A lock up kit doesnt prevent hunting between 5th and 6th, not in my 2023 dmax anyway. It locks the converter and prevents it flaring which is the major cause of heat. My dmax will often go back to 5th with very little provocation with the converter remaining locked, but if turned off it will stay in 6th but unlock the converter before it goes back a gear. Revs in either scenario are about the same but converter temps rise markedly if its flaring .
Good advice. Additionally, you should perform diesel oil changes and filter at least every 10,000km with synthetic oil in common-rail engines (6,000km if round town and lots of idling in traffic). Thanks
Never do a carbon clean by pushing it through the engine. You'll glaze the cylinders and blow it up. Take everything off up to the head and ultrasonic clean yourself or find a shop that does it properly and not just rev the crap out of your engine pushing it through and leaving most of it jammed up at the head ports.
Depends on the on car system. Udt uses chemicals to break the soot down. Benefits is their system actually cleans out the valve train which cannot be done with a manual clean
Hey Cal, that's not the case with the chemicals that we use. We have performed thousands of these cleans with zero issues. And no, we don't rev the engine whilst it's doing its job. Our machines are extremely effective in removing the soot & the process is harmless to engines. Cheers!

EGR systems should be a fairly regular service item for inspection & cleaning when required, no further action needed. They've been fitted for a couple of decades now, so we should know what to expect & what to do with them. Adding a catch can is a placebo & nothing more as all it does is act as a condenser for the gaseous moisture in the hot exhaust gas, which likely catches some solid particles & then sits around in the catch can gathering more condensed liquid, then evaporating on a constant cycle until you get that half teaspoon of unidentified syrup which supposedly saves your engine somehow. I don't think they do anything particularly harmful, but they definitely don't achieve anything either. Service your EGR systems! I'm an automotive design engineer btw 👍
Install some fans on vehicles with a top mount intercooler. They dont enough airflow without fans specially when moving slowly and will tell the ecu the intake temps are high and will reduce power
oil seperator container there are many types out that taking that your run your crankcase fumes through extracting the oil out before it goes back into the intake manifold, will reduce extensively that gunk buildup
Every question answered. You guys are the go to for anything 4WD. Thanks for another awesome and valuable vid to keep us traveling around our awesome country!!!
Ignore the 15,000km service . Always service at 10,000km max . Under severe duty short trips /dusty trips/high speed /high load ....service at 5000km .
Is there an optimum time to do a custom tune? Ex. After at least 5000km, or can you do it straight from the factory? Is it necessary to do it again after some time, or is a tune a once off that will have the same benefit throughout your vehicles life?
My 2019 hilux has done 340,000km I service it myself around 20-30,000 I do alot of kms I flog the arse out of it drive it hard and treat her like shit but she has never missed a beat, my opinion is there work horses and made to be driven hard.
G'day Shauno! Love all your guys content! Quick question: What if you happened to install a catch can at 100,000kms in your 4wd without getting an intake clean first? Can you still get it done or will it damage your catch can poly pipes etc?
Done all these mods to my 3L D4D motor apart from a tune. I got a blanking plate put on my egr, what does that actually do? Minimise crap going back through??
Hey shauno, wouldn't the box tune be better on the 200's now that they can modify the shift points and lockup points? Rather than having a box to tell you box to tell your box when to lock up. Just tune the box so the ECU controls it all rather than an intercept of PWM signal.
@@UltimateDieselTuning No doubt you would provide every customer an unconditional guarantee in writing that Ultimate Diesel Tuning would honour the new car warranty
It’s really odd that none of the manufacturers fit catch-cans to their vehicles from factory… the millions and millions of dollars in development and not one has a catch can. Really really odd…

Larger exhaust - gives it a bit more power & torque once tuned to suit & more response down low (for non DPF models); snorkel doesn't make any difference to the engine's performance; airbox - depending on which one it can make a difference but again once tuned to suit.
Hi Shauno, you guys don't talk about or bring Patrols on your shows. We Patrols fun's feel neglected n we are part of 4wd 24/7 family. We believe n trust Patrols should respected as a formidable 4wd. Shauno tell Graham is letting us down. Love your content, much love from Nairobi Kenya.
good question! Nothing happens to it Sahil. They cannot just go & void your warranty due to any of these things. If there is a problem with the car that develops, then they must prove that the mod caused the issue. And if they can, they can then REFUSE your warranty. Here at UDT we have our own warranty as well.
Block the EGR valve as this is a major pain with all that sludge going into the motor. There is absolutely no good going to come from sucking all that crap into the motor. If you are going to the trouble of super clean fuel, then why would you bother with the original EGR "sludge maker"?
Good mods, but every mod listed can void new car warranty. Had a 79 series denied for a turbo, stated in writing from Toyota. Denied for catch can and pre filter also listed in writing, manta exhaust, dpf back.
that's when you challenge your dealer. They can't just go & deny warranty claims like that - they must prove that the mod caused the failure. Pre-filters are an extra safety net for the engines (they are just a filter so cannot damage anything in the engine) & if a catch can is fitted correctly it too cannot cause damage. Same with the exhaust.
