Hey guys, Rob from Ultimate Diesel Tuning.
Today, we've got something a little bit different to show you, it's a 2018 Izuzu NPR Tradepack truck. Check it out!
This truck is a great bit of gear as you can see, and it's fitted with a 5.2-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine.
So this truck's used to tow a 2-ton excavator, a big trailer and a lot of gear in the back, so we are going to focus on
this when we tune the vehicle. As well as that the customer reported really bad fuel consumption and
(it's) really sluggish down low, so we want to make sure we fix this for the customer and really improve it for him.
The guys have just given the truck an inspection to ensure that the engine oil and coolant levels are good
and that there are no fluid leaks evident.
The truck is all good and ready to be tuned.
The first step in the tuning procedure is we run the vehicle up on the dyno in standard form,
to get base power and torque figures. Then we carry out the custom 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.
Each vehicle is put on our all-wheel drive dyno so 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 the optimized power and torque is achieved, based on the vehicle's use.
It truly is a customized tuning process.
We've now completed the custom dyno tune on the Isuzu truck. Let's check it out!
In standard form, the truck made 78 Kilowatts and 320 Newton meters at the rear wheels.
After completing the custom dyno tune, it went to 128 Kilowatts of power and 499 Newton Meters of torque!
This represents a 65 percent gain in peak power and a 56 percent gain in peak torque!
What an excellent result we've achieved for this customer for his Isuzu truck.
He wanted better response, more torque and more power; and a saving at the fuel bowser, to tow his excavator.
We've delivered a 65 percent gain in peak power, which is an outstanding result
and as you'd expect at Ultimate Diesel Tuning!
So there you go guys, we can tune trucks.
