The Landcruiser 300 Series is a powerful and versatile vehicle that has been a popular choice for various driving applications. As car enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike look for more power, many owners are turning to multi-mapping to unlock the full potential of the 300 series.
When it comes to optimising power and performance, multimapping has proven to be a game-changer for Landcruiser enthusiasts. This is an advanced tuning method that allows drivers to tailor their vehicle’s performance to suit specific driving conditions and preferences.
In this post, we go over some of the details of our 300 series multimapping services. From the benefits of multimapping to the specifics of what each map includes, so you have all the info you need to revolutionise your driving experience!
What is Multi-Mapping?
The Engine Control Unit (ECU) is the brain of your vehicle, responsible for controlling various aspects of its performance. While conventional ECU tuning involves adjusting a single engine map, ECU multi-mapping takes this idea to the next level. With multi-mapping, your Landcruiser 300 Series can adapt to a wide range of driving conditions and driver preferences, offering a truly personalised driving experience.
300 series multi-mapping involves creating and installing multiple maps within the ECU simultaneously. Each map is tailored to a specific driving condition or requirement, allowing for optimal performance in various scenarios.
The Benefits of Multi-Mapping Your Landcruiser
Whether you’re conquering off-road terrains, towing heavy loads, or cruising on the highway, the versatility of multi-mapping offers a number of advantages. These include:
Enhanced Performance and Power
One of the significant advantages of multi-mapping, and one that makes this upgrade so popular, is the ability to unlock the full potential of your Landcruiser 300 Series. By optimising engine parameters such as fuel delivery, ignition timing, and boost pressure, multi-mapping can significantly increase power and torque output. This translates into improved acceleration, better towing capacity, and overall enhanced performance on and off the road.
Customisable Driving Experience
With multi-mapping, you have the freedom to choose the driving experience that suits your preferences. Whether you prefer a smooth and fuel-efficient ride or a more aggressive and powerful performance, multi-mapping allows you to switch between different maps on the fly. This flexibility allows you to adapt your Landcruiser 300 Series to different driving conditions or simply cater to your mood and driving style.
Fuel Efficiency and Economy
While increased performance is a significant benefit of multi-mapping, many think that it comes at the expense of fuel efficiency. However, when properly calibrated, multi-mapping can improve fuel economy by optimising engine parameters to achieve maximum efficiency. By fine-tuning fuel delivery and other factors, multi-mapping can help you get more mileage out of every tank of fuel, saving you money in the long run!
Seamless Integration & Compatibility
ECU multi-mapping is designed to work seamlessly with your Landcruiser 300 Series, ensuring compatibility and reliability. As reputable auto-tuning specialists, we utilise advanced technology and expert knowledge to develop and install multiple maps, ensuring that they work with your vehicle’s existing systems.

ECO
The stock plus map is aimed at optimising fuel efficiency while maintaining stock boost levels and similar fuelling characteristics to the original ECU settings. This map is ideal for everyday driving scenarios where you want the perfect balance between performance and fuel economy. By fine-tuning various engine parameters, the stock plus map can help you achieve better fuel efficiency without sacrificing power.
Tow Mode
The tow tune map is specifically designed for towing heavy loads. It maximises low-end torque and provides ample power for towing large trailers or caravans. By adjusting fuel delivery, ignition timing, and boost pressure, the tow tune map ensures optimal performance while towing. This map eliminates flat spots, enhances throttle response, and provides the necessary power to handle demanding towing scenarios.
Power
The high-power map is the pinnacle of ECU multi-mapping for the Landcruiser 300 Series. This map unleashes the full power potential of your vehicle by bringing both turbos online simultaneously. With the high-power map, you can experience a significant increase in horsepower and torque, providing exhilarating acceleration and performance. This map is ideal for enthusiasts looking for maximum power output and an adrenaline-pumping driving experience.

Additionally, holding the button with automatically and quickly switch through the options.
Does My Cruise Control Still Work Like Normal?
A common question we often get is whether or not the cruise control will work as normal, and the answer is yes.
