05 Prado 1kz Q's

Post by Lux_89 »

Hey guys, correct if wrong, but my old mans got a 05 Prado that has just ran out of warranty, so he can start playing now. Its got the pre d4d, 1kz-te im lead to believe.. He want to start by changing the xhaust for towing the caravan...

Now i seem to think the zorst is about 2.5'' n the dump is about the same... Fair few mufflers in there too... Would a 3inch dump n exhaust with minimal mufflers be a good road to take? Im not too sure with these newer engines, bit different to the ol 2.8T in the lux :D

Thanks in advance guys,

Cheers, chris

apparently 3" mandrel dump and exhaust makes a HUGE difference on these engines.

3" Exhaust made a BIG difference to my 1kz in the lux- i dont have the intercooler that dads 95 series prado TD does, but mine definately goes harder, pulls better, and comes on song a LOT sooner!

WTF? Since when was a D4D engine a 1kz. D4D refers to 1kd, 3.0L or 2kd 2.5L Commonrail Engines. 1kz is not common rail.
