STAGE 1 | 180KW

BT50 UP & UR 3.2L | STAGE 1 | 180KW

The BT50 3.2L Stage-1 upgrade starts with our trained technician setting your vehicle up on one of our dynamometers and performing a baseline dyno run. This allows us to firstly make sure everything is working A-OK and secondly it gives us standard figure from your car to compare to once the upgrade is completed. 

Intercooler Piping
We then commence the upgrades by replacing the cold side intercooler pipe as the rubber hose leading up to the throttle body from the vehicle's intercooler is well known to fail even on totally standard vehicles. The result is a Check Engine Light, a lack of power and black smoke out of the exhaust. We replace this with a high-quality silicone part and new heavy duty hose clamps from Process West – this is great insurance and a permanent solution to the problem.

Diesel Tuning 
We complete the package by custom tuning your vehicle's ECU on the dyno in real time utilizing the latest ECU tuning software to maximize power, torque and fuel efficiency. We follow that up with testing your vehicle on the road to make final adjustments, optimizing your vehicle's performance and driveability. At the end of the upgrade, we provide you with a dyno graph comparing the before and after power & torque increase the upgrade has made to your vehicle.

For the most part, diesel 4×4’s are bought and employed to do a job, it may be towing, regularly carting heavy loads or used as daily transport with the odd trip off-road. Whatever is it, chances are that the vehicle may struggle to do that job in one area or another, maybe the vehicle struggles to pull the van or it uses too much fuel or it has annoying flat spots or a delay in the throttle response, no car is perfect. But by reprogramming the vehicles factory ECU, we can iron out those flat spots, increase the vehicle’s torque output and increase the general enjoyment of driving your diesel to get your car closer to perfect and help it to do the job you originally employed it to do.

Like all of our upgrade packages the Stage-1 package is modular in that it allows the customer to add to the package minimising the requirement to spend money twice when and if further upgrades are desired. We also always strive to bring you the maximum safe performance with high quality components while maintaining reliability and improving driveability.

Safety First 
We at HPF have a set of tuning guidelines in place that ensures we do not exceed predetermined SAFE air / fuel ratio & boost level parameters; in some cases, the air / fuel ratio is the same as standard. This guideline is in place to provide you with the safest and most reliable result and instead of chasing a maximum power figure, we tune your engine to these SAFE parameters and the increased power is a result of that. As each car is individually tuned on the dyno, the final outcome has been scrutinized and road tested prior to being returned to the customer.

"Stage 1 addresses reliability and engine longevity issues, while delivering you better throttle response with a noticeable increase in power and torque.

Notes

• Power figures listed are estimated kilowatts at the flywheel based on results typically obtained by HPF on HPF’s dynos. Typically these are based of a manual vehicle with standard driveline and standard wheels and tyres. Actual power can vary based on each specific vehicle.
• We advise against increasing the power output substantially on high kilometer engines, if your engine has in excessive of 150,000kms please contact us to discuss options.
• Whilst every attempt is made to ensure prices listed online are correct, they are subject to change at any time.
• Additional parts may be required in some cases depending on the condition of the vehicle. Cost of these parts and additional labor required may incur additional cost.
