Every build backed by real dyno figures

This is our diesel build gallery: real customer utes and 4WDs that came in stock or tired and left with measurable gains. Anyone can claim "+30%" on a website. Here, each build shows the before and after on the dyno (peak kW and Nm), the supporting hardware that was fitted, and a word from the owner on how it drives now.

That is the proof a real workshop can show and a flat catalogue or a single endless scroll-page cannot. The gains are usable and safe, matched as a package and EGT-monitored, not just a headline number, so you get a vehicle that tows, tours and pulls the way you wanted. It is part of our diesel tuning work in Adelaide.

Want numbers like these on your 4WD? Tell us how you use it and we will map out the build.

Recent diesel builds

We are documenting our recent diesel performance builds as full case studies: the vehicle, the parts fitted, the kW and Nm measured on the dyno, and a word from the owner. Each one earns its own page so you can see exactly what a tune like yours achieved, rather than scrolling past it in a blur. The first case studies are being prepared now and added as each build comes back through the workshop.

Case studies coming soon. We would rather show you genuine builds with measured numbers than fill this page with stock photos and made-up figures. Real dyno results, real parts lists and real owner feedback are on the way.

In the meantime, the work behind every build is the same custom, dyno-verified diesel performance tuning we are known for across southern Adelaide. See the breadth of vehicles we build on our 4x4 diesel tuning page, or start your own below.

Makes we build and tune

From the Ford Ranger ECU remap and the Toyota Hilux ECU remap to the Isuzu D-Max, Mitsubishi Triton, Nissan Navara, Mazda BT-50 and 200-Series LandCruiser. Every make, every model, light 4WDs through to heavier rigs (ask us about your model).

How every build is tuned and verified

The numbers come from method, not marketing. Here is how a build is done, every time, with over 30 years of hands-on diesel and petrol experience behind it.

Assess how you use the vehicle

Towing, touring or daily, we work out what is worth doing before we touch the ECU.

Fit the supporting hardware

Intake, exhaust, EGT monitoring and transmission lock-up where it helps, matched as a package.

Write and load-test the tune

A custom ECU tune dialled in live on our in-house chassis dyno, measuring real airflow, fuelling and EGTs, not a generic remote file.

Verify, save the map and photograph it

We confirm the gains, save the reversible factory map, and send you the images of the work.

We are an RAA Approved Repairer and all work is fully guaranteed, with a 100% Result Guarantee and a 6-month or 10,000km service warranty on tunes. See how our dyno tuning works, or read our 302 Google reviews.

Start your own build

Tell us your vehicle and how you use it, and we will map out what is worth doing: the remap, the supporting mods, the lot, and quote it. Honest entry point: custom ECU remapping from $1,395, with the final figure depending on your vehicle and the supporting work. We quote your build rather than sell you a fixed menu.

Free loan cars mean a day off the 4WD is not a day off the road, and we photograph the work so you see exactly what was done. It is the same approach that has earned us 4.8 stars across 302 reviews.

Diesel build FAQs

Yes. Every figure we publish is measured on our in-house chassis dyno before and after, on the actual vehicle, not estimated from a brochure or a generic remote file. That measured proof is the whole point of this gallery.
