Isuzu Dmax 3.0 Auto

The 4JJ1 platform remains one of the most reliable and responsive diesel engines to modify — and this setup proves exactly why 🔥

A basic upgrade package designed for strong, usable power with more than average Stage 2 gains while still maintaining excellent drivability and reliability 👌

✅ 30% Injector Upgrade
✅ Hybrid Turbo
✅ Upgraded Intercooler
✅ Full Exhaust System
✅ MDT Stage 2++ Software

Results: 4th Gear
⚡ 219KW
⚡ 686NM

With almost little to no smoke and the setup dialed in at only 1.5 Bar peak boost pressure, this combination delivers impressive performance without pushing the setup to its limits.

Some will say it’s too much… but the 4JJ1 platform is comfortably capable of 400HP+ on standard internals when tuned correctly. So in reality — we’ve basically just tickled it 😎

This setup works exceptionally well for the average guy towing heavy loads daily, while still delivering enough punch for the hard driver or the occasional robot-to-robot racer 😏💨

The proven recipe that works for the 4JJ1 platform 💪

FORD RANGER 2.0 SiT – MDT STAGE 2

This Ranger came into MDT with over 250 000km on the clock, so the goal was not to chase unrealistic dyno numbers — but rather to build a reliable, responsive and efficient Stage 2 package suited for everyday use and towing performance.

Sometimes less is more. 👌

Upgrades Performed:
✔️ Upgraded Intercooler
✔️ 63MM Stainless Steel Exhaust System
✔️ MDT Stage 2 Custom Calibration
✔️ Dyno Tested & Verified In-House

Dyno Results:

BEFORE
123kW | 417Nm

AFTER
159kW | 480Nm

GAINS
+36kW
+63Nm

The final calibration was intentionally kept conservative to maintain reliability on a higher mileage platform while still delivering a noticeable improvement in:
• Turbo response
• Mid-range torque
• Towing performance
• Intake temperature control
• Overall drivability

At MDT we focus on safe, data-driven tuning with controlled EGTs, proper AFR management and consistent power delivery — because reliability always comes first.
