Another GU Patrol ZD30 DI in for a dyno tune. This one was pretty standard with just a 3" exhaust and aftermarket boost controller.

If you compare this car with the one we did last week with highflow injectors you'll see the difference having the extra fuel injection capacity in the peak gains as well as the gains we can achieve in the top end.

It still made considerable gains especially in the bottom end and midrange where they need it the most.
Peak gains of approximately 17kW and 160Nm make it so much more responsive and reduce the need to change down gears as often to climb hills etc.

This stock GU Patrol ZD30 DI received a set of +30% highflow injectors and some time to stretch its legs on the dyno.

The Direct Injected ZD30s run out of fuel injector pretty quickly even on a standard setup. Installing highflow injectors gives us the ability to give them the fuel they ask for.

Peak gains of around 35kW and 180Nm made this car pleasant to drive.

We aren't all Nissan here at Border Tuning even though some months it feels like it!

A 1GDFTV Toyota Hilux came with the owner looking for some more power and an ECU based solution to his turbo back exhaust upgrade.

We sorted out his highflow turbo back exhaust with the remap and along with a tune made some nice improvements to drive-ability with an extra 20kW and 100Nm peak.

Another GU Patrol ZD30 CRD in with a large HPD Top Mount Intercooler and a UFI ZL30 Turbo.

This already had a dyno tune in it from another business when it had the stock turbo and intercooler which is why the baseline is a little higher in power than i'd normally expect for a first run. The original tune didn't have great gains which is why the torque value to pretty low.

Asking around 28PSI from the ZL30 and matching it with fuelling we had ourselves some solid gains and another happy customer with peak gains of around 40kW and 200Nm.

A GU Patrol with a ZD30 CRD engine on the dyno with a Dats Cool front mount intercooler, UFI ZL30 Turbo, 3" Exhaust and Tillix kit.

As you can see even with those mods the power output doesn't change much from stock. That's where a remap comes in. We can increase boost and fuelling to increase our power and torque output.

This car left making an extra 45kW and 210Nm peak on about 28PSI with nice safe AFRs. This combination makes these things drive so much nicer than stock.

Had a Nissan GU Patrol ZD30DI in the shop for a dyno tune. Initially equipped with a fuel chip, we first ran it on the dyno to assess its performance.
After removing the chip, we ran it in its stock form, noting only a small power gain and a power loss from the fuel chip. We attributed this to poor boost control.

Our solution?
We installed an HPD boost controller and performed a tune.

While the torque values off the brake appear high, it's important to note that this is an automatic, and the torque converter doesn't lock up until midway through the pull.

The result?
Solid power and torque gains that are sure to bring a smile, especially in these hefty vehicles. Drive on with newfound confidence!

A 2023 Toyota Hilux GR recently graced our dyno for a comprehensive tune-up. While these models come with some power straight from the factory, there's often room for improvement. Working through the challenges posed by the auto transmission on the dyno, we successfully fine-tuned the performance.

With the additional power and torque, this Hilux GR is now geared up for an even more enjoyable driving experience.

Please note that the torque peak values aren't accurate. Note the gains only.

Embrace the road ahead with enhanced performance!

A Nissan GU Patrol ZD30DI traveled all the way from WA, leaving its caravan behind due to a frustrating limp mode issue preventing towing with caravan over 70kmhr on the flat. This owner had experienced a series of unsuccessful mechanic visits, each attempting a different fix.

It's a common scenario that we come across - mechanics trying their best but sometimes making matters worse by thinking they know the solution.

The primary culprit was a recently installed positive pressure VNT actuator, which we promptly replaced with a factory vacuum-operated actuator and added an HPD VNT boost controller. Additionally, we removed the problematic fuel chip and opted for a remap.

While the difference on the dyno graph between the chip and remap may not appear substantial, it took about 10 dyno pulls to ensure it ran without hitting limp mode with the chip. Boost was initially low, resulting in rich AFRs and high EGTs.

Post-remap, we managed to increase boost, generate more torque, lower EGTs, and most importantly, provide the owner with the ability to safely tow the caravan.
Drive on confidently!

A Nissan Navara D22 ZD30 recently rolled in from Adelaide for a dyno tune.
The only modification was a 3" exhaust, but our tuning session resulted in solid gains that will certainly make a difference when hauling the trailer they towed in. Unfortunately, we missed capturing a photo of the car on the dyno this time around. Drive on, and enjoy the enhanced performance!
