We provide specialist 70 Series tuning in Perth, custom-calibrated for stronger torque, smoother power, and better real-world drivability.
Our 70 Series tunes start from $1,600 and can deliver up to 40% more torque and around 25% more power, depending on the vehicle and setup.
Every tune is tailored to your model, tyres, accessories, weight, and driving style, then verified on our Mainline AWD dyno.
We focus purely on 4WDs, built for real-world performance.
Dyno, diagnostics, servicing, and upgrades all under one roof.
Advanced dyno and diagnostic tools deliver precise tuning results.
We use proven components built for performance and reliability.
At Elite Tune, we specialise in 70 Series tune Perth services for VDJ and GDJ LandCruisers.
We tune 79 Series utes, 78 Series Troopys, and 76 Series wagons for towing, touring, work, and off-road use.
Every calibration is developed in-house on our Mainline AWD dyno using live load testing.
We correct factory mapping, refine boost control, improve throttle response, and optimise fuel delivery.
With Alex Coughlan’s two decades of 4WD modification and servicing experience behind the workshop, we know what holds up in WA conditions.
No generic flash files. No guesswork. Just precision-tailored 70 Series tuning built around your setup.
Dyno tuning is the most accurate way to tune a 70 Series LandCruiser properly.
We use our in-house Mainline AWD dyno to measure real power, torque, boost pressure, air-fuel ratios and engine behaviour under load.
This lets us tune VDJ76, VDJ78, VDJ79, GDJ76, GDJ78 and GDJ79 models with precision, not guesswork.
By tuning your 70 Series on our dyno, we can:
Every 70 Series tune is vehicle-specific and load-tested for how you drive, tow, tour or work.
ECU remapping adjusts the factory engine control software to unlock safe, usable 70 Series performance.
We correct conservative factory mapping and refine torque delivery, boost control and throttle response for real-world driving.
A professional 70 Series ECU remap can:
Our ECU remaps are written for your specific 70 Series model, engine, weight, tyres and supporting upgrades.
Nothing is off-the-shelf. Reliability, EGT control and driveline safety are always part of the calibration.
A factory 70 Series exhaust system can restrict airflow, especially once the vehicle is tuned or used for towing.
Upgrading the exhaust helps the engine breathe more freely, supports stronger torque delivery and can help manage exhaust gas temperatures under load.
Benefits of a 70 Series exhaust upgrade include:
We supply and fit exhaust systems matched to your LandCruiser, tune, engine type and usage.
Injector upgrades are not needed for every 70 Series tune, but they become important on higher-output builds.
As power demands increase, factory injectors can become a limiting factor for fuel delivery, combustion control and clean torque production.
Injector upgrades may be recommended when:
We assess injector condition, flow requirements and tuning goals before recommending any upgrade.
Straight-up advice comes first. We only recommend injector upgrades when they suit the build.
We work with every modern Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series, across both the VDJ 4.5L V8 turbo-diesel and GDJ 2.8L 4-cylinder turbo-diesel platforms. Each variant responds differently to tuning and mechanical upgrades, so every calibration, suspension setup and airflow package is tailored to the model code and use case.
The 79 Series is the backbone of Australia’s work and touring scene. It is the most common 70 Series platform we see in the workshop, and one of the most rewarding to tune.
Both configurations respond strongly to precision tuning on our in-house dyno. The 79 platform rewards torque-biased tuning, improved cooling and suspension matched to constant loads.
The 78 Troopy is the long-range 70 Series platform. It is built for load, endurance, remote work, touring and expedition builds.
Across both engine types, the Troopy responds best to torque optimisation, heat management and driveline reliability upgrades.
The 76 Wagon delivers 70 Series strength in a practical five-door body. It suits daily driving, towing, touring and off-road use.
The 76 benefits from refined ECU tuning, suspension geometry and braking improvements, making it more enjoyable without sacrificing reliability.
Thinking about a full 70 Series build? We can tailor a package around towing, touring, work, or off-road use.
Please note: each price, upgrade and expected power gain varies depending on the vehicle, condition, and supporting modifications
Beyond ECU tuning, we offer supporting 70 Series upgrades and preventative services to keep your LandCruiser performing reliably under load.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Protect your engine during deep water crossings and improve airflow on dusty tracks. We use premium brands like Safari Armax for cleaner air intake and stronger off-road performance. It’s a functional upgrade that looks great and performs even better.
Improve filtration and airflow for tough Aussie conditions. This upgrade pairs perfectly with a snorkel install, keeping dust and debris out while boosting engine breathing and overall performance.
Together, these upgrades deliver cleaner air, better reliability, and improved power—ideal for serious off-road and touring setups. Book your snorkel and airbox install today.
Upgrade from factory wheels to tough, functional options that suit your 4WD’s style and setup.
Choose OEM replacements to maintain the factory look with high-quality parts, or go for aftermarket rims from trusted brands like Fuel, ROH, KMC, DIRTYLIFE, and KINGS. Each package is precision-fitted for strength, balance, and performance—ready for any terrain.
A 70 Series tune improves torque, throttle response, power delivery, and drivability. It makes the vehicle easier to tow with, smoother to drive, and more predictable off-road. Every tune is tailored to your exact model, weight, tyres, accessories, and use case.
Our 70 Series tunes start from $1,600. Final pricing depends on the model, engine platform, vehicle condition, supporting upgrades, and the outcome you want from the tune.
Results vary, but many 70 Series owners see around 25% more power and up to 40% more torque from a well-matched tune. Higher gains may be possible with supporting upgrades such as exhaust, intake, clutch, turbo, or injector upgrades.
Yes. We tune VDJ 4.5L V8 turbo-diesel models and newer GDJ 2.8L turbo-diesel models. Each platform needs a different calibration strategy, especially when towing, load carrying, or automatic transmission behaviour is involved.
Yes, when the tune is built properly. Our 70 Series tuning focuses on usable low- and mid-range torque, EGT control, boost behaviour, and smooth delivery under load. We do not chase unsafe peak numbers at the cost of reliability.
Common supporting upgrades include a Manta exhaust, Odyssey catch can, Safari Armax snorkel, upgraded airbox, pre-fuel filter, heavy-duty clutch, suspension upgrades, and cooling improvements. The right setup depends on your vehicle and how you use it.
If your 70 Series is still under manufacturer warranty, an ECU remap may affect warranty coverage for related engine or driveline components. We can discuss this with you before tuning so you can make an informed decision.
