I feel this should have gone up on the main channel
Bring back 2Sexy!
So do you guys suppose the Taliban tune their trucks when they mount a howitzer in the bed of it 🤔
Roughly how much does it cost to get that work done?
Hey guys, for your main channel, wouldn't be awesome if we the fans get to pick the car you should buy and mod??? whether it's a nugget or an early 2000s v6 like a Toyota Aurion for example? That'll be a fun interaction.
This is exactly the quality content I expect from the worlds best 4wheel driving channel ON THE PLANET.
Ronny who?

This is the 2nd best 4wd channel on the internet. The best, is their main channel.
And it's only their second channel! Amazing
Not world, but multiverse 😅😅😅
Scotty is such a brilliant guy. Sifting through all that data to find ways to tune a vehicle is truly impressive.
It is like he has done it before.
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!
@Giveaway591 How about no!
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.
And he’s a stand up bloke to boot. No wonder MCM always use Scotty and Haltech
credit to Marty for asking all the right questions and to the tuning fork for having an answer to every single one!
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
@@Willdu87 exactly that
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.
What
I wanna see a Lamborghini tractor get dyno tuned.
@@CanonFirefly It's just a silver Deutz
@@CanonFirefly POWWWEEEEER
no more clarksons farm ...amozon hasn't committed to season 3
Scotty is a gem! Protect that man at all cost!
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
Id love to tune, its just quite expensive. My current car is already tuned very well though from previous owner. It went from 210 stock to 282hk.
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.
LOVE the tuning episodes. Scotty's a legend
I love watching the series on the Luxy! Listening to Tuning Fork share his knowledge is outstanding!
I love how passionate Scott is about his job and describing all that goes into every tune he does for MCM.
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??
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
Carbon cleaning service does wonders on diesels. Well worth it!!
Is that the same as the variable geometry Garrett turbos?
@@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.
@@helplmchoking yep had my petrol cars done too, very good improvement :)
@@helplmchoking also helps to avoid cold stop start runs. And to flogg the engine so it doesn't foul up
I don't know how he manages it, but Scotty gets even more mad respect from me every single time he's on the screen. What a legend.
I frigging love the knowledge shared by the Fork, the Tuning Fork!
Only a great tuner like Scott is able to talk so openly and passionately about engine tuning. I loved it!
I love that you have demystified diesel tuning. I have wondered how this works and now I know. Gold! Thanks heaps MCM and Scotty, legends!
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 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.
Can you imagine having a friend like Scotty? He's a freaking legend,so bloody brilliant, thanks MEN, great video
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.
This is some main channel worthy content. Awesome work guys!
I could listen to Scotty talk all day.
What a legend.
This guy is an absolute wealth of knowledge about engine tuning, love it!
Scotty is an artist! Those tables are beauty in the eye of the beholder! Excellent vid. Nice one.
The amount of knowledge I gain everytime Scotty talks is amazing.
This has to be one of the most informative videos I have seen in a long time!
Tuning-fork is my spirit animal. I love all the support he's given Mighty Car Mods over the years.
What a ripper of a vid gents. Thank you. Would love to see more of this turbo diesel content.
Scotty is the real deal and truly fantastic to watch at work. Well done mate!
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.
yeah those isuzus are something
Isuzu pickups pick up a lot of power on remapping. Many of them run sub 10 second quarter miles (that includes some other supporting mods).
@@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
Awesome video. Much respect for Scotty and his tuning wizardry
i love that you guys ramped up the amount of content lately, gives me reasons to live
I'm so glad someone finally said that more power is more efficient because the engine doesn't have to work as hard.
I got my car tuned and it uses less fuel because I dont have to flog it to go anywhere 😂
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.
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!!!!
Not even wasting the internet with this vid! Good one guys.
I know nothing about diesels and I don't own a ute, but I was locked in watching this. Great work as always boys!
Everything seems easy when you work with professionals and especially professionals who are passionate about the subject matter.
Great episode! This is really quite interesting, especially since we didn't get a diesel option here in the US for these trucks.
This deserved to be main channel content, great vid!
