Landcruiser 70 Series 2.8L Diesel Tune

Built for work. Tuned to do it properly.

The 70 Series has always been the Landcruiser people buy to get a job done. The 1GD 2.8 litre four-cylinder now under the bonnet is a proven engine, with the same core design that powers the HiLux, Prado and Fortuner. In the 70 Series it’s working harder than in any of them: it’s moving a heavy, square-edged vehicle, often loaded to the hilt or towing up to its full 3,500kg.

That’s where our tune makes the biggest difference. It gives the 1GD the extra power and torque it needs for the work a 70 Series is bought to do.

More torque, more response, less effort

Our calibration lifts power and torque through the rev range. The biggest gains come low and in the midrange, where a 70 Series spends most of its life. Throttle response is sharper, overtaking takes less planning, and hills that used to drag the engine down are dealt with far more easily.

You’ll feel it most when the 70 is working hard: towing, carrying a full tray, or climbing long highway grades with a load behind it. The engine stays in its sweet spot rather than labouring, and the whole vehicle feels more capable and less strained.

Power figures for this tune are on the Power Figures tab.

Automatic and manual

We tune both the 6-speed automatic and the 5-speed manual 1GD 70 Series. With either gearbox, the extra torque means fewer downshifts and better pull from lower revs, and the car is far easier to drive when it’s loaded up.

Proven on the 1GD platform

We’ve spent years tuning the 1GD across the HiLux, Prado and Fortuner. That experience goes into our 70 Series calibration, which has been refined for this vehicle’s weight, gearing and the work it does.

Done the way Toyota does it

We reprogram the engine control unit through the OBD port, the same way Toyota programs it. There are no chips, piggyback modules or cut wires, and nothing comes out of the vehicle. It’s one remap, written for Australian conditions and the way these vehicles are actually used.

Trusted around the world

Our tunes are fitted to vehicles across Victoria and Australia, and we’ve sold them to owners around the world. The 70 Series tune is built to the same standard: more capability, without asking you to change how you drive.

Please note

• Due to the increase in power and torque on these vehicles, they cannot be remapped without an upgraded clutch. If you do not have an upgraded clutch, your vehicle will require our Stage 2 package.
• Before and after figures are engine figures. They are calculated by applying the percentage gain achieved on our dyno to the manufacturer’s quoted power and torque, and are based on vehicles running standard wheels and tyres. They are provided as a guide only.
• Results vary between vehicles depending on kilometres, engine condition, modifications fitted, and wheel and tyre size. The before and after dyno print-outs supplied with each tune show figures measured at the wheels, which will be lower than engine figures. Larger or heavier wheels and tyres will reduce measured figures further.
• Vehicles must be in good mechanical condition prior to tuning. Increases in power on high-kilometre engines are assessed case by case.
• Additional parts and labour may be required where worn or faulty components are identified, and these will be quoted before any work proceeds.
• Prices are subject to change without notice. Images are for illustration purposes only.
