We recently had the pleasure of carrying out a post-purchase inspection on this SASโ€™d RC Colorado.

The customer travelled all the way from Victoria to QLD to pick it up, and on the trip home swung by the workshop so we could give it a thorough once-over.

Apart from a few minor mechanical items from general wear and tear, the vehicle checked out really well with nothing major to report.

The Colorado had previously been tuned but came with no paperwork, so we went through all fuel system values and live data before putting it on the dyno. We then ran boost and AFR logging to make sure everything was safe and healthy.

Happy to report the tune was spot on ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ

With only a small list of maintenance items to sort once back home, the customer was able to hit the road with confidence knowing the engine and tune were safe and performing as they should.

If a general check up or youโ€™re unsure about your current tune we are happy to help in providing peace of mind.

This tune was developed with reliability, economy and drivability in mind, keeping all factory components untouched for now, with room for future upgrades like a front-mount intercooler ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Results speak for themselves:

Letโ€™s talk exhausts!

Another of our frequently asked question has been addressed in new blog post below.

Furthermore there is a misconception that exhaust upgrades result in a loud exhaust - this is not the case.

There are options for every noise level, from quiet to loud, and we will always build an exhaust option to suit each customers goal.

Upgrade your 4WD with Australian-made exhausts built for performance, reliability and towing. Premium fitment, better flow, lower EGTs. Do it right.

Neat and mean N70 in for a simple remap ๐Ÿ”ฅ

This customer picked up the car stock and within 3 months had already turned it into a beast.

Not long after purchase, the factory turbo let go. After a chat over the phone, we decided a Flex Pro VNT would be the best option to suit his setup and goals.

We sent it out for him to fit, which got him back on the road and ready to make the 3-hour trip from Canberra for the Modified Explorer remap and hard cut.

Once on the dyno, the results spoke for themselves:

192HP / 536NM ๐Ÿ’ช

Setup includes:
โœ” Stock injectors
โœ” Auto on 33s
โœ” Tune focused on long-term reliability and economy

We dialled it in to:
18psi
18:1 AFR

Exactly what the customer wanted โ€” safe, reliable power with the hard cut added on request.

This N70 looks tough, drives great, and sounds even better on hard cut ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ.

Weโ€™ve officially started a blog series!

Our goal is to answer some of the most frequently asked questions, share general insights into diesel performance, and help clear up some of the myths and misinformation surrounding the diesel industry.

If thereโ€™s a topic you think the general public would find interesting or useful to learn about, flick us a PM and weโ€™ll look into covering it!

When it comes to diesel performance, not all tuning is created equal. At Modified Explorer, we see it all the time - vehicles running poorly written โ€œoff-the-shelfโ€ tunes, generic files copied across dozens of vehicles, and customers left dealing with excessive smoke, poor drivability, high exha...

Late model D-MAX in for our most popular ECU/TCU package ๐Ÿ”ฅ

This one arrived with some tasteful supporting mods already fitted by the customer, including an upgraded front mount intercooler, transmission cooler, and exhaust โ€” a solid setup to complement the tune.

We started with a baseline dyno run before getting to work on a custom remap designed to increase power, torque, and fuel economy.

Results speak for themselves:
๐Ÿ“‰ Before: 153hp / 402Nm
๐Ÿ“ˆ After: 205hp / 585Nm ๐Ÿš€

Our ECU/TCU package continues to be a favourite for D-MAX owners looking for stronger performance, improved drivability, and better fuel efficiency โ€” all in one package.

Thinking about upgrading your D-MAX? Get in touch to book your tune or send us a message to find out what we can do for your setup. ๐Ÿ‘Š
