At Hudson Auto, we pride ourselves on offering premium vehicle diagnostics and performance tuning, and today we have an exciting project in the shop—a trusty Isuzu KB 250 on our very own in-house 4-wheel drive dynamometer. Let’s break down how this works and why it’s a game-changer for your vehicle.
What is a 4-wheel drive dynamometer?
Our 4-wheel drive dynamometer allows us to test, tune, and improve vehicle performance with precision. It’s more than just adding a software upgrade or mapping adjustments—it’s a tried-and-tested approach that ensures the changes we make are real and measurable. We don’t just install upgrades; we thoroughly test them too.
Testing the Isuzu KB 250
The Isuzu KB 250, being a 2-wheel drive vehicle, sits on the rear rollers of our dynamometer. For 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicles, such as those with 4Motion (Volkswagen) or 4Matic (Mercedes), our fully removable front section adjusts to the specific wheelbase, allowing us to test any drivetrain configuration. In short, whether it’s a rear-wheel, front-wheel, or all-wheel drive, we can run it on our dyno.
Seamless Dastek Plug-and-Play performance upgrade
For the KB range, we offer a seamless plug-and-play tuning solution from Dastek, based in Pretoria. The process is straightforward: we remove the glove box, plug the module into the vehicle’s harness, and the upgrade is complete. The best part? It’s designed to be undetectable by dealership service departments, meaning it won’t affect your vehicle’s warranty. You’ll enjoy enhanced performance while keeping your full-service history intact.
Why Choose Hudson Auto?
When you bring your Isuzu KB 250 (or any vehicle) to Hudson Auto, you’re not just getting a quick software upgrade—you’re receiving a performance solution that’s been carefully tested. Our 4-wheel drive dynamometer ensures every modification we make is accurate and tailored to your vehicle, maximising its power and efficiency.
