Hilux TRD — Stage 1 ECU Tune
- 24% increase in power output
- 14% increase in torque delivery
- Improved fuel efficiency
- Enhanced boost control response
- Optimized fuel system performance
The 1GD platform responds well to software-only tuning, and this TRD shows exactly why workshops keep coming back to this file. Power lifts from 91 kW to 99 kW at the wheels, but the real story is torque: 460 Nm climbing to 536 Nm. That's an extra 76 Nm available for long highway hauls, caravan work, or loaded touring through sand and corrugations.
The calibration refines boost control and wastegate solenoid duty, then backs it up with high-pressure fuel pump recalibration and injector timing optimisation. Drive-by-wire throttle mapping has also been smoothed to suit the added mid-range pull. Factory ECU, no hardware changes, reliable gains where it counts.
Is this a safe daily tune for a customer who tows regularly?
Yes. The file stays within factory hardware limits and focuses on mid-range torque rather than chasing peak power. Ideal for towing and touring with a sensible safety margin.
What fuel does the tune require?
Standard diesel. No special fuel or additives required.
Does the customer need any hardware modifications before flashing this file?
No. Stage 1 is software-only. Factory turbo, injectors, and intake all remain untouched.
