Description

Overview

The Safari ARMAX ECU is a premium performance upgrade for the Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series 1VD-FTV (2016–Current, including the 2024 facelift). Designed and manufactured by Safari 4×4 Engineering, this plug-and-play engine control unit optimises power, torque, and throttle response through advanced tuning maps and intelligent engine management. With a rugged design to withstand harsh off-road conditions, it integrates seamlessly with your factory systems while remaining fully reversible.

Piezo Injector Compatibility

The latest Safari ARMAX ECU is fully compatible with Toyota’s Piezo-style common-rail injectors used in the Euro 5 and 2024 facelift LandCruiser 70 Series models. These precision injectors deliver faster response times, higher fuel atomisation, and improved combustion efficiency compared to conventional solenoid types. The ARMAX ECU provides optimal control over injector timing and duration, ensuring smoother throttle transitions, enhanced low-end torque, and reduced fuel consumption.

• Specifically tuned for Piezo injector operation
• Improved cold-start performance and idle stability
• Enhanced throttle precision under load and towing conditions
• Compatible with OEM and upgraded injector configurations

By managing Piezo injectors with high-speed processing, the Safari ARMAX ECU ensures consistent fuel delivery and reliable power output across all driving conditions.
