25.01.2022 A nice view of the compressor side of our latest r&d turbocharger option for the new 2.8 holden Colorado . This one copped a larger billet compressor wheel and a larger turbine wheel and is off to LG Automotive & DYNO Townsville & Cairns for their own collie, I can't wait to see the results!!

25.01.2022 this is a nice before and after shot of a ct26 1hd- t turbo we just completed , we take the time to make the remanufactured turbos look as they should.

25.01.2022 Do you want genuine Garrett quality and reliability but can't afford the pricey gtx range to suit your application? We can modify and design the Garrett ball bearing gt range to become an impressive and affordable option for your performance project with quality aftermarket billet compressor wheels available and some machining and knowledge anything is possible!!! Plenty of different options available for the Ford falcon BA BF FG barra series.

25.01.2022 I laughed way too hard at this, depending on your age group you may or may not get it, if you don't, YouTube search "cornholio" Edit- https://youtu.be/LHv2dIM3t9I

24.01.2022 Some of the different jobs we completed this week, bmw, Mercedes, Nissan, holden, mazda and Ford units getting some love this time.

24.01.2022 When you upgrade to a better turbo why not spread the love to a mate

23.01.2022 This sweet pair of VDJ7X brand new genuine garrett billet Hi flow turbos are out the door today on their way up north to LG Automotive & DYNO Townsville & Cairns for a couple of customers who want some extra power and torque from their cruisers.

20.01.2022 It only occurred to me as I was closing up this evening that we had a VW sorta day today.

Keep Your eyes peeled on our page over the coming days for pics of our new larger premises!!! We officially re open this coming Wednesday the 1/7/20 but if you need assistance in the meantime give us a yell!!

18.01.2022 Today we did a couple of rg colorado remaps with the dpf and standard exhausts still in play. both customers were just after a bit more all round power to improve driveability and towing power. Great results all round in power and torque increases on both vehicles were achieved!

18.01.2022 A couple of the turbos out the door this week!

18.01.2022 Get an electric car they're great , low emissions, until they melt.

18.01.2022 With tomorrow marking the start of the last 3 working weeks off the year for us at Motovated, be sure to book on your pre holiday travel service and check over before time runs out. Currently we still have a few spots available in our last week of the 14th to the 18th of December so get in quick or risk missing out!!!

17.01.2022 what does it take to build the s400sx turbocharger that powers the GSL Fab Pty Ltd FRANKENMULE? check out these pics of the components laid our ready for assembly and also a size comparison between the rotating assembly from a normal hi flow VDJ7X vs the FRANKENMULE components.

16.01.2022 Exactly that's it!

16.01.2022 This week we had this cool little bt50 in for a Hi flow turbo, chip, exhaust and dyno setup and tune. Whether you like the style it has been done in or not man there's a lot of work in this vehicle. It grew on me the more looked at it while it was in the shop, we rekon it's pretty cool, and thanks to the modifications it goes really nicely now!!!

16.01.2022 Essential workers deserve an essential lunch!!! Mmmmm

16.01.2022 We are currently looking for a full time trade qualified mechanical technician (minimum cert 3) to join our team at Motovated Turbo and Mechanical. Duties such ...as logbook servicing , general vehicle maintenance and repairs, removal and installation of turbocharger kits, removal and installation of transmissions and engines , vehicle modifications and some light fabrication will be involved in the position. Above award wages can be negotiated for tradespersons with the correct skillset someone who will fit in with our team well. All inquiries can be kept fully confidential if you wish. This position is open to Australian residents only.

15.01.2022 Things have been a bit busy at the new shop since opening but we are starting to work through the backlog! A nice stage 2 billet td42 ht18 turbo out the door today and 3 more VDJ7X billet hiflows too!!!

14.01.2022 Th is took quite a while to dial in but it's ready to rock and roll for a Monday morning!!

14.01.2022 How's this for effectively what is a before and after of a nice little Toyota 1VD VDJ7X billet remanufactured high flow turbo that we completed this week for the guys down at GSL Fab Pty Ltd. We take great pride in our turbo overhaul processes whether it be standard replacement or a billet Hi flow version, remanufactured doesn't mean second best !!! Our remanufactured exchange units carry identically the same warranty as the brand new units we sell which is the standard automotive warranty of 12 months or 20000kms.

14.01.2022 A true bad day for anyone!!!!

14.01.2022 Another precision chra repaired for a customer in Western Australia.

14.01.2022 Really tidy 3.2 bt50 we supplied a catch can, fuel filter, turbo back exhaust, engine guard, replacement egr cooler and we did an in house remap to give it a little more poke while towing the van, You can see the red line is factory power with no remap, on the last 2 power and torque graphs with the lines close together this is with the customers original no name brand chip fitted, the first 2 graphs are standard in red and our motovated remap in blue, no point shooting for the stars and sacrificing long term reliability. i think that'll do nicely!!