@@UltimateDieselTuning Yes I agree, I am a diesel fitter and have been for 35 years. The catch can and pre filter are vehicle specific that where fitted, and were only on vehicle for 1 week. Toyota have been challenged and have said they don't have to prove anything. Denied for engine mods. Yes ridiculous, but reality. The maker of the catch can and pre filter kit said the same thing as you, they can't do that. Yet they did. Will you back your customer, when there warranty is denied.
ust wondering if there is any reason why we never see an Amarok on any of your trips?? I'm looking at putting a new one together later this year if any one had any suggestions ??
Hi Shauno, I love your many adventures and dream of a chance to get out and experience the same one day. Just a question about who you'd recommend in Sydney - Unfortunately we don't have an Ultimate Diesel Tuning centre (that I know of) in Sydney, do you have anyone you could recommend? Thanks
Yeah it's true they can void your warranty. I was told by Toyota about it when I was asking about putting one on my 2021 Hilux, they told me that they had 200 series blowing rear main seals apparently because of the catch can so they voided warranty. For the record I still put my Provent catch can on.
Egr, dpf delete. Straight exhaust so the motor can breathe Snorkel so the motor gets better air flow Catch can to catch excess oil Tune. In a nut shell
That shouldn't be due to the catch if it is set up and operating correctly. A correctly set up catch can should not impact negatively on crank case pressure. Also if the can was full this could result in a blown rear main I.e. anything that impacts on the crank case pressure such that it needs to find somewhere else to vent like the rear main.
Great vid mate, I have used Ultimate diesel tuning on my previous Prado and can't fault the performance but a question that gets asked a lot is what happens if you get a tune on a new vehicle, as in the new car warranty??
Good to hear! Your warranty is fine mate, they can't just go & void it due to a custom dyno tune having been carried out. In the case of any issues, they have to prove, with sufficient evidence, that the tune caused the issue before they try to void the warranty.
Any new vehicle that has a tune is factually illegal to operate anymore on public Australian roads.... they've modified the approved emmision calibration , and that is 100% not allowed and any by product that the tune provides can and does void warranty especially if the increased power / torque exceeds OEM parameters.... let alone anything more than 25% needs a blue plate.... which UDT and many others dont provide.. again making your car no longer compliant for on highway use...... they will tell you what ever it takes to make a sale.... but TMR will tell u the truth....
@@UltimateDieselTuning Nice idea, mate, but when you try and get Toyota to repair the CV joints you broke with the tune on board, you'll meet a brick wall. They won't even fix manufacturing faults like DPF and airbox leaks without a class action.
@@einfelder8262 in the thousands & thousands of vehicles that we have custom dyno tuned, it is extremely rare should there be issues with a dealership.
Or just buy a Petrol!! (That first mod wasn’t a mod. It’s was maintenance. Cleaning)!! Most modern autos include an auto lockup torque converter anyway.
Must disagree on the lock up kits. Most are poorly engineered. Only got mine (Ortos) to stop throwing codes after I greatly increased the resistor wattage (I.e ability to get rid of heat). Better to just use fourth in your five speed. Problem solved, zero cost.
got a question for you guys: where do you start to learn to do these mods? is it from a friend, or from a garage, or other? how can I learn the best I can with doing these mods? e.g., knowing where to attach hoses, where to get a custom bracket done... etc. as someone who's never worked on an engine before, in the end of this experience, I want to be able to some of these mods myself. Cheers guys
Can find the stuff you’re after online, brackets come with the kits & instructions come with it aswell.. if you aren’t that confident watch videos or ask a friend that knows Diesel engines
I think the biggest thing is to just start, as with most things you learn as you go or run into a problem. Online, local mechanic, mates or the install manuals all give a helping hand
Is fitting a snorkel to 4wd worth it. I'm not going in water. I have been told it will decrease your fuel consumption. And an exhaust from dpf back would that help with breathing or just noise. Thanks
320k on my 200, zero mods and zero issues. I think regular servicing is the key.
Pull the intake.
Throw it on a dyno, guarantee it’ll be well down on power

Hi Shauno, I love your many adventures and dream of a chance to get out and experience the same one day. Just a question about who you'd recommend in Sydney - Unfortunately we don't have an Ultimate Diesel Tuning centre (that I know of) in Sydney, do you have anyone you could recommend? Thanks
I heard a chemical clean can destroy your DPF. Do you bypass it?
I drive a new Volvo XC60 AWD with B4 Diesel engine. Do these apply or are these mods for big trucks only? Thanks.
Thanks legends!
I think I deserve to go on a trip with one of you boys when covids out maybe a shoot and fish message me!
