2012 Toyota Hilux
3.0L 4-Cylinder D4D Diesel ECU Remap
147,000 km on the clock — and this Hilux auto just found 49 more horsepower. The ECU was the bottleneck all along.

Calibration detail
What We Optimised
With 147,000 km clocked, this 2012 Toyota Hilux 3.0L D4D automatic is a proven workhorse. Stock wheel output of just 105hp and 268Nm tells a story of extreme factory conservatism — not a tired engine. The 1KD-FTV is mechanically capable of far more.
A custom ECU remap dialling in boost, fuel delivery, cam timing, lambda and pedal response freed up 49hp and 110Nm at the wheels — a 47% power increase and 41% torque gain. These are among the strongest percentage gains we regularly see in this vehicle class.
Post-dyno this high-kilometre Hilux auto produces 154hp and 378Nm — now competitive with modern diesel utes and dramatically more capable on the highway and under load. High mileage and strong remapping results are not mutually exclusive.
Raised and shaped to match the compressor map — no surge, no lag
Common rail pressure optimised for combustion efficiency across the rev range
Injection timing advanced at mid-range for better torque response
Air-fuel ratio monitored and calibrated on the dyno — not estimated
Throttle response recalibrated — no dead spot off idle, linear and predictable
Conservative exhaust gas temperature ceiling maintained throughout
Properly calibrated combustion means less fuel burned to reach the same torque at cruise. Most owners report 8–15% better highway fuel economy after the remap — with no hardware changes required.
Every remap is verified on our in-house Mainline dyno. You receive the actual before/after charts with your car's numbers.
Your factory file is backed up before we start. We can restore the original tune any time — for dealer service or trade-in.
Stock exhaust, stock injectors, stock turbo. All gains come from the calibration — nothing on your car needs to change.

Got my Ranger PX2 tuned here. Massive difference in throttle response and pulls way harder up hills with the caravan. Workshop is spotless and the lads explain everything. Worth every cent.
Booked online, dropped the car off in the morning, picked it up after work. Honest quote, no upsell, and the difference in my Q5 is night and day on the freeway.
Drove down from the Central Coast for these guys and it was worth every km. Smoother, stronger, and using less fuel on my run home. Highly recommend to anyone with a diesel.
Had my LandCruiser 200 Series tuned. Completely transformed — towing my horse float is effortless now. These guys know diesels inside out. Factory file backed up, zero risk.
BMW X5 30d done. Was nervous about voiding warranty but they explained everything, backed up the original file, and the result on the freeway is outstanding. Fuel economy actually improved.
My D-Max had a DPF and remap done the same day. No drama, no upsell, dyno sheets handed over when I picked up. The before/after numbers speak for themselves.
