5 MODS EVERY MODERN DIESEL OWNER SHOULD DO - all under $1,500! Get 30% more power, more reliability 

Myself watching this with my 2h that runs on vegetable oil 🤣

I’ve got a 1995 ln106 Hilux, I’d love it if you guys (maybe Jocko) could do a tips & tricks or mods for older fourbies

320k on my 200, zero mods and zero issues. I think regular servicing is the key.

Best what to do video guys! Love you guys from brissie! I actually watched you guys do a snow trip 5 years back. It was my favourite thing to watch!

When i saw this on your IG story i had to hope on real quick! thanks for this much needed information i didnt know i needed 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks we really needed that, if anyone needs anything you guys are the guys to go to

Love the videos guys. Graham could you bring your mountain bike on a trip one time? Love to see some riding!

Good advice. Additionally, you should perform diesel oil changes and filter at least every 10,000km with synthetic oil in common-rail engines (6,000km if round town and lots of idling in traffic). Thanks

Really like the tip for the intake mate! I'll definitely look in to it when I reach som 30 or 40k. Great video again shauno mate! By the way would love to see a tutorial vid on modding / lifting suspension! Keep those great videos posted mate, love from Belgium🤘

My commonrail patrol has egr block, provent 200 catch can and a custom tune from ufi and I 100% agree with shauno about all being good mods and to keep engine healthy and live a long life (hopefully!!)

Great practical advice that I didn't know!

Aahh yes I haven't checked my intake yet 🤔 cheers Shauno

I have a 2015 JKU wrangler and i also added a catch can! Crazy after a couple thousand miles there is some crap in there, not a ton, but def some! I do have a 3.6l v6 pentastar. Added the snorkel too! Lots of mud in minnesota just like you aussie guys in the summers!

Hi temp alarm. I use a dry mount probe type with 2 channels. Install one on the rear of the head, other on the transmission. Will warn driver of any issues like bad fan, low coolant, split transmission hose before any oem gauge.

Great videos. Would like one on airbox upgrades for my 200 series

Yes Shauno!! My vans going to be a ripper after this!!!

hey shauno, when is the big 200 going to hit the tracks i cant wait to see it.

Nice one Jesse, not bad for a plumber 😉. Great work shop set up too 🤩

Go the Direction Plus gear. Easy install with everything you need. I have everything they have to offer on my Everest and haven’t had an issue.

My dad used to put a regular inline fuel filter in front of his diesel filter. Changed with every service and every time I was shocked how dirty it was

Great info shauno

I've just fitted a second fuel filler from a wrecked l200 on my 05 L200 4wd, in preping to run it on vege oil

Shauno. When will we see the rest of the build video of your LC200? It's looking schmick from this video.

Is there an optimum time to do a custom tune? Ex. After at least 5000km, or can you do it straight from the factory? Is it necessary to do it again after some time, or is a tune a once off that will have the same benefit throughout your vehicles life?

On the 2011-2020 BT’s or Rangers replace the hot and cold side intercooler hoses. You can kits for $150.

Hey shauno, wouldn't the box tune be better on the 200's now that they can modify the shift points and lockup points? Rather than having a box to tell you box to tell your box when to lock up. Just tune the box so the ECU controls it all rather than an intercept of PWM signal.

Hi Shauno, I love your many adventures and dream of a chance to get out and experience the same one day. Just a question about who you'd recommend in Sydney - Unfortunately we don't have an Ultimate Diesel Tuning centre (that I know of) in Sydney, do you have anyone you could recommend? Thanks

Install some fans on vehicles with a top mount intercooler. They dont enough airflow without fans specially when moving slowly and will tell the ecu the intake temps are high and will reduce power

What’s this..? A Tuesday upload, how goods that!

Have yet to find a pre fuel filter and catch can kit that fits a 2007 79 series workmate, no ABS and fuse box are in the way of everything.

Thanks legends!

can you use a factory fuel filter as a secondary fuel filter as they are easy to get and take the same filters?

I was looking at putting an oil cooler on my 6 speed 3.2 Ranger, am I better with a lock up kit on the transmission or should I do both?

G'day Shauno! Love all your guys content! Quick question: What if you happened to install a catch can at 100,000kms in your 4wd without getting an intake clean first? Can you still get it done or will it damage your catch can poly pipes etc?

Would be keen on a wheel selection video, steel vs alloy and all that goes with it

Never thought you guys would put out a video i couldn't care less for. But good for the Diesel owners 👍

Never do a carbon clean by pushing it through the engine. You'll glaze the cylinders and blow it up. Take everything off up to the head and ultrasonic clean yourself or find a shop that does it properly and not just rev the crap out of your engine pushing it through and leaving most of it jammed up at the head ports.

Lock up kit is the best mod you can do for an auto if you do sand driving and towing. Even everyday driving its worth it, if drive in S mode.

EGR's need to be banned, it's just manufacturers being cheap. They kill more engines than they help. I'm helping my dad replace the high pressure fuel pump on his Discovery 3 and the intakes are caked in gunk at 180,000km. One mod I like to do is upgrading the exhaust. Gives a little bit of power but I've also found it help economy by letting the engine breath easier.

Gave ultimate diesel tuning a call for a nice engine check over on a 4jj1. No tune. And was turned away cos it’s had 330,000 long distance km on it.

Been waiting all week for this

oil seperator container there are many types out that taking that your run your crankcase fumes through extracting the oil out before it goes back into the intake manifold, will reduce extensively that gunk buildup

Hi Shauno, could you recommend anyone in WA for the torque converter lock up? Cheers

i drive a 1993 hylux 2l diesel it will be cool if you do videos for old cars too.

More updates on your LC 200 Shauno please….

