It could make a difference but we would have to import a lock up kit ,not sure what it would cost , I know om the pre facelift hiluxes there were guys bringing in the kits and they also made a big difference in power delivery after tuning , since the converter pulls power when it starts slipping

Is it the egr vacuum regulator ? Here in SA the guys bypass the egr with the remap so basically it does not work anymore ,otherwise you can do a egr blank off, if it is that what you are talking about

What’s happening exactly is that on the dyno the car runs well then suddenly has a dip on the dyno graph, struggling with that at the moment. Tried everything, reseting it today to factory then test what’s what if all fails we want to drop the tank and see if it’s dirty

Just unfortunate I can’t send pics here 😂

N goeie remap is altyd beter en meer betroubaar as n chip , die ouens wat se hulle het issues met die remap weet dan nie mooi wat hulle doen nie , aangesien n hele paar ouens dit al kan doen , maar as jy moet chip sal ek net die unichip x gebruik , hy is n duurder chip maar ordentlik en werk goed , maar ook net by ouens wat weet wat hulle doen , sodra n ou se hy kan nie n remap doen of het issues daarmee op n voertuig wat baie ander dealers gemaklik kan doen ,is dit n vir my reeds biki van n waarskuwing , dit is my opinie ,maar ons doen ook hierdie al vir 10jaar en het ons lesse geleer

So the exhaust you looking at about 8k and then the remap is 4.5k , the turbo was about 12.5k and then the snorkel kit if I remember correctly is 11k

Very interesting, Airbox and charge cooler price?

It comes out with the charge cooler , that is what is causing the issue ,which is limiting us with the tuning

Airbox is roughly 15k

@@maplotter684 Already stage 2 mapped , with exaust. Where can this be done ?

Halo , ja dit is darem baie veilig , dit is dieselfde motor as die hilux en fortuner so n remap en exhaust is nog baie veilig , ons het geen issues nie , jy moet net ook natuurlik na n goeie dealer toe gaan vir dit en nie net enigeiemand nie, n ou wat net file laai en niks weet nie sal jou motor op foeter

@@MarkOConnor-w1w in SA the cruiser comes out with a shorter 2nd and 5th gear so basically we just put the Aussie spec gears in , same as the bonnet we get a different bonnet aswell

Sofar there have been zero issues ,only needed to upgrade my clutch but that is needed just with a proper remap and exhaust since the original is useless

@@tonyf7997 that is probably true , but it is nice to have though

@ - 800 is more than adequate….. and still super safe!

I put the safari armax package on mine after 3years. It certainly made a difference in torque, and in NZ I found out it had to be certified as the law was worried the emissions system had been by-passed. I took the system out again to get an injector arm and sensor replaced. Have since sold the cruiser as I no longer need it.

@@tonyf7997 800 feels good until you get in one making 900 then its not enough and once you go in one making over 1000nm then you want that , if you do the mods right ,it is also safe

This is actually the same type of power shown by many dynos there in OZ the only difference is here we work on flywheel power where there you guys usually go on power at the wheels , alot of people here do not get the consept of power at the wheels and then think the tuner is not making good power so that is why most of then stick to flywheel power

​@maplotter684 how do you check the power at the flywheel?

That's what I thought. Strange

@@plug007 you do it on the dyno ,same way you do the power on the wheels , its a setting that you change on the dyno itself to show power at the wheels and then the flywheel ,all manufactures quote flywheel power like the hilux that is 150kw and 500nm , that is flywheel so at the wheels it probably makes around 130kw and 400nm

@@mohammedmuzakkir9803 gearbox is fine , I did put a heavy duty exedy clutch kit in to handle the torque , if you go past 1200nm then I would say you have to do the flywheel upgrade aswell

His cruiser is probably over boosting , we are still far from maxing out the turbo , this is a safe tune peaking at 2 bar and pulling back to 1.95, the g350 is built to handle up to 2.3bar and keeping it there ,if I was your mate I would go to another tuner . This is just my opinion but if he is blowing Gturbos then there is definately something wrong with the tune or he did not do the supporting mods

Thanks bud

@@cyclemoto8744 no problem , thanks for watching

I like to keep my revs between 2100 and 3000rpm , remember with the bigger turbo there is a bit of lag ,even though you have enough torque at lower rpm it just drives better between 2000 and 3000rpm

@@lesliedreyer Baie dankie, waardeer dit!

@@RadiesTheWorldILiveIn Hi , are you from SA or where are you based bud ? Basically the setup is DCS shocks , Terrain tamer smart coils but the soft ones and then OME leafsprings , also the softest ones.

@ yep in South Africa Centurion, so store / contact or recommended shop and installer?

@RadiesTheWorldILiveIn the guy we use is in piet retief MP , they are closed now and open on the 10th of Jan if I remember correctly, he can probably courier it to you or you can make a trip of it ? I think its about 320km from you

If you build the v8 in the right way , you could be in a hurry and easily beat the 2.8 ,but std vs std the 2.8 takes the cake

I think it all depends on how much stress you put on the motor , the 2.8 is a good motor but if you are pushing high performance figures and have fitted large wheels and you let it work hard every day , then I think the v8 would outlast the 2.8 ,but just as a work vehicle and kept std then the 2.8 would do just aswell as the v8

As far as I know they do not but it is also becoming a thing so maybe in the future they are all going to have it

Its not an ego thing ,its preference for eg some guys like Isuzu and others hilux ? You dont tell the isuzu guy he has an ego ? So why do v8 owners have one for liking it more than the 2.8? In my opinion if you want the 2.8 why not buy the hilux for cheaper and have less maintenance costs ? It just makes sense ,but I guess some guys just dont want the v8 cruiser so thats their choice

@@Andrew-hu1bx you probably own a 2.8

😂😂

V8 is an underpowered piece of crap,so they're a good pair

Have you even driven one

@@DestroyerOfLiberals got one mate,it's amazing how it can burn so much fuel for so little power

I was also hoping for a better motor , but its the one we got ,we are working on one to see the results of a ecu tune and exhaust , will post the vid once its done

The V8 is the most disappointing, underpowered pile of shit ever. And you are trying to say the 2.8 is bad...wtf

That would have been one of the best combos to have , there are guys here that are doing the rebuild with a 6 speed auto and then the zf 8 speed

Except when it meets a FTE

Yea they don’t come without their share of issues either! I agree with old mate FTE is the top of the food chain!

