Why fine-tune your Land Cruiser 200?

Engineered to conquer tough trails with power that flows

The 1VD-FTV twin-turbo V8 is a beast… but from the factory, it’s working at half potential. A proper tune doesn’t just add torque. It refines how your 200 delivers it. That means you’ll instantly feel smoother acceleration, quicker downshifts and better control with weight on the back. No surging. No hesitation. Just confident, controlled performance no matter how full the tank or how long the road.

What Toyota Land Cruiser 200 tuning brings to your adventure

Stronger pulls, smoother power, and driveability that keeps up with your toughest plans

ECU tuning turns the 200 Series from polished to potent, transforming its V8 into a smooth, confident hauler with better economy and real power on tap. Here’s how:

Twin-turbo muscle, fully dialled in

We recalibrate the 1VD-FTV for real-world muscle. Torque that kicks in earlier, builds stronger, and holds longer through the midrange. Hills flatten, overtakes get snappier, and drivability goes next level.

Tow heavy, drive light

When you’re towing a boat, van or work trailer, the last thing you want is sluggish response or constant gear-hunting. A tune gives you stronger pull in the sweet spot, keeping shifts clean and controlled. No more working the gearbox to death.

Smoother drive, better economy

More efficient torque delivery means less throttle needed to keep pace. That translates to improved fuel efficiency, especially on long hauls or when hauling heavy. In short, less pedal, less stress, more range.

Get more out of your 200 Series tune

Own the rough roads and heavy hauls with total control

Every 200 Series owner uses their rig differently. Some haul boats. Some tour the country. Some just want a V8 that finally feels like one. We tailor your tune to match how you use it. And we’ve got plenty more to offer beyond just a power bump.

VDJ-specific upgrades that work

No matter if you’re driving an early 200 Series with the twin-turbo V8 (1VD-FTV) or a later model with stricter emissions gear, we apply upgrades that actually deliver. Improved airflow, for example, better cooling and driveline tweaks that make a serious difference when you’re towing or touring.

Built around your driving style

Daily driver with towing duties? Long-distance tourer? Or just someone who wants a sharper V8 without losing comfort? We take your needs into account and tune your 200 accordingly.

Compliance options

For off-road and recreational use, we offer DPF and EGR that minimise restriction and maximise reliability. These are incredibly beneficial for long-range setups.

Custom tunes built around your needs

We start by understanding what you want from your Land Cruiser, then fine-tune the ECU to match, be it hauling heavy loads, saving fuel, or just enjoying the drive.

Our process – Toyota Land Cruiser 200 tuning

1. Chat about how you use your 200

We start with a proper conversation. Do you tow a van? Drive long distances? Need more response around town? We get clear on how you use your 200 so we can tailor the tune to match.

2. Straight-up pricing for your build

Once we know your model and what you’re chasing, we’ll give you a straight, fixed quote. No pressure, no pushy upsells. Expect honest pricing for real results.

3. Pre-tune diagnostics

Before we touch the tune, we run a complete diagnostic and performance test. This gives us a baseline and picks up any issues that might impact results.

4. ECU tuned to suit your 200

Next, the tuning begins. We remap your engine’s computer to bring out stronger pull, faster response and a more refined drive that feels just right on- or off-road.

5. Final check, then it’s all yours

Once everything’s dialled in, we give it one last run to make sure it’s spot on. Then we hand back the keys and you’re good to go with a seriously improved setup.

Why trust Willy’s Workshop with your Cruiser?

A 200 Series is more than just a vehicle. It’s a tool for serious work and adventure. Getting the most from its V8 means more than just punching numbers on a dyno. We’ve spent years mastering these engines, tuning them to perform hard while protecting critical components like the transmission.

At Willy’s, we don’t rush. We assess your setup, tailor the tune to your driving style, and deliver a 200 Series that pulls stronger, shifts smoother, and handles every load with ease. Plus, you’re backed by a team who knows your vehicle down to the last detail—not just a one-off remote tune with no ongoing support.
