Re: Toyota Motorsport - Diesel Performace Kit

Hi Dock, I have had a look on my weight figures, which I previously just estimated.
However they do come in a lot lower than my 3400Kg.
(some of the figures below are still estimated)

Toyota LandCruiser LC3 D4D KDJ120 Weights in (Kg's)
Vehicle Full tank & all fluids 2170
95L Auxiliary Tank & Fuel 100
70L Water & Tank 85
Driver & Navigator 160
6 heavy duty Steel Wheels + BFGoodrich add extra 100
Magiolina Rooftent & Awning 75
Rear Twin Wheel Carrier 120
ARB Winch Bumper 59
Warn Winch 25
HighLift Jack 15
RockSliders / Air Receivers 25
Spare JerryCan & Fuel 22
Recovery Gear 30
Radio, computer, UnderBody Protection 15
Stove, Cooking Gear, Provisions & Clothing 30
Fire Extinguisher, Binoculars, Torches e.t.c. 16
Tools, Spares, Oil, Coolant & other spare Fluids 28
OldMan Enu Suspension ??
WaterPump, Compressor, Driving & Work lights 5
Total 2980
I shall go for the exhaust job first ,and if needed then modify the Diff-Ratios.

Cheers Jorgen

Point taken about the earlier release of the D4D in UK.

I recall that the VX had a mass of about 1930kg and a 900kg load limit. That means a GVM of 2830kg in Oz anyway. I remember in the specifications that the GXL had a higher vehicle mass and thus lower load capacity. If you are at 3400kg Jorgen you are about 500kg over the vehicles recommended working limit. All things being equal that is - unless of course you change suspension etc. I don't think the chip can offer you that much with all that extra weight on board.

Looks like your Prado needs all the help it can get - 3 inch dump pipe, 3 inch free flowing exhaust with sport muffler and if you have it over there how about a LPG/Diesel conversion as well? The LPG adds about another 20% torque.

Good luck and enjoy that trip.
Cheers

Re: Toyota Motorsport - Diesel Performace Kit

Just a quick update - 1000km around outback SA with all the gear onboard and rooftop tent, (which I really notice with some wind resistance). Fuel economy 10.1L/100kms. Got to be happy with that.

Is that with or without gas?

Re: Toyota Motorsport - Diesel Performace Kit

Hi leachy - no gas - had a bit of the probelm with the LPG gas pulse wire from the back of the alternator -it fused and actually fried the alternator. Not happy about that - when they installed the LPG system they took a wire from the back of the alternator - it was held in place with silicon (why would you do that - surely a rubber grommet is the right way to do things!) The silicon degraded over time, the wire moved around, the wire insulation wore thru and then the output of the alternator arced thru the wire to the body of the alternator. The result replace the alternator with proper protection for the pulse wire.

Re: Toyota Motorsport - Diesel Performace Kit

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas of how to get hold of one of these TTE DPK's for my 09 Manual.

I have been watching the link here over the last 6 months and finally gone to order it and found the tte.de website does not supply them anymore

Does anyone have contacts for another supplier ?

thanks

Hmm... true. That's already a considerable gas efficiency for the load you have.
