Hi Everyone,
New member to the group, look forward to learning a heap and getting my hands dirty from all the information posted on here.
I currently have a 2010 GXL Prado with the 4.0L V6 in it, I'm finding it needs a little bit more power and better fuel economy then standard. I haven't touched anything on the engine or transmission since buying the car some 4 years ago now and I think it's time it got a well deserved birthday, and I have noticed towing my 2 ton boat around that it needs a bit of extra grunt for towing especially long distance trips when tackling hills etc.
I have a few ideas in mind on what I would like to do going off general research from Google and I have listed the bits bellow.
- New exhaust system (extractors as well).
- either performance chip or throttle controller (haven't seen many performance chips).
- Snorkel with high flow air filter.
- larger transmission cooler.
Now for the age old question that you have all heard before, I'm after some advice/guidance/opinions on the above and what relevance/difference these will make to the car, I'm sure it's all been discussed before and if someone could point me in the right direction or list parts / costings / experience that they have had in past or currently that would be much appreciated.
Thanks
