The Landcruiser has long been a symbol of durability and reliability, conquering diverse terrains and conditions for decades. From its humble beginnings as a rugged off-road vehicle, the Landcruiser has evolved into a versatile and powerful machine, beloved by adventurers and off-road enthusiasts worldwide.

We’re thrilled to focus on the latest addition to the Landcruiser family, the GDJ70. Featuring the 1GD-FTV 2.8L engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission, this model combines traditional Landcruiser toughness with modern performance enhancements.

This post delves into the benefits of ECU remapping for the GDJ70. ECU remapping optimizes the engine control unit, unlocking improved power, torque, and fuel efficiency. With precise tuning, your GDJ70 can achieve enhanced performance, smoother drivability, and better overall efficiency. Stay tuned as we explore how our specialized remapping services can elevate your Landcruiser experience to new heights.

The 1GD-FTV turbocharged diesel engine is renowned for its fuel efficiency and power, making it ideal for both on-road and off-road adventures. Paired with the Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission, drivers can enjoy smooth and efficient gear shifts, whether cruising the highway or tackling rugged terrain. The 70 Series’ high ground clearance, robust four-wheel-drive system, and off-road-focused suspension ensure it handles rough conditions with ease. Additionally, modern safety and technology features, such as traction control, stability control, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control, enhance its appeal.

Custom Dyno Tuning for the Toyota Landcruiser 2.8L 1GD-FTV

One common issue Landcruiser drivers face, especially when towing, is a drop in performance. Towing heavy loads or running accessory systems like air conditioning can make the vehicle feel sluggish, making overtaking a challenge. This is because diesel engines are designed to deliver strong torque at mid-range RPMs (2000-4000rpm), and any additional load can impact their performance.

At Diesel Tuning Brisbane, our ECU remap and custom dyno tuning can transform your Toyota Landcruiser 70 Series with the 1GD-FTV 2.8L engine. Our tuning typically adds 25 horsepower and boosts torque by 20%, with an 80Nm gain over stock compontnents in a Stage 1 approach. This results in a more responsive vehicle, safer for towing and everyday driving. Stage 2 and beyond results in stronger outcomes with supporting hardware. 

Combining our ECU remap with custom Transmission Control Module (TCM) tuning further enhances performance. This tuning reduces torque converter flare, eliminates indecisive gear shifts, and extends the usable torque band, providing a better towing experience. We can also recalibrate the speedometer for different tyre sizes, ensuring accuracy.