14.01.2022 This has got to be the wildest diesel drag vehicle I've seen, and it actually runs a number!!

14.01.2022 The story daily at the shop!

14.01.2022 We have these in stock right now for over the counter sales to install yourself or we can supply and install and configure for you also if you like. Starting from $250 supplied , installed and configured. Why wait until it's too late and have thousands of dollars in repair bills and down time , get in before the damage is done this summer!!!!

13.01.2022 A few of these get really exciting!!!

13.01.2022 If you have a Toyota 1KD powered Hilux, Prado or Hiace and the sound of the turbo has changed to a siren type howl, whistle or screech chances are you have lost a blade off your turbine wheel causing damage to the turbine wheel and vnt nozzle ring this is a very common issue and most times the vehicle will still drive ok but is on a path to destruction , Having turbocharger stepper motor faults is also an indication that the nozzle ring is damaged and sticking intermittently because of the damage this causes. It's best to catch it before it goes really bad possibly costing you an engine or more.

12.01.2022 I want this !!!

11.01.2022 Stolen from Bury My Diesel Experts

11.01.2022 Something spinny from today's jobs I thought some of you may find interesting.

11.01.2022 Check out the gains we achieved on this customers td42ti gu patrol we had in a little while ago, we added a Diesel Central 12mm injection pump , new standard injectors and one of our own spec Garrett ball bearing gtx turbos and installed the supplied Fatz Fabrication airbox to the existing Cross Country 4x4 Intercoolers cooler and all tuned up by the gun td tuner Tony, the end result was a weapon!!!! and at a relatively clean afr, there's evem more power to be had here but reliability is a must!!!

10.01.2022 And these are the first two customer cars at the shop, I hope it's not a bad omen, a d40 and a dodge,

10.01.2022 Here are a few of our latest Hi flow upgrade direct bolt on turbos!!

08.01.2022 Come to the drags, its fun!!!

08.01.2022 I'm not sure if I'm shocked or impressed by this persons ideas.

07.01.2022 Today we had the job of doing a turbo swap on this td42 patrol work horse. We removed the lazy gt3071r in order to fit a Garrett gtx2860 gen 2 with direct bolt on td42 turbine housing. We did a dyno run exactly as the vehicle was dropped off (the red graph) and did a after run once it the pump was re timed and adjusted to suit the new SMALLER turbo (the blue graph) and the results were insane.... At the "peaks" this netted a gain in power of over 30 percent and a gain in torque of 50 percent on just a little more boost pressure as the original turbo and on quite a safe fuelling tune up also to aid in reliability being a working vehicle. All from a SMALLER turbo, which proves bigger is not always better. The owner put it straight back to work today pulling a decent load and reports back that it pulls really nicely compared to before he dropped it off.

07.01.2022 A sweet pair of brand new hi flow 200 series landcruiser turbos we did this week.

07.01.2022 I laughed way too hard at this one.

07.01.2022 You heard the mechanic, we gotta do as he said mum!!!

06.01.2022 I know which category I fall into, how about yourselves?

06.01.2022 When you get bogged you just need some more horsepower to get un stuck!!!

06.01.2022 If you have a few minutes watch this video from High Performance Academy to gain a little insight into the complexity of tuning a high powered common rail diesel engine for different applications, some really cool stuff!!

06.01.2022 A few of the hi flow turbos we have done this year, Ford mazda Nissan Toyota Mitsubishi holden Isuzu Hyundai we can modify them all!!!!

06.01.2022 What a Friday ,old school mechanical tune with some very nice gains. Then a custom remap on a Colorado then a rapid installation and tune on a patrol. All done in house at Motovated Turbo and Mechanical was a busy day on the dyno. Dimsport

05.01.2022 A borg warner efr7163 we had in this week to repair after being massively dusted wearing down the compressor wheel hugely. You can see the sharp edges of the inducer on the leading major blades is rounded off severely. We did a replacement upgraded compressor wheel , turbo smart bov delete and upgraded actuator, sweet little turbo in the end!!

04.01.2022 Remember we are classed as an essential service because everyone still needs safe reliable transport so travelling to to and from us to get work done is still allowed and legal!!!. We are here to help you through these tough times and we are still open from 8 to 5 weekdays. We have afterpay and zip pay in store with no minimum spend and available on all products whether is be a basic service, brakes, tyres, or performance enhancements.

03.01.2022 No press, no worries!

01.01.2022 Who likes jelly???

01.01.2022 This week we completed our first GR supra billet Hi flow turbo for the Goleby's Parts development car and I reckon it came up a treat, i cant wait to see the comparison between standard and this one, then we can get onto the bigger version once we have some data!!!

01.01.2022 These pics show the diversity of the turbos we play with, bikes, cars, 4wds, light and heavy trucks and industrial machinery, we do them all. Here we have a td025 Mitsubishi and a t18a Garrett (the big one) Whilst the td025 is pretty well the smallest unit we see, the t18a is Definetly not the largest we do in house.

01.01.2022 Yep, that's Definetly what I'd call catastrophic engine failure
