I have a good friend who's teaching himself tuning in the same way, even as a computer guy myself, I have trouble wrapping my head around all this. But he's made my little shitbox Yaris just a little more fun to drive, so it's awesome :D
@@eTiMaGo I've been slowly learning with a program like HP Tuners for over a year now. The more I learn, the more things like this really impress me. I love human ingenuity!
Came for the entertainment, got educated to boot. Scotty aka Tuning Fork is a wealth of knowledge, the true definition of a tuner as he actually KNOWS what the heck he's doing. Nice to see this.
he's really good at asking the questions we would be asking, and Scotty keeps his answers at the right tone for newbies. Particularly when Marty probably already knows this stuff. Its like he knows the audience and the kind of things they would be interested in
I kinda feel like you could get a Clarkson's Farm cameo with Tuning Fork by just mentioning that farm equipment can be flashed for more power, speed and fuel economy.
I know it's diesels and not traditionally the content we go for. But watching tuning fork and the knowledge he has be presented is a privilege. Excellent excellent video.
I believe Scotty is one of the most valuable assets to the world of tuning. His skills and knowledge set are immense and I love watching him talk you through it. A very clever man of much value to the tuning community. Imagine MCM without him??
its a breath of fresh air to see a tuner that knows how to tune a diesel. Granted you want to keep injector dwell as short as possible (this is where oversized injectors come in) to help keep the injection event at between 5-8 degrees after TDC. This lowers EGT's, ARFs, AITs and with all that combined nets your more power with even less fuel. Diesel tuning is way more fun than petrol.
My first taste of the potential of diesel tuning was a mk4 ALH 1.9 TDI golf. Tune, injector nozzles, and intercooler made it into a fun torque monster of a daily driver. In stop and go traffic you could let the clutch out without and throttle input and it would creep forward no issues. Got 50+ mpg highway and would go over 600 miles to a tank. Made many trips across the US in that thing without any issues!
I'm never going to tune or dyno a car, and have a small interest in others doing it. But I happily sat through this, as Scotty and Marty sat in another nugget just shooting the shit is what the internet is made for
You can tell by the way he talks, Scotty has a passion for teaching and educating others on something he's spent a lifetime learning :) what a cool dude.
I could listen to you awesome Aussies talking about this stuff all day, especially since I had my car wrecked by a hit and run driver last week all the car talk is making me feel better.
Definitely recommend doing an intake clean due to the egr system on these, also I’m not sure if you guys know but the turbos on this model hilux are variable vein so the increase boost pressure with intake pressure/revs
@@murry001 and non-diesels as well! Anything direct injection, particularly turbocharged will really benefit from a cleaning of the intake and valves around 100,000km. People talk shit about BMW's N54 needing the intake cleaned out because direct injection is shit and they make shit engines or something but it's just how direct injection works, there's no fuel washing over the valves cleaning them.
As a lapsed car head, I got boring and bought an old multiseat 109 Vito for the fam and crikey it was slow. Luckily the om646 in it is just a detuned version of the 115 (150hp vs 90hp for the "109" ) so a quick flash tune later and it gained more than 50% power and torque. Had to put a new clutch in, but so worth it. My boy started his mechanics apprenticeship recently and his workmates were like, your dad put a tune in a VAN? Yes I did... 100,000ks later it's clocked up 350,000, shows no sign of quitting and it TOWS 👍
Is it weird that this is the most I've ever been excited to watch a dyno tune 🤣🤣 It helps that I have a 94 hilux surf 3.0 1kz, and a 12 1kd hilux... But it also could be the discovery of the love of the tuning fork's love for diesels 🤣🤣🤣 To good!! Best 4x4 channel on UA-cam!!!!
Diesel power is fun. I miss my old Daihatsu Rocky with the 2.8 turbo diesel, slightly increased diesel flow on the pump and drove with a steady 0.8 bars of turbo boost. That thing was incredibly fast for what it was, and torque like no ones business. I had over 2 tonnes on the tow and had to back it up a hill to my friend's place. I just let the clutch out and the torque at idle engine speed was enough to drive it up without hesitation, didn't touch the accelerator.
