Book a Hilux Tune in Perth

Looking for Hilux tuning in Perth? We tune Toyota Hilux models for stronger torque, sharper throttle response and better performance under load.

A factory Hilux is built to suit a wide range of drivers and conditions. Once you add larger tyres, touring weight, towing loads or other modifications, the factory calibration may no longer suit how your rig is being used.

At our Welshpool workshop, we tune your Hilux around its engine, modifications and intended use. No generic files. No guesswork. Just a setup matched to how you actually drive your 4WD.

Our Hilux tuning services

We tune and upgrade 2.4L, 2.8L and 3.0L Toyota Hilux models for towing, touring, work and off-road use. Every setup is matched to your vehicle, supporting modifications and performance goals.

In-house performance tuning

Hilux dyno tuning

See exactly what your Hilux is doing under load before we make changes.

Dyno tuning lets us measure how your Hilux delivers power and torque throughout the rev range. We can assess engine behaviour under controlled load and make changes based on real data.

Our in-house dyno also lets us complete baseline and final runs, so we can verify the result rather than relying on estimated improvements.

  • Improve towing torque and response
  • Reduce lazy factory throttle behaviour
  • Deliver smoother power through the rev range
  • Confirm gains with before and after dyno results

How Does It Work?

Our Hilux tuning process is built around understanding your vehicle before making changes. The exact process depends on your engine, current modifications, condition, intended use and performance goals.

01

Initial inspection

We inspect your Hilux and discuss how you use it. We look at factors such as towing, touring weight, tyre size, existing modifications and any drivability issues you want addressed.

02

Diagnostics and baseline testing

We check the vehicle for relevant faults and establish how it currently performs. Where dyno tuning forms part of the job, we complete baseline testing before making calibration changes.

03

Supporting upgrades

Where required, we fit the supporting hardware included in your chosen package. This may include a Manta exhaust, Odyssey catch can, Safari Armax snorkel, pre-fuel filter, injectors or turbo upgrade.

04

Custom ECU tuning

We calibrate the ECU around your Hilux and its supporting modifications. The goal is usable torque, smooth delivery and better drivability rather than chasing a number that does not suit the vehicle.

05

Final testing

We complete final checks and testing after the tune. This lets us confirm the vehicle is performing as intended and compare the result against its starting point.

Top notch service from the boys at Elite tune, brought my 2020 Dmax in for a timing chain inspection and a valve clearance and they did an amazing job right from me walking through the doors handing the keys in and grabbing my keys and driving off the parking lot. Customer service was excellent, the team were very accommodating and extremely friendly, when I got my Ute back the engine bay was extremely neat and tidy after having the rocker cover off etc, I personally couldn’t be happier knowing I made the right call and took my vehicle to Elite Tune, definitely will be going back for any further servicing or repairs.Thankyou team !

Thankyou Elite Tune for your expertise and service on our newly purchased 2016 BT50. We came with a lot of questions and i cannot fault the communication and service we received. I was most impressed with the cleanliness of the workshop. Elite Tune present them selves very well. The workshop was full of cars which was reassuring, and we were able to get the car booked in in a relatively quick time frame. Their estimate was spot on (actually the final bill was slightly cheaper, which was a nice surprise) and we have received excellent aftercare service so far. We will be returning to Elite Tune for future work on our car.Special mention to Wazza, who dealt with all our enquiries and was super helpful, this was much appreciated.

Took my Ford Ranger to Elite Tune in Welshpool, and I am absolutely blown away. Their communication was spot on from start to finish, and they provided the absolute best service. I am amazed by how the car drives now. The turbo lag is gone, the power delivery is incredibly smooth, and the low-down grunt is unbelievable. If you want your rig sorted properly by people who know what they're doing, look no further than these guys.

FAQs

What Hilux models can you tune?

We provide performance upgrades for 2.4L, 2.8L and 3.0L Toyota Hilux models. The right tuning and upgrade package depends on your exact vehicle, existing modifications and performance goals. Get in touch with your model details and we can confirm the options available.

How much power can a Hilux tune add?

Our supplied package figures estimate Stage 1 power gains of around 10-15%, Stage 2 gains of 15-25% and Stage 3 gains of 35-50%. Actual results vary between vehicles, engines, modifications and vehicle condition.

How much torque can a Hilux tune add?

Approximate torque gains are 20-25% for Stage 1, 25-30% for Stage 2 and 60-80% for Stage 3. These figures are approximate because every Hilux responds differently depending on its engine, setup and supporting hardware.

Is Hilux tuning good for towing?

Hilux tuning can improve the usable low and mid-range torque available when towing. We tune around real-world drivability, so the focus is on smoother response and stronger performance under load rather than simply chasing peak power.

What is included in a Stage 1 Hilux package?

Our Stage 1 package includes a custom dyno ECU remap, Manta exhaust system and Odyssey catch can. It is designed as a starting point for Hilux owners wanting stronger everyday performance, towing response and touring capability.

What is included in a Stage 2 Hilux package?

Stage 2 includes a custom dyno ECU remap, full Manta exhaust system, Odyssey catch can, Safari Armax snorkel and pre-fuel filter kit. It adds supporting hardware for Hilux models used under heavier towing, touring and work loads.

What is included in a Stage 3 Hilux package?

Stage 3 adds high-flow injectors and a high-flow turbo to the supporting modifications used in the lower stages. It is intended for higher-output builds where the factory turbo and fuel system no longer support the desired performance level.

Do you dyno tune Hilux models?

Yes. We provide in-house dyno tuning at our Welshpool workshop. This allows us to establish a baseline, tune the vehicle under controlled load and complete final testing to confirm how the Hilux performs after the changes.

Can you tune a Hilux with other modifications?

Yes. We tailor the tune around your vehicle and supporting modifications. Exhausts, snorkels, airboxes, injectors, turbo upgrades and other changes can affect how a Hilux should be calibrated, which is why we avoid a one-size-fits-all approach.

Should I upgrade my Hilux exhaust before tuning?

Not every Hilux needs the same supporting upgrades. Exhaust upgrades form part of our existing Hilux performance packages and can support improved exhaust flow. We recommend the setup that suits your vehicle, intended use and performance target.

Does every tuned Hilux need upgraded injectors?

No. High-flow injectors are included in our Stage 3 package for higher-output builds. Stage 1 and Stage 2 packages use the existing fuel system, so injector upgrades are not automatically required for every tuned Hilux.
