However, for those looking to take their LandCruiser’s performance to the next level, Power Curve Automotive has a remarkable solution. We recently had the pleasure of working on Lachlan’s 2022 LandCruiser 79 Series, and the results were nothing short of astounding. In this blog post, we’ll dive deep into the job we carried out at Power Curve Automotive, focusing on diesel ECU tuning and the accompanying upgrades, including the installation of an Exedy Safari Tuff Clutch Kit and a Redback Stainless 4″ DPF Back Exhaust System.

Key Features of Diesel ECU Tuning on the Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series:
ncreased Power: Diesel ECU tuning optimizes the engine’s parameters, resulting in a significant increase in power output. In Lachlan’s case, his 2022 LandCruiser saw a remarkable boost in horsepower and torque, providing more grunt for both on-road and off-road adventures.
Improved Fuel Efficiency: Contrary to the misconception that tuning always reduces fuel efficiency, modern ECU tuning can actually enhance it. By optimizing the air-to-fuel ratio and combustion processes, you can expect better mileage, which is a huge plus for long journeys.
Enhanced Drivability: The custom tuning at Power Curve Automotive ensures that your LandCruiser delivers a smoother and more responsive driving experience. You’ll notice improved throttle response and reduced turbo lag, making it easier to navigate challenging terrains.
Towing and Off-Roading Capability: If you’re a LandCruiser owner who frequently tows heavy loads or ventures into off-road terrain, ECU tuning can significantly enhance your vehicle’s towing and off-roading capabilities. The increased torque will make light work of challenging situations.
Exedy Safari Tuff Clutch Kit: Handling the Extra Torque of the Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series V8 Turbo Diesel 2022
With the extra torque generated by the Diesel ECU Tune, it’s crucial to ensure that your LandCruiser can handle the added power. That’s where the Exedy Safari Tuff Clutch Kit comes into play.
Key Features of the Exedy Safari Tuff Clutch Kit:
High Torque Capacity: Exedy is renowned for its clutch kits, and the Safari Tuff variant is specifically designed to handle high torque applications. It’s a perfect match for the increased torque output from the Diesel ECU Tune.
Durability: Off-roading and heavy-duty use can put a lot of strain on your clutch. The Safari Tuff Clutch Kit is built to last, with a focus on durability and longevity, ensuring that your LandCruiser is ready for the toughest challenges.
Smooth Engagement: Despite its robust construction, the Safari Tuff Clutch Kit offers smooth and precise engagement. This means you won’t sacrifice drivability for durability.
Enhanced Off-Road Capability: Whether you’re crawling over rocks or navigating muddy trails, a reliable clutch is essential. The Safari Tuff Clutch Kit ensures that your LandCruiser is up to the task, no matter the terrain.
Redback Stainless 4" DPF Back Exhaust System: Unleash the Roar
To complement the increased power and torque, a proper exhaust system is essential. The Redback Stainless 4″ DPF Back Exhaust System is a perfect choice for LandCruiser owners looking to enhance their vehicle’s sound and performance.
Key Features of the Redback Stainless 4" DPF Back Exhaust System for the Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series V8 Turbo Diesel 2022 Model:
Improved Exhaust Flow: The larger diameter of the 4-inch exhaust system allows for improved exhaust gas flow, reducing backpressure. This results in better engine performance and responsiveness.
Enhanced Sound: While the LandCruiser’s V8 Turbo Diesel engine is known for its reliability, it often lacks the characteristic V8 rumble. The Redback exhaust system adds a deep and powerful tone to your LandCruiser’s exhaust note, giving it a more commanding presence on the road and off it.
Stainless Steel Construction: The use of stainless steel ensures that the exhaust system is corrosion-resistant, ideal for off-road enthusiasts who encounter harsh environmental conditions.
Bolt-On Installation: The Redback exhaust system is designed for a straightforward bolt-on installation, making it an easy upgrade for your LandCruiser.
Custom Power Curve Automotive Diesel ECU Tune: The Perfect Match