Scotty really knows his stuff and enjoys his work. I'm Sure he dreads the call "can you tune this" and after saying sure lets play his fear becomes "oh heck not something so small again can i even get in it" I'd be interested to know the effect in 4wd as well as 2wd
Wow!! That was technically satisfying beyond anything on the Internet. Brings back memories from 2005 while I was doing my mechanical engineering degree and the passion I had for internal combustion engines. Thank you for the awesome content.
The very best part of watching Marty jam a straw into Scotty's brain every time you two get together is the way Marty bounces in with a perfect "backyard-mug" understandable connection. "Off the shelf dongles are great", "but they don't take account for your bigger exhaust or upgraded intercooler".. Personally I'd donate my sixual organs to know 70% of what Marty knows, or just 35% of what Scotty know about carbon burners... So easily explained and fluid to watch whether you edit out the inevitable fuck ups or not.... As always, love your work!
17:00 if I remember correctly it took 5 years or so before anyone cracked tuning the factory ECU on a Toyota D4D. Was a bit of a hype in the 4wd world when they could. When I had a 07-12 ranger it was tuned but they couldn't do hiluxes at that time. Before that it was a dodgy rail chip or Steinbauerr unit.
Marty is awesome interviewer. And Tuning Fork brings all the answers you can imagine. I was expecting lots of black smoke, but instead none of that and lots of good information.
The crazy shit we could do with the Isuzu factory diagnostic computer back in the early 2000s was heaps of fun. You could live adjust almost any parameter whilst the engine was running, it was almost like real-time tuning.
@@mathsunmasked56 I have isuzu cars from the 1990. They are great engine with most of the work toward torque even on petrol engine. On diesel it's even better. I have a 6.6 liter isuzu designed engine in my pickup truck. It's been great
In my experience exhaust systems onto turbo diesel motors are excellent upgrades. Every turbo diesel vehicle i ever had as soon as the exhaust was upgraded it was like a tune in itself! It feels like about a 20% power increase. Ive done turbo diesel 1hdt landcruisers, ft cruisers, fte cruisers, hilux d4d, 4m41 Triton, td42 patrol, 3 litre patrol, the moment I added exhaust I could feel the power increase.
I've been driving diesel Ute's as my daily for about 12years now and automatic diesel utes are soul crushingly depressing. Manuals just bring them alive.
Sharing this with a teacher friend of mine! I'll be using this as a teacher as well. Tuning fork, my friend I have held you as the best tuner and teacher a petrol head could have.. TurboYoda shares that spot with you, BTW.
@@kristoffer3000 the D5 is no slug, over 210 as standard and with a just a stage one it would sit around 250. And then the best thing 5 cylinder noises, just remember to map out the egr and dpf so it can breathe properly
My friends were driving trucks with 1000 foot-pounds of torque from the factory and some of them upgraded the turbos and got professional tunes done and were making 1000hp as well as having increased torque.
I wonder if non IT-nerds people realize how INSANE the way Scotty extracts and rewrite the code from raw data is. I didn't understand how much of the work is done by the program, but that just seem undoable to me. i'm an IT guy and if you told me I'd have to guess what was in a file by sheer looking at the data i would tell you you're crazy Again, Scotty amazes me
I have to agree with Scotty about the fuel filters, Change them every time You change the oil. Even Volvo recommends the fuel filters are changed at each oil change on My 1989 Volvo B10M Bus, Which they say is every 30,000km 3 months for route bus usage. But I do it every 6 months 30,000km which ever comes first, Maintenance definitely pays off as My bus has 1.7 Million kilometres on it at just shy of 34 years old and it’s only had 1 engine rebuild at 1.3 million km. So it’ll easily go to 2 million km before it potentially needs another rebuild, It’ll also be interesting to see what kind of Tune can be done on it as a Mechanical injection Diesel to bump it from the factory 245hp 890N-M torque to say 250hp 1000N-m torque since how it also hasn’t got any of the DPF / Euro emissions stuff on it.
