We have just recently tuned Marti's Porsche Cayenne S with awesome results, we were able to add 20HP and 35Nm of torque. Marti instantly recognised the other changes to the vehicles performance noting amounst other things "It's made it much smoother in the torque curve. It has also made it way more responsive and even better it’s not using as much fuel." Continue reading →

Aaron brought us his 2015 Ford Ranger 3.2L, a vehicle well known for its strength and versatility but often criticised for feeling a little underwhelming in stock form. Despite its size and reputation, Aaron felt that his Ranger didn’t quite deliver the level of power and responsiveness he was expecting. It was capable, yes, but when towing, overtaking, or even...

This is Mohammed's PX1 Ranger, which came to us after we had already tuned his PX2. Having experienced the gains on his newer model, Mohammed wanted to see what we could do for his earlier PX1—and the results did not disappoint. The PX1 Rangers are tough, reliable trucks, but like many factory calibrations, they leave performance on the table. Straight...

We’ve tuned quite a few Rangers lately, and every time it reminds us just how much performance is hidden in these trucks from the factory. A proper calibration really unleashes the PX-series Rangers, transforming them from good to genuinely impressive. Mohammed first came to us with his PX2 Ranger, which delivered excellent results after tuning—stronger torque, smoother power delivery, and...

Who doesn’t like more power delivered with a good dose of refinement… We can even achieve that with older vehicles… such as this MK4 Golf GTI… Our customer said “Lars made me an amazing tune which I am extremely happy about” Continue reading →

Another car that I enjoyed tuning this week was a Lexus IS350, which was noticeably faster, smoother and immediately responsive to throttle input where it wasn't before the tune. Continue reading →

Tuning this 911 Carrera 4 was one of the highlights of the week, the customer felt that the car drove "better for sure" and was much smoother and the tune was defiantly "worth the money" and was very happy with it. Continue reading →

It was awesome to meet everyone at the BMW Car Club (NZ) Cafe run / BMW Race Series Meeting at Hampton downs. Thanks for making me feel so welcome! I talked to a lot of club members about tunes and gains on particular models... you can find dyno charts (i.e. power/torque curves) for stock BMWs here! Continue reading →

The factory tuning on this vehicle is quite aggressive in terms of peak power output from the M97 engine, on paper it would seem that there is little to be gained from tuning the 997 Carrera S. Continue reading →
