Australia Performance Vehicle Specific Diesel Tuning

What is tuning?

  • Power and Torque: Adjusting parameters like fuel delivery, turbo boost pressure,
    and ignition timing.
  • Fuel Efficiency: ECU tuning can optimize fuel delivery and combustion to
    improve fuel consumption
  • Throttle Response: Making the vehicle more responsive to driver input.
  • Driveability: Ensuring smoother and more predictable performance.
  • Specialized Performance: Tuning can be tailored to specific driving conditions or
    purposes, such as off-road driving, towing, or racing.

The primary goal of ECU tuning is to optimize the engine's performance in terms of
power, torque, fuel efficiency, and overall drivability.

What options do I have?

Stage 1

A basic increase in power and torque - resulting in a noticeable increase in power and improved fuel efficiency.

Expected results:
+/- 20%Hp, 20%Nm

Stage 2

A substantial increase in power and torque, incorporating additional hardware modifications for improved performance if required (downpipes, air intake, intercooler).

Expected results:
+/- 40%Hp, 40%Nm

Tow Tune

A basic increase in power and substantial increase in torque - resulting in a large increase in pulling capacity and improved fuel efficiency.

Expected results:
+/- 20%Hp, 40%Nm

Stage 3

An astronomical increase in power and torque, incorporating additional hardware modifications and fine-tuning of the ECU with careful consideration of supporting modifications to ensure optimal performance and reliability. Stage 3 requires non-standard turbos resulting in the maximum capacity of power within the safe parameters of the engine. (downpipes, air-intake, intercooler, fuel injection, oil cooler +)

Off-Road Only Modifications:

EGR Fix

EGR related check engine warning

Improved throttle response, increased power, and enhanced fuel efficiency. This modification prevents carbon build up in your intake system, resulting in improved longevity and avoiding further EGR related issues in your engine.

DPF Fix

DPF warning

Removing the DPF is a popular method of solving problems with DPFs and FAPs. A clogged DPF leads to the loss of power and constant car failures

AdBlue Fix

AdBlue DEF warning

AdBlue is used in a process called selective catalytic reduction (SCR), an advanced pollution control technology installed in the exhaust system. It can become a very costly exercise to maintain a high quality of AdBlue, by reprogramming the ECU we can reduce the consumption of AdBlue in your vehicle or even completely disable the function.

What our clients say:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cam & the team are professional & experienced when it comes to Diesel engine 4WD vehicles & resolved the Diesel Particulate Filter issues, that other places would charge you for a expensive replacement DPF.
They also found a split in a boost pressure hose & were able source parts that day to get my vehicle back on the road.
The technicians can perform a wide range of economy or 4WD. tunes.
This can give you that extra savings on fuel cost or that little bit of grunt that’s sometimes needed off-road.
Give them a call if your not happy with your factory tune or if you have EGR or DPF problems, clogging up your air inlet.

Aaron Mattner

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The tune is amazing. The car now accelerates with much less throttle with the torque increase allows much better acceleration. The fuel economy is already amazing, however the tune has made that even better. Although I'm still on the same tank, i can already see a huge increase in range. I do a lot of highway driving which nets around 1100km per tank. I am not reached half full yet, however I am already showing 550km travelled. So i can guestimate its on track to achieve over 1300k, this tank. An amazing increase while still achieving much better acceleration and torque. Additionally, I selected the EGR delete, so no more exhaust gases clogging the inlet system which reduces overall performance.
Overall a positive experience and I would recommend the team to anyone considering it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very happy with the service and the team. My car is my pride and joy and I was hesitant to have anyone other than Mercedes touch it. However, after meeting the team and asking tons of questions I was satisfied they were capable of doing what I wanted done and couldn’t be happier with the end result! I will be using them for future upgrades!!!