In Ireland and alot of other European countries diesel is everywhere. They are trying to phase it out now with hybrid and electric but a lot of people remap there daily cars. My friend had an Audi A3 with 175bhp which sounds like not much but with 400nm of torque the thing was rapid! 😆. Nice to see a diesel appear on the channel. 👌
My god i’d love to have my BMW E82 123d tuned by Scotty, it’s already a peppy car with 450 N/m of torque, but i bet it would become a mad nugget with that kind if treatment
We tuned our nisvara 2019 rx single T basic mods muffler delete k and n filter dosent sound silly or look silly like most choo choo train 4x4s.. went from 86rwkw to 116rwkw and over 120nm torque jump I think high 600nm.on factiry boost going in for a 3 inch dpf delete and a big front mount next week so be interesting to see what it spits out. Then down the track stage 2 turbo. Alot of fun 2x4 with a alloy tray. Gives most of em the chop chop
Back in the day I put a potentiometer to a VW Passat TDi and it was behind a switch. I think it fooled the MAF/MAP and gave the engine more fuel. I think I could have fiddled with the wastegate a bit, but never got to it, as the car was super rusty and we got rid of it. Before that there was a 1.9 TD Golf III and it had mechanically variable injection, operated by the boost pressure. So one could turn the eccentric spring loaded metal cylinder to get more fuel under boost. Some made their own, very radical ones. Later on, the Golf was registered as a two seater "van" and the fuel taxes were super cheap after that. Too bad the motor blew up when I drove it on super heavy rain. Not sure if the water got inside the motor or what happened, but one of the chambers in the head (not sure what they're called) dropped on the piston.
Premium diesel. What Mr Fork said. A premium diesel has a higher cetane number, better lubricity and includes detergents that provide injector-cleaning capability versus standard #2 diesel. Cetane measures a fuel's ignition delay. Higher cetane equals a shorter delay and better ignition quality for quicker start-ups and less pollution. Basically the same base with a different additives package. I've tried different brands of diesel over the years and I can't tell the difference on the seat-of-the pants-o-meter.
Now this is some entertaining stuff. If Marty ever decides to have a UA-cam career other than making videos for the 38 fans on this channel, he should make a channel with videos where he mods vehicles and gets them tuned and tested on the dyno at the end of the build. Maybe get that other fella who does the news and fanking videos with him too. They could have the best four wheel driving channel on the planet before long, I reckon. That Tuning Fork guy should show up occasionally too.
In Portugal (where I'm from) diesel tuning is highly advanced. You can have a 1.6 diesel golf do 200bhp, 400nm. The 1.9 and 2.0 diesel Golfs do up to 400bhp with "little mods" (basically a turbo and bigger injectors)
with most modern dual cabs live tuning is possible with some pigyback ecus from companies like ecushop and alphatech. these offer huge gains i believe isuzu dmax 2014 model can make +100hp +200nm
This gets me thinking about getting a tune for my van again. These extra NM in the midrange is exactly what I need. It feels a bit low on power for its weight.
Excellent video. I'm just starting to get into this sort of thing with an m57. I'd really like to hear more from tuning fork about bin editing and diesel tuning.
Just for reference, there are several aftermarket diesel ECU's available, the main problem is cost, and people with the skills to configure and tune them. I run an adaptronic ECU on my common rail diesel with my own logic / firmware, which enables live tuning, and live monitoring of just about anything. There are also emulators available that replace the memory chips in the factory ECU's (Mainly BOSCH EDC), which allow you to "live tune" them,as you are essentially just modiying the ecu's memory live, and the ECU dosnt know any better... Just thought some people may be interested to know :)
before you try tuning have you cleaned your intake an egr? at least added the 7mm hole restrictor plate if not the blocking plate? full service including new injecters? at 412k it should of had new injectors twice(every 200k) if none of this has been done then no decent shop will tune it until it's all been done
Gale Banks does a really good series on diesel tuning called killing a Duramax he puts loads of information on at various stages and explains it all he basically gets just over 1000bhp on stock internals
i change the fuel filter every oil change air filter also, about 10k give or take and find the fuel filter is usually 50% used on average, it's not just filtering the fuel burnt at the engine but is filtering all the fuel in the tank non stop when running as they are all now constant circulation fuel systems now day's.
There are many turbodiesel cultures in southeast asian countries (like Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, etc). There are many modified and high powered Toyota Hilux, Mitsubishi Triton, Isuzu D-Max, etc.

