Tuned Triton


In the past few months ecutek have worked on developing software, that gives Mitsubishi Triton owners unheard of tunability in Turbo Diesel's. With these developments, amazing gains and improvements have been made with increased peroformance, drivability, reliability and economy. Increses in torque have been around 30%, and gains of approximately 30kw throught out the rev range. Ecutek is not your run of the mill Diesel power chip. Ecutek software, makes the factory ecu a fully laptop programable Ecu, allowing the tuner greater control over all aspects of the ecu, another benefit is the fact that there is now chip fitted to the vehicle, it is all done via uploading the software into the factory ecu, making it not visible, and no risk of a chip being filled with water the first time you go off road.
So think Ecutek first when you consider improving your Triton.
Tuning for Mitsubishi Pajero also availiable. for more information or enquiries please contact the team at Ultimate Tunes.

Brutal Bugeye




Since Superlap earlier this year, the need for speed has increased rapidaly. One car that has progresively been developed is this 2001 bugeye, It went from a mild street car to Obsene race car in a short period of time, and since Superlap it has received some serious touches. Sitting in the engine compartment is a built 2.5L, with the right piston and rod combination, and billet crank the bottom end is strong, and with the case receiving the right treatment it will be happy to take the boost. The top end has also been improved with some BC 280 deg cams, and extensive porting, it was just built with one thing in mind. Power is not a problem, as this engine is been force fed by a Garret GT37/88 Early stages of tuning have since some great results, 387kw, at 21 psi, and still running on pump fuel. With a touch of ethanol to come, and some aggressive tuning, traction is appearing to be a problem. Keep an eye out as we will go into further detail later.

We only complete 3 sessions in the day as the tyres were now well and truely worn, Jason managed to take the flying GC8 to a 1:02.4805, that was over a second faster than last PB, and with only some minor changes. The goal has been set higher for next race, with the aim to sneak in the 1:01 barrier. Official times can be found at, www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?26/09/2010.WAKE
