25.01.2022 Easily one of the most popular vehicles we are asked to improve is the 70 Series Landcruiser's, these vehicles are fitted with the same 1VD-FTV 4.5 Litre V8 diesel as found in the 200kw 200 Series Landcruisers but feature one turbo as opposed to the two found in the 200 series. The 70 series boasts power of 151kw & 430nm in standard form and anyone who has driven a 70 series can tell you, performance is not high on its list of talents. DTA have established a range of perform...ance upgrades for all years and models of the 1VD-FTV powered 70 series 'Cruiser starting from $1295, that will transform how this vehicle drives, taking the standard power and torque to around 195kw & 640nm (or around the same as a standard 200 series). If your looking for more, we can take your 1VD-FTV to around 245kw & 750nm safely with the addition of our higher flowing genuine TorqMax turbocharger, quality custom factory ECU remap and some other specific bolt on parts. Our range of 70 Series Landcruiser packages can be viewed on our website and these packages can be supplied and fitted by most DTA dealers around the country. https://dieseltuneaustralia.com//toyota-common-r/70-series

21.01.2022 Another great result for Barrett's Auto Electrical in Bundaberg, this time with a 2018 Holden Colorado. The 2.8 picked up a extremely useful 50% in both power and torque through the mid range and all the while Wade at Barrett's kept a close eye on the air fuel ratio to maintain a safe and reliable motor vehicle. If you are located near Bundy in Queensland, we highly recommend giving Wade a call at Barrett's Auto Electrical and getting your common rail diesel booked in there for the DTA treatment! #Dieseltuneaustralia #onlythebest #reliabilityfirst #satisfactionguarantee #customtuned #dynotuned

21.01.2022 Do you tow a van or boat with your late model common rail diesel vehicle? Ever wondered what the real world gains are by fitting a heavy duty intercooler and if its worth the expense? Well, in a recent article we did with RV Daily magazine, we tested a Process West TerraTuff Intercooler on a brand new 2019 PX3 Ranger and the results are profound! ... The testing covered a our Stage-1 Towing package which consists of the following: *Baseline dyno run *Fitment of a Process West TerraTuff Sepr8r Catch Can *Fitment of a Process West TerraTuff Intercooler kit *Custom DTA ECU remap on the dyno For this test, we decided to mix it up a little and engaged the customer and his 20ft caravan into the testing for a true before and after reaction - you can read the full details of this test in an upcoming edition of RV Daily magazine, we will let you know when it hits the shelves. Briefly, the testing began with our standard baseline dyno run, we then went about remapping this brand new PX3 on the dyno for maximum safe power for towing. We followed the remapping by 3 back-to-back dyno runs to show what really can happen to an intercooler when the power demand is high, such as towing. Next, we fitted up the Process West TerraTuff intercooler and Sepr8r catch can and ran the vehicle on the dyno for 4 more back-to-back dyno runs... its fair to say the results speak for themselves with basically zero drop off in power or torque! Check out the images for more detailed explanations.

21.01.2022 Another great result for the good people at Barretts Auto Electrical & Diesel Dyno Tuning in Bundaburg QLD. This Navara will now do the job of towing a caravan a whole lot easier and safer for the now happy customer!

20.01.2022 Tim Bates grabs Matt out of the office to explain how and why an oil catch can works. Matt also explains that not all oil catch cans are the same and why the Process West TerraTuff Sepr8r is our catch can of choice.

20.01.2022 As part of the Victorian Governments response to CoronaVirus, the Stage-1 shut down will NOT effect us trading. So, still business as usual, all staff are fit and healthy and on board and we will continue to monitor the situation and announcements from government agencies and heath organisations and will act accordingly. We would sincerely like to express our sympathys to the people and businesses who cannot work, we consider ourselves extremely fortunate to be able to conti...nue to trade and pay our staff, when many people are looking down the barrel of loosing their jobs or business and dont know how they are going to pay their bills and feed their families... Lets hope the Government can act quickly and decisively as NOW is the time the community and Government need to band together without the red tape and support one another! Take care everyone! Diesel Tune Australia.

