  • Gturbo of diesel performance

    Hello boys,
    I have mentioned before about wanting a bit more grunt from my 1KZ engine it's an 06 120 , and I really like it , but towing my caravan ( about 2300 ish loaded ) it does struggle on the hills a bit , I have a 3 inch exhaust , so it's a start, have been thinking of a chip also but been procrastinating for I don't know how long , anyway went along and spoke to Graeme at GTUTBO DIESEL PERFORMANCE, ( on a recommendation ) they are in Balcatta in WA, on Facebook and worth a look.
    They use a DTE MODULE and all kinds of turbos way above my head , Quote - the DTE module has features that uni chip owners could only dream about,
    I must admit he did seem to know what he was talking about,
    For me I could go to a different turbo , different inter cooler , etc ,etc, but he recommended for my situation just a stage one, which is the module and dyno to fine tune and optimise ( they do the dyno too ) from my understanding they plug / connect into the injectors ,fuel pump , and could be turbo but might have the turbo bit wrong , they put the boost up to 18 / 19 psi ,
    I mentioned the steinbouer chip only because it gets a lot more mention , his Quote was
    , the steinbouer chip had two partners, After a while they went there own way and hence the DTE module came about supposed to have more features than the steinbouer and certainly the uni hip , but who am I to say
    So my question is anyone used GTUTBO or the DTE MODULE , ( like I said he was recommended by a friend of a friend has used them but for a much bigger job and very very impressed )
    The complete set up would be $ 2400 supplied fitted dyno'd before and after
    Appreciate your thoughts and opinions,
    Cheers Alan.��

    Graeme knows his stuff. Probably the best Landcruiser specific turbo builder anywhere. Many of the well known and respected tuners are now using his turbos. I'm running GTurbo and Unichip (Graeme used Unichip before moving to DTE) custom tuned by Graeme. The only problem I've had is trying to wipe the smile off my face.

      He He , like that Leachy, What motor have you got ? I was thinking of trading up to the D4D but it will cost me a lot more than an upgrade the way I have decided to go ,might use a bit more diesel but won't get any more conform.
      Cheers Alan.
