Hilux 1KD Garrett PowerMax Turbo
GTB2256VZK β’ Toyota Hilux KUN16R / KUN26R β’ 1KD-FTV 3.0L β’ 2005β2015 β’ G953907-5001S
π₯ Up to 265BHP / 198kW β dyno-proven on the 1KD-FTV platform π₯
The GCG Garrett PowerMax GTB2256VZK is not a standard replacement β it's a purpose-built performance upgrade, dyno-tested to deliver 38% more power and 70% more torque than the OEM turbo. Plug straight into your Hilux KUN26 and go.
Dyno-Tested Performance Claims
These figures come from GCG's own on-dyno testing against the OEM turbocharger β not manufacturer estimates:
- Up to 265BHP / 198kW β +38% power increase vs OEM turbo
- Up to 550Nm β +70% torque increase from 320Nm (OEM) to 550Nm, tested on-dyno
β οΈ Important: To get the most out of your PowerMax, GCG recommends re-tuning your vehicle. Without tuning, overall torque and power results may vary. Maximum turbocharger shaft speed is 171,600 RPM β operation above this is at the owner's risk.
Vehicle Fitment
G953907-5001S suits:
- Toyota Hilux KUN16R 1KD-FTV D-4D 3.0L β 03/2005 to 09/2015
- Toyota Hilux KUN26R 1KD-FTV D-4D 3.0L β 03/2005 to 09/2015
β Hilux KUN26 is direct plug-and-play β no wiring harness required. The PowerMax uses a calibrated electronic actuator that matches the factory connector on the KUN16R/KUN26R straight out of the box.
β This is the Hilux-specific unit. For Prado KDJ120, see our separate Prado 1KD Garrett PowerMax listing β different part number, different RRP.

What Makes the PowerMax Different?
The GCG Garrett PowerMax is not simply a rebranded standard turbo. It's a purpose-built performance upgrade with specific improvements over both the OEM IHI unit and the base Garrett replacement:
- Improved electric actuator assembly β redesigned for increased durability. The factory IHI actuator is a known failure point on high-mileage 1KD-FTV engines
- Calibrated actuator β factory-set to ensure accurate vane positioning from day one
- Fully machined speed sensor port β allows turbo shaft speed monitoring via G-Smart Bluetooth Module (G923586-0002) or Speed Sensor Kit (G781328-0001/0002), sold separately
- Dyno-tested performance β GCG's own testing confirms 38% power increase and 70% torque increase vs OEM
π‘ The OEM IHI CT16V electric actuator is a well-documented weak point β they fail, they drift out of calibration, and replacements cost hundreds. The PowerMax comes with Garrett's redesigned, improved actuator built to outlast the original.
Tuning Notes
- Re-tuning is strongly recommended to unlock the full performance potential of the PowerMax
- Without tuning, results will vary and the dyno-tested power figures may not be achieved
- Running a 3-inch exhaust without a tune can trigger a P1251 overboost fault on the factory ECU
- Turbo shaft speed monitoring recommended β G-Smart Module (G923586-0002) or Speed Sensor Kit (G781328-0001 / G781328-0002), sold separately
Installation Notes
- Direct plug-and-play for Hilux KUN16R/KUN26R β no harness modifications required
- Always flush the oil feed line before fitting
- Prime with clean oil before first startup
- Idle for 2β3 minutes before driving to allow oil pressure to build through the new bearing
- Gaskets and oil/coolant lines are not included
- Professional installation recommended
β οΈ Always identify the root cause of your original turbo failure before fitting. Oil contamination and starvation are the leading killers of new turbochargers.
