cat system it's amazing how restrictive they can be.

[@gnomad42]

That's the modern fourby's, now what about the old ones - pre chips? 60/80/100 series cruisers, GU/GQ patrols, and stuff. Is the only option a tuner with a good ear & "Gut feeling"?

[@juliancousins6340]

You an fit an inter cooler body control and get it dynoed the results are impressive

[@thewildlifetwins8076]

Where do you recommend to go in south East Queensland to get a tune done on a older vehicle? 1HZ with aftermarket turbo

[@KR7PT]

I reckon my ML was flogged before I got it. Only had 112,000km on it but had a new clutch put in before I bought it and just had all injectors start leaking and playing up. I wonder if it was flash tuned or had a chip running in it to affect those injectors so early.

[@UltimateDieselTuning]

Possibly mate.

[@bazdervo6815]

Can those sorts of tunes be done on earlier models such as 2000 hilux?

Any discounts going ATM? I'll drive from Townsville to get mine done if the discount pays for my fuel :D

I have an 05 RA Rodeo with 90,000km. Has Isuzu 3L diesel 4JH1-TC front mount non-commonrail and 4spd auto. Makes 98kw at the flywheel - would be nice not to slow down up hills or in a strong wind! What kind of safe power gains could you guys achieve?

[@nolesy51]

In the same boat I’m looking at euro cars chip soon

[@Generalpickaname]

What about non-modern trucks? How much to turn my 80 series turbski-diesel into a trophie truck?

[@musicrecordstudio]

Ok, so I bought a chip for my Nissan D22 Navara and it's been working fine thus far. Unfortunately, the purchase and installation occurred before viewing this video. Can I, keep the chip installed yet still perform an ECU remap? 😁

[@UltimateDieselTuning]

It's one or the other mate! A remap is much better though as per this video.

[@iSlicer]

Called Ultimate Diesel Tuning twice and talked to someone in both QLD and VIC. I am in Adelaide and understand that they do collaborate with other shops in South Australia. Both times, the blokes were friendly, and told me that they would send on some info about where to go in Adelaide. I never received a call or an email. It really is hard finding someone to trust in Adelaide. Can anyone give me some on advice on who to visit here? I have a 2022 Bt-50 and will be using it early next year to tow on a big trip.

[@reece8570]

But how much boost anyone can get a car to make power

[@tylawest1111]

I’ve got a 1991 1HDT 80, and building it up from stock, plan on doing the intake,exhaust inter cooler etc. is the car to old to consider a dyno?

[@garyparizian2435]

Tyla West I’m doing the same thing to mine. And iv been looking for months

[@HendriMouton]

On these mechanical diesels you fuel according to the boost pressure the turbo can create. You're starting with the right recipe there, just note the stock CT26 is only good for 15psi reliably. I've you want quicker spool and more boost you'll have to go for a Gturbo which has been designed specially for these engines. ALWAYS check your EGT's pre turbo and make sure to never exceed 700C for long periods of time. Not every tuning shop knows how to properly tune these diesel motors so make sure you do your research before hand. If they don't measure AFR and EGTs when tuning I'd stay clear away.

[@user-hf3rq1dg9d]

@@HendriMouton yeah gturbo is the only turbo that would ever possibly work. Not.

[@douglasyong6939]

Is the recommended course of action to firstly chip it and then dyno tune?

[@JonpaulWhitehead]

I have a 2002 mitsubishi shogun sport 2.5td and would like a bit more power from my truck however there does not seem to be any options available other than the genuine ralliart chip which are few and far between are there any sutions you know of that I can do i am in England so popping down to you guys is not an option any advice would be appreciated. Thank you in advance

[@jarrodwareham4565]

Yer this is for new diesels but u can't on older mechanical diesels so how do u make more power on older diesels

[@dav4x487]

Wind out the fuel screw on the pump lol. But in all seriousness, it can be done but be careful.

[@robbillington2908]

By changing turbo and fuel pump plus a dyno

[@888johnmac]

@@robbillington2908 .. yeah pretty much bolt on's .. bigger turbo , intercooler , higher flow injectors & wind out the fuel pump .. the trick is how far to wind it out

[@scaredyet]

Can we tune straight from dealership or run the engine in first for say 5000kms

[@UltimateDieselTuning]

Straight from the dealership mate! We have dealerships drop brand new vehicles off for us for dyno tuning.