What's your experience with catch cans with new cars? Because I've been told time and time again that they void your factory warranty
@@swampypolitics9574 I think you're in the wrong comment section mate. 😅
@@swampypolitics9574 put your tinfoil hat back on cobba
If it restricts airflow and causes damage as a result. A good quality catch can shouldn't be a problem but something you should know about.
Yeah it's true they can void your warranty. I was told by Toyota about it when I was asking about putting one on my 2021 Hilux, they told me that they had 200 series blowing rear main seals apparently because of the catch can so they voided warranty. For the record I still put my Provent catch can on.
@@arthurstock4386 the only way that that can happen is if the catch can lines have been installed incorrectly, pressurising the system.
Diesel fuel additives are a good way to keep your engine up to standards
Egr, dpf delete.
Straight exhaust so the motor can breathe
Snorkel so the motor gets better air flow
Catch can to catch excess oil
Tune.
In a nut shell
Only problem is with a catch can is that it tends to cause the rain main seal on a np300 to leak.
That shouldn't be due to the catch if it is set up and operating correctly.
A correctly set up catch can should not impact negatively on crank case pressure.
Also if the can was full this could result in a blown rear main I.e. anything that impacts on the crank case pressure such that it needs to find somewhere else to vent like the rear main.
@@Nick-sd7um sorry to say but common fault with the 2.3L motor that's in them
They have rear main issues regardless of having or not having a catch can
@@adrenalinerush91 ^ this!
Great vid mate, I have used Ultimate diesel tuning on my previous Prado and can't fault the performance but a question that gets asked a lot is what happens if you get a tune on a new vehicle, as in the new car warranty??
Everything engine related is void, gearbox void, diffs void. Your wiper motor is still covered.
Good to hear! Your warranty is fine mate, they can't just go & void it due to a custom dyno tune having been carried out. In the case of any issues, they have to prove, with sufficient evidence, that the tune caused the issue before they try to void the warranty.
Any new vehicle that has a tune is factually illegal to operate anymore on public Australian roads.... they've modified the approved emmision calibration , and that is 100% not allowed and any by product that the tune provides can and does void warranty especially if the increased power / torque exceeds OEM parameters.... let alone anything more than 25% needs a blue plate.... which UDT and many others dont provide.. again making your car no longer compliant for on highway use...... they will tell you what ever it takes to make a sale.... but TMR will tell u the truth....
@@UltimateDieselTuning Nice idea, mate, but when you try and get Toyota to repair the CV joints you broke with the tune on board, you'll meet a brick wall. They won't even fix manufacturing faults like DPF and airbox leaks without a class action.
@@einfelder8262 in the thousands & thousands of vehicles that we have custom dyno tuned, it is extremely rare should there be issues with a dealership.
Or just buy a Petrol!!
(That first mod wasn’t a mod. It’s was maintenance. Cleaning)!!
Most modern autos include an auto lockup torque converter anyway.
What if you have a dpf do you need all this done for reliability in the long run.
The cleaner the exhaust the less work for the dpf.
yes you sure do. The EGR system is different to the DPF system.
Very easy delete egr delete and knock ✊🏾 out egr then tune. 👍🏾
Really glad i have a 12 valve cummins so i dont have to deal with any of this
Hey legends , i got a question what's the average cost to rebuild a diesel engine?
Hi Shauno, could you recommend anyone in WA for the torque converter lock up? Cheers
Done two on the list now looking for the wifes credit card 🙄
Lol mate, good luck with that!
I heard Australia is a nightmare and getting worse by the day and the people have had enough My prayers are with you and your countrymen
More updates on your LC 200 Shauno please….
Must disagree on the lock up kits. Most are poorly engineered. Only got mine (Ortos) to stop throwing codes after I greatly increased the resistor wattage (I.e ability to get rid of heat). Better to just use fourth in your five speed. Problem solved, zero cost.
we use the Richards Auto lockup kits, they are fantastic
Please do petrol next
Do petrol what? No petrol 4wds out there..
Can you do best mods for old 4wd too
Would all this be applicable to a new ranger with a throttle controller ?
Yes
yes indeed.
Is a lock up kit available for the NP300?
got a question for you guys: where do you start to learn to do these mods? is it from a friend, or from a garage, or other? how can I learn the best I can with doing these mods? e.g., knowing where to attach hoses, where to get a custom bracket done... etc.
as someone who's never worked on an engine before, in the end of this experience, I want to be able to some of these mods myself.
Cheers guys
Can find the stuff you’re after online, brackets come with the kits & instructions come with it aswell.. if you aren’t that confident watch videos or ask a friend that knows Diesel engines
I think the biggest thing is to just start, as with most things you learn as you go or run into a problem. Online, local mechanic, mates or the install manuals all give a helping hand
Is fitting a snorkel to 4wd worth it. I'm not going in water. I have been told it will decrease your fuel consumption. And an exhaust from dpf back would that help with breathing or just noise. Thanks
