Hey guys! Rob from Ultimate Diesel tuning. Today i'm at
the Brisbane store and behind me is a Ford Ranger PX2
Wildtrak. It's been in the store for a few days and we've
done a stack of upgrades to it.
This one has the 3.2 litre 5-cylinder turbocharged engine
in it, and it's a 2016 model. But it's one of the earlier
2016 ones without the DPF. These ones are regarded as
a "unicorn", as they are quite rare!
We've fitted one of our Ultimate Torque packages to this
one, and let me tell you, the power and torque results in
this thing will be super impressive!
Our Ultimate Torque Packages include the fitment of an
upgraded turbo-back or DPF-back exhaust system,
an upgraded intercooler,
An engine oil catch can,
an on-car chemical soot clean if required,
plus the fitment of one of our high-flowed
Ultimate Diesel Tuning turbochargers.
Then the job is finished off with a custom dyno tune to
suit these upgrades and also to suit the vehicles use
and the customer's requirements.
These packages are very popular and are getting
fantastic gains in power and torque, safely and reliably.
They retain the factory fuel system and if they've got a
DPF fitted, we retain those as well.
So with the pre-tune inspection done, the parts now all
fitted and the on-car chemical soot clean completed
lets put it on the dyno to finish it off with a custom dyno tune.
I can't wait to show you the awesome results we're
going to achieve for this Ranger!
This Wildtrak is used as a daily driver; it's also used to
tour around the country. It doesn't really have any heavy
accessories fitted to it as well.
He really wants to be able to drive the vehicle in the
Northern Territory doing up to 130 kilometres an hour
legally, and without it guzzling fuel. So with the tune, we
are going to be concentrating on achieving this for him.
First of all, for our custom dyno tuning procedure, we
carry out power runs on our all-wheel drive dyno in
standard form, to get base power and torque figures at
the wheels. This is how we know which vital information
and figures we are starting off with for each vehicle,
as every engine is different.
We also test to confirm the engine is running properly
with no underlying mechanical issues. Then we carry
out the custom dyno tune.
Our tuning process involves altering the software within
the vehicle's factory ECU. Using our specialist software,
our engineering team is able to carry out recalibration of
numerous engine control parameters - such as torque
limiting, desired torque, fuel injection maps, boost
control and many more. Via the use of our dyno we can
accurately test these software changes to each
individual car, whilst data logging the engine's
performance after each software revision. This process
sees multiple tunes tested until optimised power and
torque is achieved, based on the vehicle's use.
It's truly a customised tuning process.
We've now finished the Ultimate Torque Package to the
Ford Ranger PX2, by completing a custom dyno tune.
Now, let's take a look at the exciting results of how
much power and torque gains this car's made!
When the vehicle presented to us, before any of the
upgrades were done or the chemical soot clean on the
manifold, it had 109 Kilowatts of power and 368 Newton
meters of torque at the rear wheels. After installing the
Ultimate Torque Package, which included on this vehicle
a chemical clean on the intake manifold; fitment of a
catch can; an Ultimate Diesel Tuning high-flow turbo;
PWR front mount intercooler; as well as a three inch
turbo-back exhaust system; and finishing it off with a
custom dyno tune. The results are super impressive!
We went to 154 Kilowatts of power and 561 Newton
meters of torque, which represented a 42 percent gain
in peak power and 52 percent gain in torque!
And let me tell you, when this customer drives out,
he will notice a massive change between 1800 and
2000 rpm when the torque is absolutely on song!
Well, there you go guys, another PX Ranger out the door
with an Ultimate Torque Package with seriously
impressive results in power and torque! The owner of
this vehicle wanted to improve the turbo lag and get
some more serious power out of it, and haven't we
delivered that today with a 52 percent gain in torque,
which will absolutely feel like a different car when he
drives out this afternoon at four o'clock! But, the biggest
thing he's going to love is on the highway, he'll probably
see some serious savings in fuel!
