One of our long time customers who is known for making interesting and unexpected 4WD vehicle modifications has taken another unusual step and converted a VY SS Ute into ‘DA HULK’.

The Engine is still VY with (mostly, I believe) Nissan Patrol underneath. With those monster tyres, a little more (read a lot more) torque was called for so Gary (the owner and creator of this mean machine) opted for a Harrop Supercharger kit for the most effective bolt-on improvement. Once Gary had the hardware in place, ChipTorque took over to unleash the full fury of 'DA HULK'. Not only were the supercharged GenIII’s fuel and timing requirements corrected, but we also had the challenge of keeping the PCM happy with strange gearbox and speed sensors. All that and getting the speedo to read correctly.


When Jack's car came in and was evaluated he was looking for lots of boost as he wanted his falcon to go as well as his STi.

At ChipTorque we estimated we could acheive a modest 80kw increase. With the addition of a Vortech 12lb Supercharger Kit with Water to Air Intercooler and custom program using ChipTorque's XFLASH we were able to give Jack a stunning 140kw gain at the wheels!

As a result of the custom programming the BOSS was making 382.8kw at the wheels - at which point the FPV rods and pistons have become the next question... and how long the 20 inch tyres will last.
