  • AdBlue Off Tuning – Turns off AdBlue (DEF) systems for machines working in remote areas where fluid supply can be unreliable.
  • Exhaust Modifications – Custom exhaust setups for reduced backpressure and improved sound and performance.
  • Speed & RPM Limiter Adjustments – Adjusted for fleet management, safety compliance, or increased operational flexibility.

Each modification is custom-mapped using Alientech Kess3 and verified on our in-house dyno for consistent, reliable results.

These services are strictly intended for off-highway and fleet use. We’ll provide clear, honest guidance on what’s suitable for your application so you stay compliant and get the best outcome for your truck or equipment.

Our Truck Tuning Process

Every truck tune we complete follows a proven, data-driven process to guarantee performance, safety, and reliability. Nothing leaves the workshop without full verification on our dyno.

  1. Initial Assessment: We start with a full vehicle inspection and ECU scan to check for existing faults, updates, or restrictions. This ensures your truck is mechanically sound before tuning begins
  2. ECU Read & Backup: Using Alientech Kess3, we read your truck’s ECU data and create a full backup of the factory software. This guarantees you can always revert to stock settings if required.
  3. Custom Calibration: Our tuners modify key parameters (fuel maps, boost pressure, torque limiters, and throttle response) to match your truck’s engine, load demands, and driving conditions.
  4. Dyno Testing & Fine-Tuning: The new file is loaded into your ECU and tested on our in-house dyno. We log live data for torque, power, and air-fuel ratios, making refinements until the results are perfect.
  5. Verification & Handover: You’ll receive a before-and-after dyno report showing measurable gains in horsepower, torque, and efficiency. We explain the changes made and ensure you’re confident before driving away.

Our goal is simple: Maximum performance with zero compromise on reliability.

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!

FAQs

What is truck tuning?

Truck tuning, also known as ECU remapping, is the process of reprogramming your truck’s Engine Control Unit (ECU) to optimise performance, torque, and fuel efficiency. Using advanced tools like Alientech Kess3, we adjust the factory settings for fuel injection, boost pressure, and throttle response. The result is smoother power delivery, stronger towing capability, and better fuel economy—without replacing any hardware.

How much does truck tuning cost?

Our truck ECU remapping starts from $2,250, including dyno testing and a full ECU backup. Pricing may vary depending on your engine type, setup, and additional tuning options such as torque limiter adjustments or off-highway modifications.

How long does the process take?

A standard tune takes around half a day, including diagnostics, ECU read/write, and dyno verification. Fleet or off-highway vehicles may require more time for additional testing.

Is the tuning safe for my truck?

Yes. We use only licensed Alientech Kess3 software and tune safely within manufacturer tolerances. Every calibration is verified on our in-house dyno, ensuring your truck performs efficiently without overstressing components.

Does truck tuning affect compliance?

Compliance depends on how your truck is used.

  • For road-registered trucks, we provide emissions-compliant tuning that retains DPF, EGR, and AdBlue systems.
  • For off-highway applications (mining, agricultural, construction), we offer non-compliant options such as DPF, EGR, or AdBlue delete tuning. These are strictly for off-road or controlled environments.

What are the benefits of truck tuning?

You can expect more torque, better throttle response, and improved fuel economy. Gains vary by engine and load type, but most owners report a smoother drive and stronger performance under heavy loads.

Do you offer fleet or agricultural tuning?

Yes. We tune commercial fleets, mining trucks, and agricultural machinery such as tractors and harvesters. Each tune is customised to your specific workload and environment for maximum efficiency and reliability.

Can I return to my factory settings later?

Absolutely. Before tuning, we create a full backup of your factory ECU file, allowing us to restore it at any time if you choose.

What qualifications do our mechanics have?

Our team at Elite Tune, backed by over two decades of expertise in automotive engineering and performance tuning, specialises in 4WDs. This extensive experience ensures we deliver top-tier vehicle tuning and maintenance services.

What is our privacy policy?

Do we have a warranty?

Your rights as a consumer are protected by automatic guarantees when you use our services, which cover due care and skill, fitness for purpose, and timely completion. These are in addition to any warranties we offer, ensuring you can still seek remedies like repair, replacement, refund, or cancellation if standards are not met, even after the warranty period. The nature of the fault—major or minor—determines your entitlements, with major issues allowing for a choice between a refund or replacement, while minor problems will be fixed at no extra cost. Manufacturer’s and extended warranties do not limit these rights under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), guaranteeing protection and remedies regardless of warranty duration.
