Why Upgrade Your Toyota Anyway?
As one of the most popular vehicles offered by Toyota, the Hilux is known for its high factory torque compared to other models. However, there is always room for improvement when it comes to factory settings and manufacturer specifications. With a range of modifications and upgrades available, it is now easier than ever before to get your Hilux to reach its full potential.
These upgrades can enhance the overall power and torque of the vehicle, providing you with improved acceleration and towing capabilities. Additionally, various performance upgrades can also enhance the vehicle’s handling and responsiveness, making it more enjoyable to drive. But it’s not just about raw power. Upgrades can also optimise fuel efficiency, allowing you to get more out of every drop of fuel. Lastly, performance upgrades can extend the lifespan of your Hilux by reducing strain on the engine and other components.
Enhance Your Toyota Hilux with an Upgraded Exhaust System
When it comes to enhancing the performance of your Toyota Hilux, one effective modification is a performance exhaust system. Swapping out the factory exhaust for a high-performance aftermarket system is a game-changer.
These upgrades are meticulously engineered to minimise back pressure, allowing your engine to breathe more freely. The result? A noticeable surge in power and torque, translating to improved acceleration and overall performance. But it’s not just about power; upgraded exhaust systems are designed to deliver a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note that sets your Hilux apart from the rest.
At Just Autos, we offer a diverse range of upgraded exhaust systems, including a full stainless-steel setups with multiple configurations. Our mandrel-bent designs, combined with straight-through mufflers, eliminate the restrictive factory components, paving the way for a higher-flowing exhaust system without an drone inside the cab.
Turbocharge Your Toyota Hilux for Thrilling Performance
One, overlooked, yet vital component when upgrading your Hilux is the turbo charger. Responsible for maximising the amount of air your engine receives, swapping out the stock turbocharger for a larger, more efficient counterpart directly translates into increase power and performance of your vehicle.
This upgrade is particularly beneficial for those who frequently carry heavy loads or tow trailers or for those looking to upgrading other parts of your engine, like the exhaust system. Additionally, a high-performance turbocharger can also improve fuel efficiency by maximising the combustion process, allowing you to get more mileage out of each tank of fuel.
Recognising this, Just Autos offer a range of high-quality G-turbo kits and a selection of genuine and factory replacement turbos that have been designed to fit a range of Hilux models, including the N70 and N80. Our G-turbos kits come equipped with everything you need for a swift and hassle-free installation, pairing these kits with a line-up of intercoolers, piping kits, fittings, clamps, hoses, and every other piece of the puzzle necessary for a comprehensive upgrade.
Experience Cooler Power with a Hilux N80 Intercooler Upgrade Kit
An intercoolers role is simple yet crucial, taking the compressed air generated by the turbocharger and cooling it before the air enters the engine. That is why for those upgrading the performance of their vehicle, an intercooler kit becomes a necessity.
While Toyota’s factory intercooler may be able to handle the increased flow, intercooler upgrades are often recommended to maximise cooling efficiency. This is especially important for extended drives or when hauling large and substantial loads.
Unlock Your Hilux’s Potential With Expert ECU Remapping
With the potential for a higher capacity for power, ECU remapping is a popular performance upgrade for Toyota Hilux owners. The engine control unit (ECU) is responsible for managing various aspects of the engine’s performance, including fuel delivery, ignition timing, and turbo boost pressure.
By remapping the ECU, you can optimise these settings to improve overall performance. ECU remapping can increase power and torque, enhance throttle response, and improve fuel efficiency without the need for any costly hardware upgrades or modifications. This makes it an efficient yet affordable upgrade for new enthusiasts or experienced drivers on a budget. ECU remapping can even extend the life of your diesel engine, making it a dual investment in both performance and longevity!

Seamless Power Delivery with Transmission Lock-Up Kit Upgrades
Overheating poses a significant challenge for any vehicle’s transmission system. While factory systems typically perform adequately for standard driving scenarios, they may not be the ideal choice for demanding situations such as towing and off-roading, which require enhanced performance.
Upgrading the transmission can significantly reduce slip within the torque converter, resulting in lower transmission temperatures. This not only prolongs the lifespan of your transmission but also enhances power transfer efficiency, resulting in improved acceleration and responsiveness.
At Just Autos, we’ve taken a step further in redefining vehicle performance with our innovative software-based Easy-Lock upgrade for the original manufacturer’s ECU. Unlike conventional automatic transmissions that operate within pre-set parameters for lockup and unlock functions, our Easy-Lock system, compatible with the Hilux N80, enhances the engagement of the lockup clutch, adapting seamlessly to diverse driving conditions. This results in superior control and optimised power transfer.
