For those who drive a 250 Series Land Cruiser Prado or a Land Cruiser 2.8 Auto Pickup (1GD diesel versions), performance is more than just a luxury—it’s a necessity. Whether navigating challenging terrains or cruising on open highways, the ability to tap into extra power, efficiency, and adaptability makes all the difference. Introducing Unichip kits for the new 250 Series Land Cruiser Prado and the 70 Series Land Cruiser 2.8 Auto Pickup. These kits promise to elevate your vehicle’s performance while maintaining the integrity and safety of your engine.
Optimised Performance for Local Conditions
The 250 Series Land Cruiser Prado is already a well-rounded performer. With its 1GD-2.8 engine, also found in the Hilux and Fortuner, the Prado feels agile and responsive, especially when paired with its 8-speed gearbox. Yet, Unichip saw an opportunity to push the boundaries of this engine further.
After meticulous testing at its headquarters, Unichip significantly improved its power. The standard Prado, which initially measured 157bhp on all four wheels, saw its power peak at an impressive 201bhp post-tuning. This enhancement is not just about raw power; it’s about intelligent power. The Unichip Uni-X computer seamlessly integrates with the Prado’s Eco, Custom, Sport, and Sport+ driving modes, offering up to five distinct maps. This ensures drivers can select the best mode for their driving style or environment, maximising performance and fuel efficiency.
A New Experience for the 70 Series Land Cruiser
Drivers and enthusiasts have long admired the 70 Series Land Cruiser, particularly the 2.8 Auto Pickup, for its ruggedness and durability. But the Unichip kit now offers a performance almost unrecognisable from its former self. Starting at 159bhp on the rear wheels, the vehicle’s power output can reach 225bhp with the advanced kit. The vehicle’s superior charge cooler enables this boost by maintaining lower air temperatures longer than the 250 Series’ standard intercooler.
For those looking for a balanced upgrade, Unichip also offers an entry-level package that raises power to 200bhp, giving owners a choice depending on their performance needs and budget. The transformation is noticeable in power output and how light and responsive the vehicle feels, especially compared to the older V8 D4-D models.
Advanced Vehicle Intelligence with Unichip Uni-X
Unichip’s technology is not just about adding more power—it’s about doing so intelligently and safely. The Unichip Uni-X computer optimises engine performance by carefully managing boost, fuel mixtures, and ignition timing based on real-time temperature data. For example, the system delivers extra power only when the coolant temperature is within a safe operating range. This prevents engine strain and ensures longevity. The same intelligent approach applies to the charge and intake air temperatures, making the Unichip kit an intelligent addition for anyone looking to get the most out of their Land Cruiser without compromising reliability.
Moreover, Unichip introduces a unique feature that provides a burst of power for a set time—a function similar to the “over-boost” feature seen in the VW Amarok, but available for Land Cruiser owners for the first time. This function can be especially useful in overtaking scenarios or tackling challenging off-road sections.
Versatility and Customisation
Another standout feature of the Unichip kit is its adaptability. It can be live-tuned on a dynamometer to accommodate your vehicle’s modifications, such as upgraded exhaust systems, hybrid turbos, or larger intercoolers. This means that Unichip tailors each installation to meet the unique needs of each driver and vehicle, ensuring no two installations are the same.
In addition to performance tuning, Unichip offers intelligent anti-theft solutions, adding another layer of security to your vehicle. This makes the Unichip kit a performance enhancer and a comprehensive upgrade addressing multiple vehicle ownership aspects.
