Safari ARMAX ECU SMPVDJ70M – Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series 1VD-FTV (2016–Current) Piezo Injectors

Description

Overview

The Safari ARMAX ECU SMPVDJ70M is a plug-and-play performance ECU engineered specifically for the Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series with the 1VD-FTV V8 diesel engine (2016 to current, including the 2024 facelift Euro 5 models with Piezo injectors). Designed to work alongside the factory ECU, it delivers stronger torque, faster throttle response and reduced turbo lag while retaining full engine protection strategies. With Safari’s exclusive DVVC (Direct Variable Vane Control) capability, the ARMAX ECU directly manages turbocharger vane position on supported vehicles to produce a flatter, more responsive torque curve—ideal for towing, touring, and heavy-duty use.

The SMPVDJ70M is fully compatible with both solenoid and Piezo-style injector systems found in the later Euro 5 LandCruisers. This ensures precise fuel delivery, cleaner combustion, smoother idle and quieter operation under load. The ECU’s advanced calibration seamlessly communicates with the Piezo injector control circuits for optimal reliability and refinement across all five selectable maps.

Because it’s vehicle-specific and supplied with model-matched bracketry, wiring and hardware, installation is neat and completely reversible. You also get an in-cabin 5-position map select switch for on-the-fly tuning control. For expert fitment and calibration support, Sunshine Coast Diesel Tuning can supply, install and validate your Safari ARMAX ECU setup.
