Hey guys, it's Rob from Ultimate Diesel Tuning!
Behind me is a brand new Mitsubishi Triton MR,
2021 model, and it's in for a bit of work.
This Triton's already had a fair bit
of work done to it already.
It's got a front bar on it;
winch;
33-inch tyres; suspension upgrade;
snorkel and at the back of it it's got a really
nice fitted-out canopy, because the owner
of this car is a tradie as well.
The owner of this vehicle uses it for his work
every day, but on top of that he loves getting
away on the weekends and throwing the camper
on the back, and hitting the beaches and bush.
The Triton's in for a three-inch DPF-back exhaust
system, catch can, and we're finishing off with a
custom dyno tune based on the customer's driving
conditions and what the vehicle's been used for.
Before we do any work on any vehicles, no matter
how old they are or brand new, we always get
them in the workshop and do a pre-tune inspection
to make sure they're Mickey Mouse and ready to go.
So guys, we've just fitted up the DPF-back exhaust
system, fitted the catch can and finished
it off with a custom dyno tune,
let's check out the results.
Rob: "So we've got Trent, the owner of the
Mitsubishi Triton here, and I'm actually going to
talk him through the numbers for it, and then I
want to get him in the car and take him for
a drive. But Trent, first of all, what was the
first thing that made you think about getting
the car tuned - why'd you want to do it?"
Trent: "More power"
Rob: "Yeah look, the number one reason with Triton owners I think is they really want
to get rid of that sort of lag when you go to take off the line.
Yeah, is that something that you've noticed with yours?"
Trent: "Yeah, when you're taking off slow, you just need to get more torque to pick it up"
Rob: "Mate, that's what the tune will actually really really deliver, and the big noticeable
difference is when it first came in here, it had 94 Kilowatts of power and
332 Newton meters of torque, so that's pretty standard. You know, you've got 33- inch tyres on
it as well, which (is what) I'd expect. after we completed doing all the work to it - the
exhaust system, the custom dyno tune - it went to 124 Kilowatts of power and 430 Newton meters
of torque. We're talking over 33 percent gain in peak power and 30 percent gain in torque!"
Trent: "Wow, alright!"
Rob: "So see down here, under 2000RPM, there's so
much more difference, and that's what you're going to notice when you go to take off
- you've got your van behind you - it'll just be really noticeable to drive.
But, mate, numbers are one thing, let's jump in the rig and take it for a spin!"
Trent: "Let's do it!"
Trent: "Woohoo! Lordy!"
Rob: "What'd you think?"
Trent: "Oh, it definitely takes off, definitely takes off!"
Rob: "Awesome! So Trent, one of the noticeable things as you said is when
you go to take off - so, this is a bit of an elevation, just see what you think,
you know how you usually drive, and see what the difference is now"
Trent: "Yeah, it is crazy... crazy"
(Vehicle accelerating, engine revving)"
Trent: "Whoa, Jesus, might have to tone it down a little bit!"
Rob: "Yeah, that's awesome! And you'll also notice obviously with your snorkel (stainless), now you
hear a bit of that, with the window down, you hear a bit of that induction noise as well"
Trent: "Yeah she's definitely got the turbo (noise) that you can hear. Yeah
that's not too crazy, but like with the stainless (snorkel) so that's great"
Rob: "And just the partial throttle, like not accelerating and just going
hard on the throttle, just your partial throttle, it's really good too"
Trent: "Yeah, so, I mean it doesn't kick in too hard, it's just nice and subtle, but when you
really want the power down, (for it) to go - you put it (your foot) down and it just goes!"
Rob: "Well Trent, what do you think?"
Trent: "Awesome"
Rob: "Yeah"
Trent: "Awesome!"
Rob: "Mate, I'm glad, I mean I saw that reaction on your face when we
first jumped in and put your foot on the accelerator, just to take off. So, mate,
I think that said a million, million words for me about how you're impressed with it!"
Trent: "Definitely!"
Rob: "Yeah, awesome!"
