A dyno tune is the process of modifying the standard files and software within the vehicle’s engine computer (ECU) to enhance the output and performance of your engine. A dyno tune can provide more torque, more power, reduce turbo lag, improve driveability and increase fuel efficiency for the vehicle. We read the factory maps installed in your vehicle and modify them using highly specialised software. ​Your vehicle is driven onto the dyno via ramps and strapped down. Our dyno allows us to replicate real-life road driving conditions by putting the vehicle under load at different driving speeds through different RPM ranges. The dyno computer records information such as horsepower, torque, turbo boost pressure and air / fuel ratios as the vehicle is run on the dyno. ECU remapping can modify fuel pressure and injection timing and cycles, ignition timing, absolute boost and boost delivery, as well as throttle input maps and torque limiting maps. We make modifications to the maps based on your requirements and write them back to your ECU. The standard factory maps are saved, so you will be able to restore the original maps back into your vehicle. A variety of parameters can be changed and fine-tuned to achieve the result you want. Even the smallest of changes can result in significant gains in performance or fuel savings. ECU remapping can modify fuel pressure and injection timing and cycles, ignition timing, absolute boost and boost delivery as well as throttle input maps and torque limiting maps. We make modifications to the maps based on your requirements and write it back to your ECU.

Depending on the outcome you want, we can tune your vehicle for more power and torque, increased fuel economy, less turbo lag, better throttle response and overall improved driveability.

Custom Dyno Tuning is about finding the perfect balance of performance and engine longevity. We calculate safe tuning levels specifically for each individual car. We also health check every vehicle before a tune. If any issues are picked up they must be rectified before your car is tuned. ​ We aren't in the business of blowing up cars!

There are 3 levels of tunes you can choose from: 1. Stage 1 – 10-20% increase 2. Stage 2 – 20-30% increase 3. Stage 3 – 30% + The most common is a Stage 2.

When manufacturers complete the engine calibration they ensure that the vehiclecovers a variety of operating climates and emission standards governed by different countries around the world. Manufactuers often 'de-tune' base model vehicles which means that there is plenty of untapped performance, that can be accessed well within the engineering tolerances built into the powertrain. The de-rating of the power output also serves to assist in the longevity of that engine.

Generally it takes 4-5 hours from start to finish. Times may vary according to requirements and different vehicles.
