Hey all, been on here for a while now so I thought I’d start a build thread. I came across the site when I was looking to carry out upgrades to my 2010 SR5 D4D auto.
I bought it in 2012 stock standard, it was fitted with the TomTom navigation head unit and reverse camera, hard lid and nudge bar, I fitted some Supafit seat covers staright up. Soon got sick of that so I fitted Caloffroad 3” springs and bilstien struts in the front with Snake racing 2” blocks and bilstien shock in the rear and extended brake lines all round.
I also imported some Race line Raptor wheel in 17x10 from the states.
I rolled around with this set up for a little while before fitting an ARB Sahara bar and safari snorkel and had the sports bars powder coated black.
As I mainly use it to tow my other Hilux to events I was on the hunt for a bit more pulling power, so I got in contact with Matt at Just Auto’s and ordered a HKS unit and installed it along with a shift kit for the auto and an A pillar gauge pod with boost and EGT gauges. I had it tuned and it made 186hp at the rears
This lasted for a couple of months before the turbo died due to not liking the extra boost, so then it was off the speak with Graham and Tim at Gturbo and soon enough I had a Grunter extreme in my hands and fitted that along with a HPD front mount intercooler kit. Just waiting now to have it retuned, which should be happening in the next couple of weeks.

Had the Hilux tuned with the new turbo and front mount cooler and made 203hp.

Awesome gains! I'm looking at the Gturbo to compliment my own HKS tune, how has the Gturbo affected down low performance (ie below 2000rpm) compared to the stock turbo?
I understand it's not always about the overall power gain but rather how it's delivered

Down low I've found it to be much the same as the standard turbo, but it does spool up a fair bit quicker than standard just not sure what RPM.