It is a nice truck , stay tuned injectors are incoming next week for more power

It is still a bit faster than that of the v8 ,but not enough to cause issues on something like this , but like we said in the vid ,if your are going to do heavy offroading then slower is better

@@adriang450 it is the g350 turbo

@ epic! Very cool vehicle. Any idea what KW it puts down?. What spots are those?

@@adriang450 yes it is verry close to 300kw and 100nm , I want to do injectors ,that would take it to about 330kw and 1150nm, the spots are stedi spots

@@maplotter684 Great. Which of the stedi spots did you go for?

@@adriang450 type x 8.5inch ,they work really well and have good beam distance

@@MartinAlva yes it does , but even with that activated the speed it to high for a steep decent , for example the 2.8s speed is almost the same as the v8 in second gear low range, which makes it a bit to quick for comfort when doing heavy inclines and declines

Hill decent is using the brakes. You go down a decent hill and you’ll have no brakes, they’ll be cooking. Won’t last long in the Victorian high country.

It wont, since 2016 or so toyota diesel are rarely making it past the 250,000 mark. theyre riding off their old reputation.

@@KenMcKinnon-c4r yes that would be a verry interesting comparison ,unfortunately we still have a long way to go since both vehicles are only on 15k kms

@@arandomm-t8s interesting , in our town alone we have several land cruisers and hilux and fortuner ,even prados with between 400k kms and 600k kms , but yes I do know that there are also guys having issues in less than 15k kms , like with any brand there will be duds which give issues unfortunately

@@maplotter684plenty in oz with very high kms since the 2.8 was introduced in 2016 in the hilux

@@Col.B1 I agree with you , the straight 6 diesel just refuses to die ,if you do maintanence regularly , we have personally had 2 of them reaching 750 000kms as work vehicles ,then one was stolen and we sold the other so they are maybe still going , the v8 I know of two in our town with 600 000kms on and then plenty with 250 000+ kms ,but I am yet to see one pass 700k kms

I’ve got 4 cyl 70 series from 1993 and it’s done over 400,000 km on its original engine and drivetrain.

@@whynot0969 but its not just keeping up though , its whipping ass

@@maplotter684 that’s even worse for it, don’t you think ?

@@oldskoolchevy1593 agree old school 👍, I don’t have any faith in any new cars, even Toyotas, and I’ve had 10 of them

@@whynot0969 I dont think so there are alot of 2.8 motors here with 500 000kms and more on , there are 2 in our town with almost 600k kms on and no issues ,just rutine maintenance like with any motor is important , the only issue that we have found is the charge cooler on the 2.8 cruiser does limit your gains when tuning and adding extra power , but once the guys sort that out with a upgrade then we can take it further and make more power reliably

Our 2.8 has done over 15 000kms with the tune and exhaust , we have not had any issues and have towed boats and caravans , also done alot of bush driving with zero issues , it could maybe be the tuner on your side trying to push the power figures to much ,which then causes higher temps

@@maplotter684 ITS FOR SALE AS WE SPEAK

@@Silvos29 and over here there are 100s of v8 cruisers for sale , doesnt mean something is wrong with them

@maplotter684 in Australia, my V8 just doubled in price 🥶

You have no idea what you’re talking about.

So the problem with the 2.8 is the new charge cooler which is limiting the gains with a gturbo at the moment ,so it just is not worth the money, but we are going to do a hybrid which would give the same amount of gains compared to a g300 and then we will do another vid

That's interesting info, very keen to see how you go with the hybrid and development with this engine overtime 👍

@@Chucky-l1p once the guys have sorted out the cooling on the motor then we can look at getting some impressive gains like with a g300 but because of the limitations at the moment the hybrid is more bang for buck, but there are 2.8 motors making above 260kw and 800nm ,which would be awesome in the cruiser

Wow that's impressive numbers, will stay tuned for how you guys go over there. Here in Australia I believe the tuners are chasing the same solution as you described

@@Chucky-l1p yes we see that just autos is trying to find a solution over there by you guys and hopefully then the guys over here can also get one

@@LukeMitchley the 2.8 is really impressive , the auto box does make a big difference and then the v8 is also on a verry safe tune , so it only gets max boost from 4th gear , so basically it starts to pull on the 2.8 from about 100kph and up , but before that the 2.8 beats it through the gears

Currently we have done about 15k kms on the 2.8 with some towing and then alot of bush driving , we have not yet had any issues like that ,but will keep am eye out ,thanks for the heads up

No it doesn’t

@@colinfwalters want to make a bet? My mate tows a boat with the 2.8 and it overheats a lot. its for sale already

@@Silvos29 I crossed the Simpson desert in mine, lot of sand driving there, with no problems. I own one, you don’t.

@@colinfwalters nah cause i own the V8

Soos hy gese het, daai ding trek moer toe.

The 2.8 is an auto and the v8 is a manual ,so to compensate for the kick down the v8 was left in gear at a bit lower rpm so it also needed a little time for boost but when both pull at full throttle the gap grows gradually which is why he said roughly the same
