Calibration detail

What We Optimised

The Toyota 1GD-FTV 2.8L diesel — the same engine that powers the Hilux and HiAce — is a modern common-rail unit with substantial remap potential. Toyota's factory calibration leaves significant torque on the table, particularly in the low-to-mid RPM range where a 4WD is most useful.

This 2017 Prado came to us nearly new at just 2,400 km. The owner had just taken delivery and wanted the full benefit of the calibration from the start. At the wheels, stock figures were 87hp and 263Nm — well below the engine's potential.

After our custom calibration, the Prado produced 119hp and 426Nm — a 37% improvement in power and a remarkable 62% gain in torque. The additional low-end torque transformed the car for towing and off-road use.

Boost pressure

Raised and shaped to match the compressor map — no surge, no lag

Fuel pressure

Common rail pressure optimised for combustion efficiency across the rev range

Cam timing

Injection timing advanced at mid-range for better torque response

Lambda / AFR

Air-fuel ratio monitored and calibrated on the dyno — not estimated

Pedal mapping

Throttle response recalibrated — no dead spot off idle, linear and predictable

EGT limits

Conservative exhaust gas temperature ceiling maintained throughout

8–15%
Fuel savings

Properly calibrated combustion means less fuel burned to reach the same torque at cruise. Most owners report 8–15% better highway fuel economy after the remap — with no hardware changes required.

Dyno before & after

Every remap is verified on our in-house Mainline dyno. You receive the actual before/after charts with your car's numbers.

Fully reversible

Your factory file is backed up before we start. We can restore the original tune any time — for dealer service or trade-in.

No extra parts

Stock exhaust, stock injectors, stock turbo. All gains come from the calibration — nothing on your car needs to change.

Got my Ranger PX2 tuned here. Massive difference in throttle response and pulls way harder up hills with the caravan. Workshop is spotless and the lads explain everything. Worth every cent.

Booked online, dropped the car off in the morning, picked it up after work. Honest quote, no upsell, and the difference in my Q5 is night and day on the freeway.

Drove down from the Central Coast for these guys and it was worth every km. Smoother, stronger, and using less fuel on my run home. Highly recommend to anyone with a diesel.

Had my LandCruiser 200 Series tuned. Completely transformed — towing my horse float is effortless now. These guys know diesels inside out. Factory file backed up, zero risk.

BMW X5 30d done. Was nervous about voiding warranty but they explained everything, backed up the original file, and the result on the freeway is outstanding. Fuel economy actually improved.

My D-Max had a DPF and remap done the same day. No drama, no upsell, dyno sheets handed over when I picked up. The before/after numbers speak for themselves.