[@FoxMcScrooge]

So if I get a tune, what happens when I take the car to the dealer for service? Do they remap back to standard?

[@UltimateDieselTuning]

Not generally.

[@joshlomby649]

Love these videos

[@theswdshchef4936]

Heyy Shauno and Graham. Big 4wd Action and diesel fan here. 05’ model Rodeo long wheel base 3.0itd with 350k on the clock and only had to replace the battery and alternator once. Love watching the dmax and 0$Suk lines through gnarly tracks! Just wondering if you guys could chat a bit about the vis system you guys use? Is the app similar? If I purchase the app will it run off satellite nav or my data? Are there saved preset 4wd tracks in the software? Cheers, Taz

[@norsehall309]

Hi two questions, How frequent to you have to tune or is it a one off and do you have a branch in Victoria or Vic - NSW border area, cheers, Neil.

[@UltimateDieselTuning]

Hi mate, it's a once off, unless you perform other engine modifications after the tune - then it will need to be retuned in most cases. And yes we have an Ultimate Diesel Tuning performance centre in Dandenong. Please give us a call 1800034373.

[@topherrex4632]

Have UDT done any Jeeps? Grand Cherokee 3L TD for towing. Also I've read your comments stating it's illegal for a manufacturer to void a warranty due to a remap, can you supply some documentation verifying that please and, surely with Nm increases of over 100% it would appear on face value to be a sound reason for the manufacturer to dump your warranty. Thanks.

[@UltimateDieselTuning]

Hey mate, yes we have done heaps of Jeeps. Give us a buzz on 1800034373 so we can answer your questions for you...

Why are chips so expensive in Australia?, tdi tuning uk and other chips like it only charge about 350 euros and that's with boost controler

[@mohammedmuzakkir9803]

Do reckon putting bigger tyres, adding weight to the vehicle will affect the power output of a vehicle

[@UltimateDieselTuning]

Yes it sure does. But it doesn't affect the actual power & torque gains achieved by the tuner.

[@Darndiddlyarn]

78kw and 255nm from a 4.5 turbo v8? What the hell toyota, I thought you'd changed.

Except look at the size of the tyres on the bloody thing... that’s what has killed the power

@@xotic8617 the triton looks like it running 33s which also isn't standard. I love the cruiser but that V8 is not what it could have been.

[@Darndiddlyarn]

@@xotic8617 our shorty with a stock standard TD42 and auto on 35s lays down 54kw at the wheels, a 4.5 turbo v8 with common rail should be more than a 50% power increase over an old forklift powered troll.

[@ramonedallas4200]

@@xr6tgtx737 tyre size does make a difference, but the rolling resistance from 33s to 35s is not enough to see a decrease of 30hp and 80nm. Majority of the time the gearing is how you calculate the loss of power in the translation to it reaching the tires.

[@SteveRivett]

They all leave the factory with the same tune. I would think a well done universal tune would be OK, especially if they spent a couple days on a dyno doing it.

[@UltimateDieselTuning]

Every engine is different mate & everyone drives their cars differently. This is why it is crucial that what you are doing for your car is for YOUR engine/car, not someone else's!

[@jonlight84]

What happens to fuel economy when you do those custom tunes?

[@anthonyramdin1037]

The fuel economy is supposed to improve since you have more low down power which means that the engine does not work as hard to keep you cruising at say 80 on the highway as compared to a pre tune

[@UltimateDieselTuning]

@@anthonyramdin1037 correct!

[@richsmout550]

You were talking about pre inspection, do you ever recommend the terra clean for diesels? Is it safe

Very informative video there mates

[@glenmccarthy7913]

Shauno , with a re map - what happens when the power button near gear stick is used , does it change engine coding or only gear box response on revs. 200 series 2016 model L C .

[@UltimateDieselTuning]

It doesn't affect the different modes, Glen. The PWR buttons on the LandCruisers & Hiluxes are like throttle controllers, so they actually do not give your car anymore extra power or torque, they just change the calibration of the throttle. We are releasing a video on our Ultimate Diesel Tuning KZbin channel on throttle controllers next Tuesday at 4pm that you might want to watch!
