4x4 Modifications

We are 4×4 mod specialists. The mods we provide include but are not limited to:

ECU remapping being performed

ECU (engine control unit) remapping is a procedure that improves your vehicle’s performance. This is achieved by changing the manufacturer’s default settings. Sometimes, this is referred
to as chip tuning, or ECU tuning.

An ECU remap results in more engine power and increased torque, so you can get more out of your vehicle. Remapping usually takes less than two hours, and doesn’t involve replacing any parts.

Our ECU remapping services start at $900. Contact us today to learn more about whether this upgrade is right for you.

Diesel tuning in Perth being performed via a dyno tune

A dynometer measures how your vehicle performs under different driving conditions. That means that if we need to know how your car performs on a hill, or at a certain speed, we can.

By doing a dyno run, we can see the torque, RPMs, and power that your vehicle is currently producing. That helps us identify problem areas, and determine what improvements can be made.

By doing a dyno run before and after your upgrade, you’ll be able to see just how much power you’ve gained. It also gives us a chance to diagnose any other issues, before you get back on the road.

Our dyno runs start at $150.

Internal view of a 4x4 suspension system

Your suspension system is what keeps you on the road. It uses the friction between your tires and the road to steering and handling ability. A suspension upgrade can be a fix for a car with steering problems, or can improve a car that’s running normally.

Suspension upgrades are particularly useful with 4×4’s and other off-road vehicles. The enhanced steering capability gives you the control you need in extreme conditions.

We’re happy to help you determine what type of suspension upgrade is right for you. Contact us, or book an appointment today to learn more.

Our suspension upgrades start at $500.

Diesel fuel injector upgrades in Perth up close

The injector in your 4×4 sprays fuel into the intake manifold to create an air and fuel mixture. The speed at which this occurs is referred to as the flow rate. This results in the chemical combustion that starts and powers your engine.

A higher flow rate results in more engine power, which is a primary reason for the upgrade. You should also consider an upgrade if you have a NOS, supercharged, or turbocharged system. Otherwise, the stock injector may prevent your 4×4 from reaching its full potential.

If you have questions about the benefits of an upgrade, we’ll be happy to help. Injector upgrades start at $800.

300 series exhaust upgrades

Your car’s exhaust controls your 4×4 makes, and keeps dangerous fumes away from you. How well it does its job affects your engine performance and fuel consumption. A stock system doesn’t offer you the same power and efficiency as an aftermarket version.

An upgrade can improve gas mileage, increase horsepower, and raise the vehicle’s value. It’s a great move to make if you’re looking to increase the power of your 4×4, and it only takes a few hours to do.

Contact us to learn more about what an upgrade can do for you. Our exhaust system upgrades start at $700.

Catch can installation in Perth being performed by a 4WD mechanic in Perth

When oil gets into your intake manifold, it can block up the system. This leads to less horsepower and a decrease in gas mileage. An oil catch can prevents this by acting as a filter to prevent debris from getting into the manifold.

4×4’s that have direct inject engines are prone to oil build up, so a catch can is a great investment. The catch can usually plugs into the hose that runs from the crankcase to the manifold. Installation takes less than an hour, so book an appointment today.

Our oil catch can installations start at $300.

Mine spec vehicle hood up

Our fit-outs are tailored to your requirements and can include:

  • Suspension Upgrades: Enhanced suspension systems tailored to support varying tray loads, ensuring stability and safety.
  • GVM Upgrades: Increase your GVM by up to 600kg to meet heavy-duty requirements.
  • Bulbar and Accessory Fitments: Installation of robust bullbars and essential accessories for added protection and functionality.
  • Tray Modifications: Custom tray toolbox fitting and tray side modifications to suit operational needs.
  • Tyre and Wheel Upgrades: Heavy-duty tyre and wheel solutions to handle tough terrain and improve load capacity.
  • Safari Snorkel Fitment: High-performance snorkels to protect your engine and enhance airflow in off-road environments.
  • And more!

4x4 Servicing

Mechanic doing a 4x4 service for a logbook

Vehicle manufacturers create log books for the vehicles they make. A log book provides you a timeline of when maintenance needs to be performed on your vehicle. It’s a great tool to help you ensure your car’s servicing remains up to date. That’s important because a small problem can become a bigger, and more costly, problem.

Instead of waiting for a disaster, come on in and let us go over your log book. Our team of highly qualified experts can handle everything. Whether it’s changing the oil, or replacing the brake pads, we’ve got you covered.

Our log book servicing prices start at $300.

4x4 mechanic doing a mechanical inspection

Mechanical inspections are an important part of keeping your vehicle safe and drivable. During a mechanical inspection, the technician will check a variety of components including:

  • The engine
  • The transmission
  • The suspension
  • The steering
  • The brakes
  • The tires
  • The electrical components

You should have a mechanical inspection at least once a year. It’s also advisable to have one after a car accident, before buying a used car, or when you notice something unusual. Inspections are a great way to spot small fixes before they become big problems. A mechanical inspection takes less than two hours to complete, and starts at $120.

Carbon cleaning being performed in our Welshpool workshop, Perth

Carbon and other debris can build up in your engine, putting stress on the system. A carbon cleaning eliminates that problem by removing the debris from the system. To do this, a technician will inject a liquid or gas mixture into the fuel system.

Once the mixture is in place, it burns at a high temperature. This burns off the carbon that has built up, causing a sooty substance to emit from the exhaust.

In more extreme cases, a technician may take out parts to reach, and remove, tricky build ups. Our carbon cleaning services start at $800.

DPF filter replacement being performed in our Welshpool workshop, Perth

A diesel particulate filter catches soot and ash so it doesn’t exit your exhaust system. This makes diesel powered vehicles less harmful to the environment. Manufacturers have been installing them in compliance with EPA emission standards since 2007.

The lifespan of a DPF varies depending on many factors, including mileage and brand. When the DPF becomes blocked, a light should begin to flash on your dashboard. This indicates a need to have the filter replaced.

You can check with a technician to learn how often the filter on your particular vehicle should be replaced. Our DPF cleanings and replacements start at $500.

Toyotas lined up for fleet services in Perth

We offer professional fleet fit-outs and maintenance solutions designed to meet your operational demands. Our services include:

  • GVM Upgrades: Increase your fleet’s load-carrying capacity by up to 600kg to handle heavy-duty requirements.
  • Suspension Upgrades: Enhance stability and safety with customised suspension solutions tailored to your fleet’s load conditions.
  • Bull Bars, Rails & Steps: Add robust protection and accessibility with high-quality bull bars, side rails, and steps.

The team at Elite Tune delivered an outstanding service above and beyond my expectations. My Pajero Sport doesn't just look good with a new bull bar but has a lot more power after fitting a new exhaust, snorkle, an ECU remap and a dyno tune. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding.

If the tune and exhaust fitting was an A+ standard worth 5 star, the service was phenomenal. Highly recommend and would definitely use in the future. Our Ute tows the 21ft family caravan like a dream, even the wife is happy to take a turn.
