N70 HILUX — LESS BOOST, LESS SMOKE, BETTER RESPONSE 🔥
This N70 Hilux came in for a retune after previously being tuned elsewhere. The owner’s main concerns were excessive turbo lag and heavy smoke.
We ran it on our dyno with the existing tune to see exactly what was happening:
❌ 35 PSI boost
❌ AFR as low as 14:1
❌ Turbo coming on extremely late
❌ Excessive smoke and poor drivability
After recalibrating the ECU, we achieved:
✅ Peak boost by 1,800 RPM
✅ Strong, consistent torque throughout the rev range
✅ AFR improved to a much cleaner 16.5:1
✅ Boost reduced from 35 PSI to 32 PSI
✅ The same peak power—with far better response and less smoke
Final result: 241 HP and 598 Nm at the wheels on 33-inch tyres, through the automatic transmission with the torque converter locked.
More boost doesn’t always mean more power. The correct calibration makes all the difference.
Proven results. Proven performance. No guesswork.
