GSL/Intense Stage 3 Gated Turbo – LandCruiser VDJ76/78/79 1VD-FTV

The GSL/Intense Stage 3 Gated Turbo is designed for maximum airflow, sustained boost and strong top-end performance from the Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series 4.5L 1VD-FTV.

Developed for higher-output performance builds, the Stage 3 features upgraded internal components with increased compressor and turbine efficiency. This allows the turbocharger to continue pulling through the upper rev range where smaller or response-focused turbochargers begin to run out of airflow.

The Stage 3 is suited to customers chasing maximum power from a factory-location gated-turbo system, particularly when combined with upgraded injectors, a high-flow intake system, front-mount intercooler and custom dyno tuning.

Vehicle Fitment

• Toyota LandCruiser VDJ76 4.5L 1VD-FTV

• Toyota LandCruiser VDJ78 4.5L 1VD-FTV

• Toyota LandCruiser VDJ79 4.5L 1VD-FTV

Performance Potential

When combined with upgraded injector nozzles, the required supporting modifications and custom dyno tuning, GSL publishes typical results of:

• 255–275 rwkW

• Approximately 342–369 rwhp

• 950–1,100 Nm of torque

These figures are supplied as a guide and are not guaranteed. Final results will depend on engine condition, injector specification, supporting modifications, tyre size, drivetrain configuration and calibration.

Included

• GSL/Intense Stage 3 gated turbocharger

• Gated-turbo fitment kit

Not Included

• Stage 2 and Stage 3 gated-turbo gasket kit

• GSL gated-turbo dump pipe

• Injector upgrades

• Front-mount intercooler

• Intake pipe or airbox upgrades

• Installation or dyno tuning

Required Supporting Components

GSL specifies supporting modifications to achieve the intended performance, including:

• Upgraded injector nozzles

• Front-mount intercooler

• Upgraded intake pipe

• High-flow pod or panel-style airbox

• GSL gated-turbo dump pipe

• Stage 2 and Stage 3 gated-turbo gasket kit

• Custom ECU calibration

Installation and Tuning

Professional installation and custom dyno tuning are required. The factory VNT control strategy, boost control, fuelling, airflow calibration and engine-protection settings must be configured for the gated-turbo conversion.

At the published torque potential, the clutch, gearbox and complete driveline must be inspected and matched to the intended output. Supporting modifications may include a heavy-duty clutch, upgraded gearbox components and driveline reinforcement.

The engine oil and filter must be replaced during installation. The turbocharger oil supply and drain, intake system, intercooler, exhaust system and crankcase ventilation system must also be inspected for contamination, restrictions or leaks.

Fullsoot 4x4 will establish the final boost, fuelling and torque levels based on the engine condition, vehicle use and installed supporting components.
