If you own a Mitsubishi MR Triton and are looking to enhance its all-around performance, a custom dyno tune might
be just what you need. Here is a closer look at how this specialised service can transform your vehicle’s driveability,
particularly in terms of reducing turbo lag and improving mid-range torque.
Understanding the Vehicle’s Purpose: Before diving into the details of the custom dyno tuning process, it’s crucial to
understand the owner’s requirements. In this case, the Triton serves multiple roles. It’s used as a daily driver,
frequently navigates the sandy stretches of Fraser Island, and often tows around 2.5 tonnes. Additionally, the vehicle
is equipped with a canopy and roof racks, adding extra weight that must be considered during tuning.
The Importance of Custom Tuning: Custom dyno tuning is not a one-size-fits-all solution. To achieve the best results,
our engineers need to gather detailed information about how the vehicle is used. This includes the typical load,
driving conditions, and any additional modifications. This comprehensive approach ensures that the tune is tailored
to the specific needs of the vehicle and its owner.
The Tuning Process At Ultimate Diesel Tuning: Every vehicle undergoes a pre-tune inspection. This step is essential
to confirm that the vehicle is in optimal mechanical condition—free from oil leaks and ready for the custom tuning
process. This 2021 Triton had already passed this inspection and was then set up on the dyno for its performance
enhancements.
Dyno Results: Before and After! Here’s a breakdown of the performance improvements achieved through the
custom dyno tune:
Before Tuning Power: 98 Kilowatts (at the rear wheels)
Before Tuning Torque: 347 Newton meters (at the rear wheels)
After Tuning Power: 121 Kilowatts (at the rear wheels)
After Tuning Torque: 435 Newton meters (at the rear wheels)
This results in a significant 26% increase in peak torque, which translates to noticeable improvements in towing
capacity and overall driving experience! Furthermore, the responsiveness below 2,000 RPM has been markedly
enhanced, addressing the initial turbo lag issue.
Beyond Numbers – Enhancing Driveability: While the increased power and torque gains are both very impressive,
the true benefit of a custom dyno tune is the overall improvement in driveability. The vehicle’s performance in
everyday driving conditions becomes smoother and more responsive, making each journey more enjoyable and
efficient.
