SAFARI DTRONIC - SD-120 MODEL

Hilux Turbo Diesel equipped with Factory Intercooled Turbo D4D Engine (Apr 2005 onwards)

With already impressive performance in standard form, the Turbo Diesel Hilux can at times be lacking. When heavily loaded or towing, the lack of torque is even more pronounced - necessitating higher engine revs in a lower gear - and poor fuel economy.

By making fine adjustments to the EFI strategy - particularly to the injection timing settings, significant gains are made with Dtronic across the entire RPM range. More importantly, improvements are made in the areas of the RPM range that benefit most.

The improvements to the performance and efficiency of the engine are achieved through precise, independent tuning of fuel and injection timing parameters at individual and discrete points relative to the combination of engine load and engine RPM. In addition, this flexibility in tuning at descrete points delivers added benefits in that significant gains are made where it is prudent to and mild gains at very high and very low engine RPM - where it would be irresponsible to force the engine to produce higher power. In other words, regardless of the throttle position or engine RPM, the Dtronic computer delivers the best EFI strategy.

In order to produce these outstanding results, accurate injection timing control through the Dtronic computer is an essential function. Accurate injection timing control is also critical not only for the best possible fuel consumption, but also to control peak exhaust gas temperatures for optimum durability.

The Dtronic computer can be simply unplugged at any time - thus returning the vehicle back to factory ECU control.

The Safari Dtronic computer provides significant benefits in both on and off-road operation:

  • improved acceleration for safer overtaking
  • maintain comfortable cruising speeds when towing in undulating conditions
  • improved 4x4 performance in both desert and high country terrain
  • improved throttle response for finer vehicle control in technical 4WD conditions
  • improved acceleration after installation of increased diameter tyres
  • improved towing performance
