TUNING THE 200 SERIES | NOW IT'S A BEAST!

[@jacquesD4D]

Marnus did al3 my D4D's and man its machines. My Fortuner was done by someone way back and it was a joke. Did it with HM and it was a game changer. He was busy for 2 days with my L45 recently because it did make any power. Got the problem and man its a beast now. The mapping also sorts out the auto box shifting and makes it alot better. Cruise control is a breeze now with the auto. They do it right

[@EdwardBath]

That’s for sure mate! Service is next level!

New subscriber from New Zealand, but originally from Zimbabwe and South Africa. We love your videos, they remind us of Africa. I discovered your channel a week ago. Good videos keep it up.

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks for the sub! And support!

I watched Ed's video and went to the same guys in Edenvale. I tried 2 other tuners and long-story-short it was a waste of money. I took my 2018 new shape prado 3.0 d4d All I can say is Marnus is a very professional guy. Explains virtually everything and how he is going to help you. They have one of the latest 4x4 dynos and they properly do a before and after tune reading. Explain what you want to.Marnus and he will help you. A I can say is the tune finally worked....I'm getting the REALISTIC fuel economy I wanted. Marnus is going to write a performance file as well and asked me to test it. But honestly I'm over the moon. The professionalism and service is amazing R4.5k well spent

[@EdwardBath]

That’s awesome to hear mate! HM Auto and Marnus all the way!

[@resegobaboditse1809]

am so inspired by your trips to botswana ,Because of you have started traveling my home country botswana more.thank you so much Ed

[@davidporter2770]

Love watching and listening to you talking and showing us vehicle and trailer upgrades. Fascinating. Thanks Ed. 🇿🇦

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks David!

[@shaunmoller2997]

Ed the 200 series is now a beast thanks for sharing

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks Shaun!

[@christoffe390]

Great that you could get it back the original power considering all the weight we add to these vehicles (and better consumption is even better). Cool vid mate!

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks Chris!

[@renierdutoit1]

Eendag as ek groot is ry ek ook so masjien! 👍👍👍 Well done!

[@HoneyBadgerFarm]

I did a similar tune on my 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 3.0L V6 Mercedes Diesel engine. This vehicle is a rare breed but was offered worldwide in the years 2007 and 2008. People who drive gasoline powered vehicles will never understand how brilliant a proper Diesel engine is. Torque makes a huge difference when towing, especially in wear and tear on the transmission. I have seen people pulling similar weight in Toyota 4Runners have multiple downshifts, from 5th to 3rd gear while my Jeep maintains speed in 5th gear. Less noise, less wear and tear on the transmission. Also engine braking means less brake wear. Diesels rock!

[@EdwardBath]

They certainly do!

[@akivacohen5802]

Thanks for all the videos Ed. What about a tune on the 100 series ?

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks! Nope I’m leaving it standard🙏

[@johndiaz7240]

Sounds like the power is intoxicating, good for you.

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks John!

[@Natures_Symmetry]

I wonder if this ECU mapping can be done on a petrol/gas LC200 and if it helps anything?

[@willem932]

Hi Ed, are you still happy with the mapping of the vehicle and exhaust upgrade. Any side effect’s in the long run especially on the reliability and warranty from Toyota.

[@murraydicks9784]

Happy new year Ed. Are you still happy with your remap? Would you still recommend HM Auto?

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks Murray! Yes very happy 🙏

[@maxlodewyk_na]

Looking forward to the new build.

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks Max!

[@gavinsmith28]

Hi Ed, very interesting, as always. I know it’s late and I’m tired, but I can’t see link too service providers, could you pls repost in reply? Thanks, Gavin

[@gavinsmith28]

PS Link takes me to a panel beater….

[@EdwardBath]

Sure Gavin! Thanks for the support! www.hmauto.co.za

[@zoeherringer3824]

i love he your v8 😍

[@garethhayward7710]

Hi Ed l have a diesel 6 troopy definitely need more power when overtaking is a uni chip worth while or what would you suggest. Thanks love your travels gary port Elizabeth

[@EdwardBath]

Hey mate! I wouldn’t suggest a chip purely from what I’ve heard and mates that have had major issues when fitting them. Rather look at an ECU Remap or good old fashioned mechanical tuning

[@garethhayward7710]

@@EdwardBath thanks Ed for the advice, cheers Gary

[@ktn8381]

Love from india brother please bring your home vlog

[@aadilcage2227]

Thanks for sharing, what a beast! What suspension setup are you running again?

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks for watching! They are old man emu BP51s and they are incredible!

[@Liam_G-Vosloo]

Beautiful

[@4WheelingSA]

Very interesting video Ed. Do you know the cost of such an upgrade? (Also considering the exhaust upgrade). You did it the right way with the Exhaust first. Getting rid of the heat enables you to do the tune.

[@bhupeshvala]

HENK....I watched Ed's video and went to the same guys in Edenvale. I tried 2 other tuners and long-story-short it was a waste of money.

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks Henk! It’s around the R5k mark

[@desmondoneill7299]

Hi Ed, We are going to Botselano, never heard of the place, but after watching you we have decided to visit there this week. I know some of the roads are horrendous, From Pretoria which route do you take??

[@EdwardBath]

Hi Desmond! I’ve never come from that side but none of the roads to Botsalano are too bad 🙌

[@grantflattery1971]

A torque converter lock up controller must be next 👍🏻

[@antonievanwyk8942]

Feel saving with my stock lock torque converter made the biggest difference. Did all Ed did (Viper and Tune) but torque converter still biggest fuel savings. Doing 120km/hr on gps (not car speedometer) trip over full tank range gives average 12L/100km on car gauge. Actual slightly higher when calculating maybe 13.2L/100km.

[@EdwardBath]

At some point definitely 🙌🙌

[@antster7]

Can we get a tour of your LC200?

[@Liam_G-Vosloo]

Would be nice to do this with an fj

[@EdwardBath]

Would be a beast for sure!

[@louisuhhh_4546]

What are the power mods? Nice vid 😁

[@jacquesandre3876]

What is you average fuel consumption after the mapping? When you are not loaded and on a trip to botswana.

[@jacquesandre3876]

Meaning empty an not on any trip... basically daily driving?

[@EdwardBath]

15L/100kms

[@akselwestby8353]

👍 .

[@paulsmit8147]

🤙👍

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks mate!
