4x4 Modifications

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

Alex performing an ECU remapping

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.

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.

I recently had my BT-50 fully modified through EliteTune and couldn’t be happier with the result. During my visit, they handled everything — exhaust, tune, lift kit, plus a full tyre and rim package — all in one go, which made the whole process super convenient.The quality of the work is excellent, and the difference in performance and overall look of the vehicle is unreal. You can tell they take pride in what they do and pay attention to the details.The crew are also very good — easy to deal with, knowledgeable, and happy to answer any questions along the way. They made the whole experience smooth from start to finish.Highly recommend EliteTune to anyone looking to upgrade their vehicle. I’ll definitely be sending people their way.

Got my 80 Series tuned and serviced by Elite Tune and honestly couldn’t be happier. The difference is night and day. throttle response is way sharper, pulls harder through the rev range, and just feels way more alive to drive. It used to feel a bit sluggish, especially towing or going up hills, but now it handles it effortlessly.They really know their stuff too. Rickey was so polite and was to understand as he took the time to explain everything properly and made sure the tune suited how I actually use the car not just some generic setup which other shops do. You can tell they care about doing it right, not just rushing jobs through.Surprisingly it came with a bonus too as my fuel economy even improved a bit and the motor just runs smoother overall. Easily one of the best mods I’ve done to the 80.If you’re thinking about getting a tune, don’t even hesitate. Elite Tune absolutely delivered if i could give other 5 stars i would!
