What is ECU/diesel tuning and how does it work?

Answer:
ECU tuning (also known as chip tuning or remapping) involves reprogramming your vehicle’s Engine Control Unit to optimise fuel injection, turbo boost, ignition timing, and other parameters. This can increase power, torque, fuel efficiency, and throttle response by adjusting the manufacturer’s conservative default settings.

 

Is ECU tuning safe for my vehicle?

Answer:
Yes—when done correctly and with professional expertise, ECU tuning is safe and effective. We use reliable tuning tools and data to ensure your engine operates well within safe parameters, reducing unnecessary strain on your vehicle's components.

 

Will tuning void my vehicle’s manufacturer warranty?

Answer:
Potentially. It depends on the vehicle's brand and manufacturer policies. Some manufacturers may void parts of the warranty if ECU changes are detected. We recommend consulting your dealer or manufacturer if warranty retention is a concern.

 

Is diesel tuning legal in Australia?

Answer:
Yes, provided the tuning complies with emissions standards and roadworthiness regulations. However, emissions-related modifications (like DPF, EGR, or AdBlue deletes) are not legal for road use and may result in fines or loss of registration if discovered.

 

What kind of performance gains can I expect?

Answer:
Diesel remaps typically deliver 15%–30% increases in torque and horsepower, depending on your vehicle type. Benefits include stronger acceleration, smoother throttle responses, and improved overall driveability.

 

How long does a tuning session take?

Answer:
Most ECU remapping sessions take 1–2 hours. Some vehicles may require more time if special access is needed to the ECU, or if additional diagnostics are required before tuning.

 

Do I need a dyno tune?

Answer:
Not necessarily. ECU remapping is often a safer and more controlled alternative to dyno tuning, especially for road vehicles. We use factory-calibrated data and proven tuning files tailored to your vehicle’s exact model and engine specs. This approach ensures reliable performance improvements without the risks of overstressing components on a dyno.

 

What happens to emissions after tuning?

Answer:
Tuning can improve combustion efficiency, but depending on the modifications, emissions may change. If emissions systems are altered or deleted, your vehicle may no longer comply with road laws. These changes are intended for off-road use only and are not warrantied.

 

What is your 14-day money-back guarantee?

Answer:
We offer a 14-day guarantee on software tunes. If you're unsatisfied, you can return to us within 14 days so that we can remove the tune and provide your money back. Refunds are processed to your original payment method within 7 business days after tune removal and verification.

 

What services/products are not refundable?

Answer:
Non-refundable items include:

• DPF, EGR, or AdBlue delete services

• Parts and accessories (mechanical components)

• Labour and diagnostic services

• Services requested after the 14-day window

 

What kind of fault coverage do you offer?

Answer:
If a fault occurs as a direct result of our software tuning, we will reassess and correct the issue—either with a re-tune or a refund at our discretion. Faults unrelated to our services, such as mechanical failures or pre-existing issues, are not covered.

 

What types of vehicles do you tune?

Answer:
We tune all makes and models, from cars, utes, and 4WDs to trucks, agricultural equipment, and heavy machinery. Whether it's for better performance, improved fuel economy, or custom upgrades, we've got you covered.
