So the problem with the 2.8 is the new charge cooler which is limiting the gains with a gturbo at the moment ,so it just is not worth the money, but we are going to do a hybrid which would give the same amount of gains compared to a g300 and then we will do another vid
@@Chucky-l1p once the guys have sorted out the cooling on the motor then we can look at getting some impressive gains like with a g300 but because of the limitations at the moment the hybrid is more bang for buck, but there are 2.8 motors making above 260kw and 800nm ,which would be awesome in the cruiser
Wow that's impressive numbers, will stay tuned for how you guys go over there. Here in Australia I believe the tuners are chasing the same solution as you described
@@LukeMitchley the 2.8 is really impressive , the auto box does make a big difference and then the v8 is also on a verry safe tune , so it only gets max boost from 4th gear , so basically it starts to pull on the 2.8 from about 100kph and up , but before that the 2.8 beats it through the gears
Our 2.8 has done over 15 000kms with the tune and exhaust , we have not had any issues and have towed boats and caravans , also done alot of bush driving with zero issues , it could maybe be the tuner on your side trying to push the power figures to much ,which then causes higher temps
Cool video, vat dit rustiger met die musiek volgende keer 🙂
Install a gturbo G300-gd and a snorkel on the 2.8 to even the odds against the already kitted v8. That would be very interesting 🤔

That's interesting info, very keen to see how you go with the hybrid and development with this engine overtime 👍

@@Chucky-l1p yes we see that just autos is trying to find a solution over there by you guys and hopefully then the guys over here can also get one
For all intents and purposes the 2.8 is actually not bad considering the cost etc. it's only at +- 150km that you see the difference from what I see.

THE 2.8 WORKING DOUBLE THE RATE TO PUT OUT SAME POWER AS THE V8 THEREFOR OVERHEATING WHEN TOWING UP HILLS AND SAND DRIVING. VERY DISSAPOINTING
