Hilux 1KD Garrett PowerMax Turbo | GTB2256VZK | 1KD-FTV 3.0L 2006-On | 17201-0L042

Figures below come from GCG's own on-dyno testing against the OEM turbocharger on the 1KD-FTV platform:

• Up to 265BHP / 198kW: a 38% power increase over the OEM turbo
• Up to 550Nm: a 70% torque increase, from 320Nm (OEM) to 550Nm

Important: GCG recommends re-tuning the vehicle to get the most out of the PowerMax. Without tuning, power and torque results may vary. Maximum turbocharger shaft speed is 171,600 RPM. Operation above this is at the owner's risk.

G953907-5001S suits:

• Toyota Hilux KUN16R 1KD-FTV D-4D 3.0L, 03/2005 to 09/2015
• Toyota Hilux KUN26R 1KD-FTV D-4D 3.0L, 03/2005 to 09/2015

Direct plug and play on the Hilux. The PowerMax uses a calibrated electronic actuator that matches the factory connector on the KUN16R / KUN26R straight out of the box. No wiring harness required.

This is the Hilux-specific unit. For the Prado KDJ120, see our separate Prado 1KD Garrett PowerMax listing. Different part number, different price.

Your existing OEM turbo part number is stamped on the CHRA. If it matches any number above, this is your replacement.

• Engine: Toyota 1KD-FTV D-4D 3.0L common rail diesel
• Turbo Type: VNT (Variable Nozzle Turbine)
• Actuation: Calibrated electric actuator assembly, redesigned for improved durability over OEM
• Compressor Inducer / Exducer: 42.4mm / 61mm
• Turbine Inducer / Exducer: 61mm / 61mm
• Speed Sensor Port: Fully machined. Suits G-Smart Bluetooth Module (G923586-0002) or Speed Sensor Kit (G781328-0001 / G781328-0002), sold separately
• Max Shaft Speed: 171,600 RPM
• Condition: Brand new GCG Garrett PowerMax

The OEM IHI CT16V electric actuator is a well-documented weak point on high-mileage 1KD-FTV engines. They fail, they drift out of calibration, and replacements cost hundreds. The PowerMax comes with Garrett's redesigned actuator, factory set for accurate vane positioning from day one.

Not included: gaskets and oil or coolant lines. Source these separately.

• Direct plug and play for Hilux KUN16R / KUN26R. No harness modifications required
• Always flush the oil feed line before fitting
• Prime with clean oil before first start-up
• Idle for 2 to 3 minutes before driving to let oil pressure build through the new bearing
• Re-tuning is strongly recommended to unlock the full potential of the PowerMax
• Running a 3-inch exhaust without a tune can trigger a P1251 overboost fault on the factory ECU
• Turbo shaft speed monitoring recommended (G-Smart Module or Speed Sensor Kit, sold separately)
• Professional installation recommended

Always identify the root cause of the original turbo failure before fitting. Oil contamination and starvation are the leading killers of new turbochargers.

• Free express shipping Australia-wide, tracking included
• Afterpay, Humm, Klarna and Zip available at checkout
• All major cards accepted
• Warranty and returns terms are on our refund policy page

Is this plug and play on a Hilux?
Yes. The calibrated electronic actuator matches the factory connector on the KUN16R / KUN26R. No wiring harness required.

Do I need a tune?
GCG recommends re-tuning to get the most out of the PowerMax. It will run without one, but the dyno-tested figures may not be achieved and results will vary.

Will it fit my Prado?
No. This is the Hilux-specific unit (G953907-5001S). The Prado KDJ120 uses a different part number. See our separate Prado listing.

Are gaskets and oil lines included?
No. Gaskets and oil or coolant lines are not included and need to be sourced separately.
