What this engine has actually gained

One chart per version of the engine, because the same code is not the same job. The years and the vehicle it went into change what it makes standard and what there is to find. Each chart is a single vehicle: a standard run the day it arrived, and the best run after the work, in 4th gear.

The stages

Stage 1

adds service, intake clean and tune

from $2,790.00parts, tune and servicing, everything in Stage 1

Get a fitted quote

Service, clean and tune. We service the engine properly, chemically clean the intake and EGR, then write a map to the engine as it actually is on the day: fuel, timing and boost read off our own dyno rather than off a file somebody emailed us.

Most of what you feel is low down, between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm, which is where a loaded 4WD lives on a hill or in sand.

The work in the price

  • Custom Dyno Tune, Stage 1 and 2$1,250.00
  • 4WD Minor Service$660.00
  • Intake and EGR chemical clean, V8 dual intake$880.00

Hover or tap the chart to read both curves at any speed.

The standard run below it is one 4.5L 1VD-FTV V8, 200 Series, measured at the wheels on our own dyno, corrected to DD ATMC3 (factor 1.025), 26°C ambient, 2WD, in 4th gear.

The upper curve is 50% of what that same 4WD gained: the share a calibration carries before the exhaust and the intercooler go on. We dyno a vehicle as it arrives and again when the work is done, never once per stage, so this rung is worked out rather than measured.

Stage 2 Power

adds intake, for power

Stage 1 plus the intake.

The measured vehicle. The nearest result our dyno has measured for Stage 2 Power is the 4.5L 1VD-FTV V8, 200 Series chart above.

Stage 2 Towing

would add intercooler and transmission cooler, for towing

No intercooler or transmission cooler is listed in this stage for the 1VD-FTV. Ask us. There may be another way to get there.

Stage 3

adds high-flow injectors and a bigger turbo

The point where the hardware sets the ceiling instead of the map. High-flow injectors put in more fuel than the factory ones can pass, and a larger turbo puts in enough air to burn it cleanly rather than making smoke.

This is a fitting job with a tune around it, not a bolt-on. It wants supporting work (cooling, clutch or converter, sometimes the fuel pump) and we will say so before anything comes apart.

A build, not a package. Larger injectors and a larger turbo again, which is where the standard bottom end, the driveline and the cooling all start needing to be part of the conversation.

Sold for off-road, closed-circuit and private property use where it touches the DPF. We will tell you which side of that line your vehicle sits on before any work starts.

Before you choose a stage

Stage 1 and 2 stay road legal provided the exhaust is DPF-back where the vehicle has a DPF. Anything that touches the DPF is not road legal and is sold for off-road, closed-circuit and private property use. We will tell you which side of that line your build sits on before any work starts.

GTurbo offer G333, G380, G400, G450 for this engine, and injectors at +95%, +100%. A bigger step than the stages above is a conversation, not a checkout.
