Stage 1 D40 Navara delivering 23 kW and 100 Nm more at the wheels

The YD25 in the D40 Navara responds well to a software-only tune, and this file delivers exactly that: 111 kW and 465 Nm at the wheels, up from a factory 88 kW and 365 Nm. The torque lift is where you'll feel it most—whether towing a decent load through regional NSW or merging onto the highway with a loaded tray.

This is a Stage 1 file with no hardware changes required. The factory turbo, injectors, and intercooler remain in place. It's a practical upgrade for a working ute that still sees daily road duties and the occasional touring run where fuel economy and driveability matter as much as the extra shove.

Common questions
Does this tune require any hardware upgrades?

No. This is a Stage 1 software-only tune. The factory turbo, injectors, and intercooler are retained.

What's the torque gain like in real-world use?

Torque jumps from 365 Nm to 465 Nm at the wheels—a 100 Nm increase. You'll notice it most when towing, loaded, or overtaking on the highway.

Is this suitable for a daily driver that tows occasionally?

Yes. The tune is designed for road use with no hardware changes, making it well-suited to a working ute that sees mixed duty.
