    Also had a Mitsubishi Triton in a few weeks back
    Randomly going into limp mode, i was his 5th stop to try and sort it out.
    We have learned a few neat tricks to test the usual suspects on these 3.2's
    And was able to quickly identify a fautly boost solenoid.
    Ordered a new part from Mitsubishi and really happy to get feedback today that after he's been testing it in all conditions it has not gone into limp since.

    Some really good feedback from our Strand customers.
    We have a few longterm projects in the works as well.
    LC V8 with some big mods!
    And maybe a GD6 conversion in an FJ....

    Hi there Benson

    The Renault Duster is a fairly popular car that's been around for a while... I presume you have figured them out? Diesel 4x4 about 2019 model. It's throwing "Check anti-pollution system" warning which I think means the DPF and/or cat is busy blocking up.

    Have you got round to decatting any of these already and is it successful?

    I didn't notice the wording of the reviews, I see it now when viewing on my phone!

    Thank you. I will pass on details to the person. Based in Tzaneen, and I see you have a branch there.

    Is this the 100kW 320nm 2.5 DTEQ? Manual or Auto?

    (I had a 2018 250 DTEQ pushed to 140kw 400nm, but had a really hard time with the std clutch not liking it...)

    Hi Benson, a friend of mines daughter had problems with her M Pajero. After them spending many mulos they considered getting rid of it. I said give Benson a try, based on the forum feedback. Sorted in a day for a fraction of the other quotes to attempt to fix it.
    So, Benson can also fix just normal cars, not just breath magic on upgrades. Support him.

    Thanx Mike. We really try our best to assess the problems correctly instead of just replacing parts until we strike it lucky.

    Was this Sam? With the Pajero sport?

    I was listening to everything the previous guys was replacing and looking at replacing. Made the hair on my back stand up.
    Super glad it's sorted. That turbo's vanes hasn't moved in many km's. First run after replacing the vacuum valve it blew out a cloud of black soot and felt like you took a ton of the weight..

    One of our old clients just bought a new LC 2.8
    Straight from the dealership stopped by for a slap on but!

    JBC exhaust fitted this turbo is free to spool up and keep going.

    Did a stage 1+ and ended up with a nice stage 2
    Touching 720Nm
    Will be doing a bigger charge cooler soon and some extra mods........ Click image for larger version.

    Good Morning Andre I assume these power figures are on the engine and not the wheels. I also assume that the dino does the conversion if the figures are for the engine.

    Which of your branches have dino's.
    Ramlan have done DPF and EGR removal and stage 1 in December. I will like also to have the dino figures.

    This Sedona is now a beast.

    Yes our figures are Flywheel power, and yes the dyno does all the neccesary adjustments and ambient correction etc. it's got a little weather station and all :-)

    Bennie does his Dyno runs at a guy in Vereeniging that measure wheel power.

    If you are only looking for a power run, chat to ramlan so he can make a booking for yoy at his guy.

    Isuzu 3.0 4jj3 stage 2 with - gearbox map
    This allows better TC lockup smoother gearing and much better fuel consumption.
    Pump to pump client got 7.8l/100

    With the gearbox lockup we can really lay down the power to the wheels.

    Super happy with these figures!
