Prado Upgrades For Maximum Performance

November 11, 2022

If you’re like most Prado owners, you’re probably not entirely happy with the performance figures your vehicle delivers. Straight from the factory, most Prado’s provide pretty underwhelming performance.

There are a range of performance modifications to improve your Prado’s performance, reliability, and towing capacity, such as exhaust upgrades, injector upgrades, turbo and intercooler upgrades, and customised ECU and diesel tuning services. If you want to see a real difference in how your Prado performs on the road (and off it!), we can show you how and help get the job done.

Our team of experienced auto technicians can provide a range of upgrades to your Prado, all designed to make sure you get the most out of your vehicle. We offer everything from upgrades to your engine and transmission, injection systems, ECU remapping and full exhaust upgrades – all designed to make sure you’re getting the best performance possible.

Toyota Prado Performance Upgrades

The Prado’s Biggest Issues – and Why Performance Matters

Most Prado owners are looking for ways to improve their vehicle’s performance for one simple reason: the stock performance figures just aren’t good enough. On top of that, the LandCruiser Prado 150 – one of the more popular Prado models – can experience a range of issues that result in poor performance and a less than desirable driving experience.

Prado owners around Australia have reported component issues like clogged diesel particulate filters (DPF), reduced fuel economy, lowered responsiveness, and even fuel injector failures. Just one of these issues is enough to impact performance, but when combined, they can spell disaster for your engine.

Despite this, the Prado 150 is still a fantastic diesel to own and drive, and its engine is capable of much more than what Toyota have it tuned for – and that’s where our team comes in. We know how to get the most out of your Prado’s engine, and we can help you do it, too.

At Just Autos, we specialise in Prado upgrades to maximise performance. Our team of experts can tune and modify your Prado 150 to unleash its real potential, without compromising on reliability or safety. We start by thoroughly inspecting your engine, and then suggest the most suitable modifications for optimal performance and reliability.

Just Auto’s Prado Performance Upgrades

The Toyota Prado is a popular model, especially amongst towing and touring enthusiasts. Both the 2.8 and 3.0l engines have huge potential for increased power and performance, just waiting to be tapped into!

Just Autos offers a selection of Toyota Prado performance upgrades that can be tailored to your needs. Whether you want more torque, horsepower, or even greater towing ability, we can provide you with the right performance upgrade kit or package.

Prado Exhaust Upgrades

A good place to start when it comes to performance upgrades is with the Prado’s exhaust system. The factory exhaust is designed for quieter operation and to meet emissions regulations, which unfortunately means that it does little to improve performance

A performance exhaust system from Just Autos will help your Prado breathe easier, allowing your engine to operate more efficiently and freeing up power that was previously restricted by the stock exhaust. We offer a range of options depending on your needs and budget, so you can be sure to find the perfect exhaust upgrade for your Prado.

Prado Turbo Upgrades to Bolster Airflow

Coupling your exhaust upgrade with a better turbo makes sense. After all, your turbocharger is responsible for forcing more air into the engine, and therefore plays a big role in how much power it can produce

Just Autos offers a range of turbocharger upgrades that will help improve airflow and allow your engine to produce more power. Partnering with GTurbo, we have a range of bolt-on turbo upgrades for the 2.8 and 3.0 Prado diesel platform. We also offer intercooler upgrades to further improve performance by keeping intake air temperatures low, meaning your engine can run at its optimal temperature and produce maximum power

Diesel Injector Upgrades for Greater Fuel Efficiency

Another way to improve performance (and fuel economy!) is with injector upgrades. Just Autos can supply and install a range of diesel injectors, designed to deliver the perfect amount of fuel directly into your engine. This results in a more efficient combustion process, and can therefore encourage more power and better fuel economy.

If you’re looking to get maximum performance out of your Prado, injector upgrades are the way to go. We offer injector upgrades for all Prado models, including the 2.8 and 3.0l engines. Our injector upgrades can increase fuel efficiency and improve power output, giving your ride a boost in performance. Our upgraded injectors are designed specifically for Toyota Prado models.

Custom ECU Tuning for the Ultimate Performance Boost

If you’re looking for the ultimate performance upgrade for your Prado, look no further than our custom ECU tuning service. This involves reprogramming your engine control unit (ECU) to run at a better output, resulting in increased power and torque across the rev range

A custom ECU remap on the Toyota Prado can achieve considerable gains in torque even if you want to retain most factory components and, on average, should deliver around 25-30% gains in torque. More torque can be achieved by upgrading to one of our custom packages, which could include upgraded turbos and intercoolers, depending on your needs.

Transmission and Intercooler Upgrades

The Toyota Prado is a popular choice for those seeking reliable and rugged vehicle for 4WD applications. But, if you’re looking to squeeze out maximum performance from your Prado, some upgrades are necessary to get the most out of it.

One of the main ways to improve the Prado’s performance is by upgrading its transmission. The A340 transmission and A750 transmission that the Toyota Prado comes factory-fitted with, is known to be quite an indecisive gearbox and hesitates between gear changes. Installing a aftermarket performance transmission upgrades such as Just Autos TCM tuning, will improve shifting response and increase power transfer from the engine to the wheels.

One of the best upgrades to improve vehicle reliability and performance, is an intercooler upgrade. An intercooler is an important component in a turbocharged or supercharged engine. It works by cooling the compressed intake air from the turbocharger, allowing it to run at higher pressures and densities , resulting in improved performance and vehicle reliability.
