Overlanding performance upgrades from Viper Performance Exhausts and HM Auto. Hope you enjoyed this one. Would you get the same upgrades to your off road vehicle?

Cool video! Will be interesting to do something similar at a stage. Will help with towing and will be interesting to see how it improves the offroad capabilities. Did you have to upgrade components due to the higher power output you have?

Hey Henk, yes, it is definitely worth the costs, and a welcome improvement to the overall setup, without a doubt mate. I didn't have to do any further upgrades, but have been advised to upgrade the intercooler, and the air filter (K&N, or similar) to help with higher temperatures in the engine. However, as a stage 1 upgrade, this is a safe upgrade. Hope this helps mate 👍

@@4x4ventures_southafrica Thanks Ryan. Yes, my only question for my own vehicle will be the clutch. FYI - what happens with the remap is that you increase the Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT), so your engine runs hotter which you don't want, with the new exhaust you take away the hot gasses quicker. The way you have done it is the correct way, first the pipe and then the re-map. For the cooler and filter is that you can now feed more air into your engine. For this you need the improved air filter that allows more air in. Then all that air needs to be cooled (cooler air = more air "particles). Therefore the suggestion for a bigger intercooler.

Ed you better watch out, that ranger is coming in hot! Jokes aside. After my Fortuner was mapped by someone I wasnt happy with it. HM Auto (Marnus) did both my Hilux and Fortuner. As happy as can be with both off them. Viper is as good as it gets if not better. Enjoy the power and the sound. Makes you fall inlove all over with your car again.

hi Ryan ...great stuff man ...when is the next overlanding adventure with your mates, just cant wait to see nature with you guys.....😊

Great video. Now I need a viper exhaust. Haha. Interesting that they installed the 76mm pipe, on the Ford groups people say that you should only install the 63mm on the 2.2. What's your thoughts on that?

@4x4ventures_southafrica

2 жыл бұрын

🤣🤣🤣 job done then. No but serious, my thoughts are that the original pipe is 63mm, I thought a 73mm pipe was the very top of what the 2.2 could go. To be very honest, I haven't thought much about the 76mm size at all. It would make sense to get hotter particulates and gas out faster. I think the compressions come from the downpipes with faster expulsions from the larger diameter. But, by no means do I know. As I do, I take it under advisement from the people in the know, and if they say all good, then I hope its all good 🤣 if it goes boom, then I am in the dwang BIG time, and I have an episode. Fingers crossed mate. Now go get yourself a Viper Performance exhaust 🤙

Your truck looks great 👍 and the performance improvements are impressive. I must say however I’m not overly keen on remapping. Bigger intercooler and exhausts yes, but for me I wouldn’t remap the vehicle. let’s see how it performs over time.
