PLEASE!

Be aware
More fuel makes the hilux a dream but also can cause 15000 hole in your pocket. ( and a piston)

Chips work don't get me wrong. But please. Be aware of the risks if you push too far!

Have a great day.

Box head I get what your saying! but why does Toyota In Europe give you an option with all their D4D range to get an option power module upgrade which I believe is called the tte chip or something like that and my understanding is very similar to the Steinbauer ... Surely if they sell this their confident that it won't damage the engines..

There's no it is safe
. Other makes who knows?


No such chip in Australia. And lots of cooked motors.

I do believe the motors you have there are down tune to pass emission tests. The chip kits you put on brings them to the power outputs of the Australian motors

It was just information use it as you wish.

I'm a local dude! I however do travel a fair bit though! Engine outputs are the same as Australia only difference is they have had the 5 speed box in the Auto for years....

the genuine performance chip is mentioned below:
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3834

also mentioned on page 22 of a genuine catalog. For the 1KD it comes to 145kw and 430nm.

Perhaps a reason why it is advertised as a genuine update over there and not here in Australia is due to the higher quality diesel over there. If dodgy, low cetane diesel isn't a real issue then I imagine they could provide a more aggressive tune for the European Hilux (similar in how certain performance cars require 98 octane).

Nice photo boxhead, is that from an engine that had the turbo wound up a bit?. Also am I correct in saying you can see where its been heavily over fueling from the star pattern burn, is that a number 3 piston per chance :)

I did point out in the my PM to europalife about the overheat issue, as long as people are conscious of the potential issue and act to monitor it, i.e install EGT gauge then its not a concern IMHO.

It does but using it like you have suggested does not really work for the Stienbauer.

when you switch the Stien back on it will take 60 seconds to engage the additional fueling, it will engage earlier only if you exceed 3500rpm. you can clearly see this on one of my dyno runs here

What this means is that you will be at the top the hill or past where you need it before it engages. I just leave mine on at full setting all the time. I do have the switch in the cab but I dont use the earth grounding system off the Stien. I preferred to completely isolate the power using a relay to the internal switch.

Another update on my limp mode issue. After ARB installed the tuned steinbauer unit with boost control failed to work. They took it for a test run up a hill and gave it a boot full and yep back into limp mode. Which I'm happy about in some ways because now they know what I've been experiencing. The solution is- steinbauers head technician is going to travel from Dalby to Brisbane in a couple of weeks and hook it up to his computer and look into the fault code and tune it himself. He is confident he can fix it. So good service on their part and I hope to report back when this is done and say the problem has been fixed. They are also saying it could be a possible defect with a sensor. Either way I hope the cause is found. Steinbauer are saying that they have never seen a hilux with the boost control fail like this.

It means a lot when a company goes out of their way to rectify an issue. Though I don't see why thy don't just install a new unit.

Yep it's gone into limp mode with a brand new unit. This unit is also a different model which has boost control and was made for vehicles which suffer limp mode.

I had to pay the difference for the upgrade but I'm very happy they are personally coming to Brisbane to check the vehicle out.

Yep the update is the head technician from Steinbauer came to Brisbane and spent 2 hours with me testing it on a local hill. He did everything to the unit to try and get it stop going into limp mode. Even when unplugged it still went into limp mode. We then headed to Toyota to get the fault code. The code that came up was P2008 - manifold intake.

The tech from steinbauer was brilliant and he convinced the guys from Toyota it has nothing to do with the unit or the taipan 3 inch exhaust which has a cat. Toyota agreed to look into it. Originally Toyota wanted me to remove the unit and the exhaust before they would look into it.

It's been with Toyota for 3 days an no news yet. They have cleaned the MAF sensor and its still going into limp mode.

There is another thread running on this fault code and it seems to have caused a a few people grief while they try and work it out. Will update the forum on this link now we know it has nothing to do with the steinbauer unit.

Steinbauer is the best performance module out there.
The photo of the cracked piston that BH posted, is from a totally stressed out 1KD-FTV, towing something over the specs of the vehicle.
But let me say this, the same thing can happen with this engine if you over fuel it, or increase the rail or boost pressures.
It's simply not worth the risk, because the cost is to great, with this engine.

This photo the engine has been hot would love to see the tips of the injectors but boost does not cause this running 16:1 afr and richer will and I have see many chip come in running in that area so that's why I don't believe in them unless they have been checked on a dyno it's not worth the risk. Custom tuning is the only way I believe .

It was over fueling tho.