I want one of those shirts that shauno has!!

Lock up kit is the best mod you can do for an auto if you do sand driving and towing. Ever everyday driving its worth it, if drive in S mode.

Can you do best mods for old 4wd too

I think I deserve to go on a trip with one of you boys when covids out maybe a shoot and fish message me!

I drive a new Volvo XC60 AWD with B4 Diesel engine. Do these apply or are these mods for big trucks only? Thanks.

Hey legends , i got a question what's the average cost to rebuild a diesel engine?

Good advice that!

Is a lock up kit available for the NP300?

Hey Shauno, where would you rate a larger exhaust, airbox and snorkel? Best to do those things before a custom dyne tune?

What roof top tents do you guys run

Perfect I’m about to get a brand new car and gonna get most of these done to it.

I heard a chemical clean can destroy your DPF. Do you bypass it?

Every question answered. You guys are the go to for anything 4WD. Thanks for another awesome and valuable vid to keep us traveling around our awesome country!!!

How to really clean you intake, get rid of the egr.

is this Information good to take on borad for a 2002 hilux

EGR systems should be a fairly regular service item for inspection & cleaning when required, no further action needed. They've been fitted for a couple of decades now, so we should know what to expect & what to do with them. Adding a catch can is a placebo & nothing more as all it does is act as a condenser for the gaseous moisture in the hot exhaust gas, which likely catches some solid particles & then sits around in the catch can gathering more condensed liquid, then evaporating on a constant cycle until you get that half teaspoon of unidentified syrup which supposedly saves your engine somehow. I don't think they do anything particularly harmful, but they definitely don't achieve anything either. Service your EGR systems! I'm an automotive design engineer btw 👍

Great vid mate, I have used Ultimate diesel tuning on my previous Prado and can't fault the performance but a question that gets asked a lot is what happens if you get a tune on a new vehicle, as in the new car warranty??

That was bugger all oil, in my MQ triton, I have taken a couple of wine bottles worth of oil out from the catch can in just over 50K!

Hi Shauno, where to buy this catch can?

You should try Sea Foam in your diesel and mist it into the air intakes, that will clean out any carbon build up with ease!

How much is an intake clean? How much is a catch can? How much is a tune and dyno?

Hey Shauno, I thought the 200 was a new .

When are we going to see a video for those out there with petrols?

got a question for you guys: where do you start to learn to do these mods? is it from a friend, or from a garage, or other? how can I learn the best I can with doing these mods? e.g., knowing where to attach hoses, where to get a custom bracket done... etc. as someone who's never worked on an engine before, in the end of this experience, I want to be able to some of these mods myself. Cheers guys

ust wondering if there is any reason why we never see an Amarok on any of your trips?? I'm looking at putting a new one together later this year if any one had any suggestions ??

Should do petrol aswell

Keen for this one

Uft quoted 3500 for those mods listed in the vid 1000 for a soot clean??

Please do a petrol one

That’s great for my car

I’ve got an hj47 with a stock old 2h. Is it worth getting a tune not necessarily to make it faster but just to make it last longer as they are getting a bit long in the tooth now

Done all these mods to my 3L D4D motor apart from a tune. I got a blanking plate put on my egr, what does that actually do? Minimise crap going back through??

My 2019 hilux has done 340,000km I service it myself around 20-30,000 I do alot of kms I flog the arse out of it drive it hard and treat her like shit but she has never missed a beat, my opinion is there work horses and made to be driven hard.

What if you have a dpf do you need all this done for reliability in the long run.

Mate remove the filter and fill to the top with ss wool and you will only need to drain catch and stop the risk of low vac from dirty filter

Is there an easy way to check if you need a intake clean? I have an facelifted N70 D4D Hilux with 200k on the clock. Any suggestions?

I did a full delete on my Duramax, larger piping, and tuned it. Old piping was full of soot. Definitely came to life and gained 3mpg

Wish I could find someone to Dyno my fourB…

Can we do one on petrol?

Would all this be applicable to a new ranger with a throttle controller ?

Do same video but with old 4wd

Get the egr valve cleaned aswell. As you never want to block them up or bypass them. That's how most modern p plate 4bys end up rekt

Are these mods worth it for duse pump?

any tips for guys with older diesels?

Really glad i have a 12 valve cummins so i dont have to deal with any of this

Hi Shauno, you guys don't talk about or bring Patrols on your shows. We Patrols fun's feel neglected n we are part of 4wd 24/7 family. We believe n trust Patrols should respected as a formidable 4wd. Shauno tell Graham is letting us down. Love your content, much love from Nairobi Kenya.

Also, is removing your DPF also seen as an engine mod?! Been thinking about doing something about it too but don't quite know what the restrictions are in Belgium.. I guess in Australia you can just remove or modify it without anyone yanking about it...

Tune the EGR off and throw the catch cans in the bin! Nothing but trouble and not needed after a tune, no soot in the intake with no EGR…

You guys get all the cool rigs 😢

Only problem is with a catch can is that it tends to cause the rain main seal on a np300 to leak.

Please do petrol next

when you have a petrol engine but you still watch the video

I have a question for the experts. The lock up kit mentioned here - is that the same as the now Isuzu standard lock-up torque converter? (The question shows my lack of knowledge, but I have ordered the BT-50 variant of the 2021 Isuzu (mainly towing, no real 4WD anticipated). Already for the pre fuel filter & catch can ordered), looking for a safe place for a dyna tune, but not sure about the lock up thing. Thanks

What's your experience with catch cans with new cars? Because I've been told time and time again that they void your factory warranty

Seems like petrol engine are more reliable these days. Even my 3.4L had lasted 300,000+km with no mods