This has the 1kd-ftv 3.0L. Australia never got the 2kd
Now this is some entertaining stuff. If Marty ever decides to have a UA-cam career other than making videos for the 38 fans on this channel, he should make a channel with videos where he mods vehicles and gets them tuned and tested on the dyno at the end of the build. Maybe get that other fella who does the news and fanking videos with him too. They could have the best four wheel driving channel on the planet before long, I reckon. That Tuning Fork guy should show up occasionally too.
Scotty is the MAN! so interesting to listen to him. great content lads!
In Portugal (where I'm from) diesel tuning is highly advanced. You can have a 1.6 diesel golf do 200bhp, 400nm. The 1.9 and 2.0 diesel Golfs do up to 400bhp with "little mods" (basically a turbo and bigger injectors)
with most modern dual cabs live tuning is possible with some pigyback ecus from companies like ecushop and alphatech. these offer huge gains i believe isuzu dmax 2014 model can make +100hp +200nm
This gets me thinking about getting a tune for my van again. These extra NM in the midrange is exactly what I need. It feels a bit low on power for its weight.
i love that you guys ramped up the amount of content lately, gives me reasons to live
This is the best hilux dyno video that I’ve come across ever since buying mine in 2014. Great job keep it up and thankyou
I always forget Marty has and loves his excavator
When are we getting a build series on the Kubota???
Underglow.
Great episode! This is really quite interesting, especially since we didn't get a diesel option here in the US for these trucks.
16:55 Would be interessting to know if the DID1 from Baldur can be live tuned (it is an aftermarket stand alone diesel ECU).
What a ripper of a vid gents. Thank you. Would love to see more of this turbo diesel content.
Excellent video. I'm just starting to get into this sort of thing with an m57. I'd really like to hear more from tuning fork about bin editing and diesel tuning.
Darkside Developments and Kassel Performance are two I know that can spice up the m57.
Great video and exceptional promotional spot. If I lived in Australia, I would definitely ask Scotty to tune my HiAce!
Is haltech coming up with a live tuning diesel Ecu module? Plenty of other options for it already from other suppliers
Just for reference, there are several aftermarket diesel ECU's available, the main problem is cost, and people with the skills to configure and tune them. I run an adaptronic ECU on my common rail diesel with my own logic / firmware, which enables live tuning, and live monitoring of just about anything. There are also emulators available that replace the memory chips in the factory ECU's (Mainly BOSCH EDC), which allow you to "live tune" them,as you are essentially just modiying the ecu's memory live, and the ECU dosnt know any better... Just thought some people may be interested to know :)
I like how Marty is half way up the ramp and Scotty is in the middle on the floor. Genius!
Great video, I had a map on my 1.6 cdti mokka in the UK, and the difference made what was a mums school run car actually good to drive
As a high km (412k) hilux 1kd owner this is awesome ahaha, id love to see a haltech video on the 1kd
before you try tuning have you cleaned your intake an egr? at least added the 7mm hole restrictor plate if not the blocking plate? full service including new injecters? at 412k it should of had new injectors twice(every 200k) if none of this has been done then no decent shop will tune it until it's all been done
A boost controller would allow the turbo to ramp in earlier to shift the curves left. That’s the RPM range most people daily drive in.
i did a intake clean on my hilux before i got it tuned, i wonder if their hilux would benefit from the same clean to remove all the carbon etc
Gale Banks does a really good series on diesel tuning called killing a Duramax he puts loads of information on at various stages and explains it all he basically gets just over 1000bhp on stock internals
banks is the king of diesels.....
In a sick twist of events I too have also acquired a Hilux 😂 looking forward to tidying it up and enjoying it
Super interesting! Love to learn more about diesel tuning
I drive a VW tdi. Was good to see a diesel on the channel
I change both lift pump filters and engine fuel filter every single oil change, it’s an extra 60$ compared to HPFP, injectors and lines which cost 10k
i change the fuel filter every oil change air filter also, about 10k give or take and find the fuel filter is usually 50% used on average, it's not just filtering the fuel burnt at the engine but is filtering all the fuel in the tank non stop when running as they are all now constant circulation fuel systems now day's.
There are many turbodiesel cultures in southeast asian countries (like Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, etc). There are many modified and high powered Toyota Hilux, Mitsubishi Triton, Isuzu D-Max, etc.