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.
This is some incredibly advanced tuning. Such a great resource to have
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.
Scotty is the MAN! so interesting to listen to him. great content lads!
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
Great video and exceptional promotional spot. If I lived in Australia, I would definitely ask Scotty to tune my HiAce!
Awesome information guys, as a diesel enthusiast I definitely enjoyed learning about this. Makes me appreciate how powerful my 3.0L TDI is
I would have had no idea scotty was into diesels! That man is a wealth of knowledge and all around legend
Gotta check out the diesel scene in Thailand. They are extracting crazy power from these small diesels. One of their favorites is the Isuzu 4JJ.
Super interesting! Love to learn more about diesel tuning
Shoutout to the camera person, nice job 🤘
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.
This is the best 4x4 channel on youtube!
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!
Amazing video, Scotty's a natural at teaching
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
Love my TDI, wish you guys would give diesel more love on the show
I love my TDI, once you've felt the torque its hard to let go
Marty's next car should be 2.4 D5 volvo
@@johnnybebad2384 Or something with some *proper* potential like an OM606 or an M57.
@@kristoffer3000This. I like my 1.9 TDIs but they won't hold a candle to an OM606 lol.
@@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
I knew tuning fork tuned diesels but now I’m convinced I wanna get mine tuned by him
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.
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 👍
In a sick twist of events I too have also acquired a Hilux 😂 looking forward to tidying it up and enjoying it
Is there anything Tuning Fork can't tune? The man is a total wizard!
Thx for the content boys so helpful. From your mate's in malta 🇲🇹
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 vid. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Sir Tuning Of Fork smashes it. Nice one Scotty
I like how Marty is half way up the ramp and Scotty is in the middle on the floor. Genius!
Even more appreciation and admiration for that handsome man, Scotty
Blows me away.
Scotty legend 👍
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. 👌
I always forget Marty has and loves his excavator
When are we getting a build series on the Kubota???
Underglow.
This is great! I'm going to share it with some diesel friends of mine to get them to understand the diesel principle. Also this should be on the main channel, one of the best and educational videos you made.
Maby try to do something with a bmw m57 or n57 engine. There diesel cars with power, sound and performance to match some of your petrol cars 👍
this was deeply educational. good work fullas
So happy to see winOLS being used 😅 proper work being carried out
holy heck this episode is so nerdy, I love it. Diesel is like an untapped source of content for the worlds best 4x4 channel.
A true legend of tuning vehicles.
The hi-300Nm got me sold. Those 2KD(2.5L) engines really have potential. Great video you guys!
This has the 1kd-ftv 3.0L. Australia never got the 2kd
Excellent video!
So informative.
Scott is such a legend.
Finally the dyno on the Hylux. Much more familiar with Diesel engines than gas(Petro) engines as diesel is what I work on for a living in the states.
As always, thank you for the awesome content.
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.
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.
Quality content! I don't know why this isn't on the main channel tho.
You’re a legend tuning Fork.
There is live software for Diesel ECM’s but you’re looking at Bosch or Motec stand along ECM’s (Bosch just purchased Motec from internet say so)
Tuning Fork is my spirit animal !
worlds best 4x4 channel delivers again
Just love the Canon R3 sitting on the dash😎
Let’s see they boys at the next Sydney dragway diesel night !! MCM vs Haltech
Simply love these videos, so infoming
Never had a diesel, abut always interested in unique content like this!
Maybe consider a hot hatch with a diesel power plant?
Hmm, I been thinking of tuning my hilux for a while. I used to tune my ss commodores. I think this is my inspiration.
YOU CAN LEARN ALOT FROM ONE OF THE BEST DYNO GUYS IN THE WORLD
Love this technical talks.
Here in EU we regularly remap our diesels. Usually get a 25-30% increase in hp and torque with stock components.
actually its not just europe lol its any developed country
@@Nebbia_affaraccimiei reason why I was saying EU is because we drive alot of diesels, even most of our cars would be diesel over petrol
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.
I got a mail order tune done for my patrol and it is incredible how much different it is