18.01.2022 The N70 Toyota Hilux with the 3.0L 1KD diesel engine made way for the 2.8L powered N80 in 2015 but there are still what seems hundreds of thousands of the early models on the road mainly because as the add said, they are almost unbreakable. We still get asked numerous times on a daily basis, ''what can you do to my Hilux to get it to go?" Well, DTA have a range of performance packages for these cars that provide you what you need, and nothing you don't need. Flywheel power c...an jump up to 165kw & 530nm with just a remap, all the way up to 240kw & 700nm with some choice add on components. On the road, even the Stage-1 remap transforms these cars, no... not into a race car, but they actually go well and this goes for the 1KD powered Hiace and Prado as well. Check out the following link to our website that outlines what, you get, how much power you can expect and what it costs! https://dieseltuneaustralia.com//toyo/hilux/3-0l-2006-2015 https://www.facebook.com/DieselTuneAustralia/posts/2240124936273144 And don't forget, we have DTA dealers around the country to service you and your rig - check out the contacts page on the website for a dealer nearest you.

16.01.2022 We get asked a lot, will the extra power hurt my engine, well in his latest video DTA ambassador Tim Bates 4WD Adventures explains how he has got well over 300,000kms out of his ZD30 Patrol with good maintenance and professional tuning.

16.01.2022 No better way to improve the performance of a Ford Ranger than an ecu remap. With a 30% increase in power and 50% increase in torque in the midrange this ranger now performs like it should have from factory #dieseltuneaustralia #lstuningandperformance #fordranger #ecuremap #dieselpower

15.01.2022 DTA Remap Results for LDV T60 2.8L Standard: 110kw / 360nm DTA Remap: 137kw / 450nm (calculated)... As you can see from the dyno graph, the LDV 2.8 litre diesel responds solidly to professional ECU remapping. The remap of the vehicles factory ECU maintains all the inbuilt safety features and has given this LDV a great boost to the mid range power band which will make it much nicer and easier to drive and the extra grunt in the top end will really assist in over taking when required.

11.01.2022 You might think that all ECU Remap's are the same, if you can remember the Castrol GTX2 "Oils ain't Oil's" TV commercial, well the same can be said about what we do... " ECU Remapping Ain't ECU Remapping! " We have heard all of the good Facebook Quotes from the self proclaimed Internet Professors; "Its all ready been tuned and I didn't really notice it" "Its a waste of Money" "If you need more power you should have bought a 200 series" "Remapping does not work that well" and... the old trusty "They will break your engine, then you're on your own". Now I'm going to go out on a limb here and I'm going to AGREE WITH THE INTERNET PROFESSORS! but with one caveat - all those Facebook Quotes could be true IF you don't choose the right company to remap your ECU. But how do you know who the right company is? 1/ Is the Company tuning your car a Company with a workshop? 2/ Does the company tuning your car have a dyno? 3/ Are you getting a Before and After dyno graph? 4/ Does the company tuning your car offer a warranty you can read? 5/ Does the company tuning your car have years of experience? 6/ Is your vehicle being custom tuned or is it a "one size fits all" File upload? If you can answer No to any of the above, I highly recommend you move on and try Diesel Tune Australia: 1/ All DTA dealers are highly trusted professional workshops 2/ All DTA dealers have dynomometers 3/ All DTA dealers provide a Before and After dyno graph of your car 4/ DTA has a market leading warranty, support and back up 5/ All DTA dealers are highly experienced with many years in the performance industry 6/ All DTA dealers scrutinize and optimize the tune file before you get your car back Check this link out to find the DTA dealer closest to you! https://dieseltuneaustralia.com/diesel-tune-australia-agen/ See more

11.01.2022 Another incredible result by our tuners on this 79 Series thats now packing some serious grunt! This customer had already fitted a 3" exhaust and a heavy duty clutch to suit the astounding increases which we would highly recommend when getting our custom ECU remap done.

10.01.2022 By far the most popular vehicle we tune here at DTA is the 3.2L Ford Ranger and Mazda 3.2L BT50 and through the years we have put together a bunch of performance packages for this platform that have been widely acclaimed both by the end user and media outlets, and its this that leads us to confidently think that DTA is the market leader, especially when it comes to this vehicle. Our package of the week is our most popular package for the Ranger and BT50, and that is out Stag...e-1 Towing package. This package address the mandatory requirement of a high quality Process West intercooler and catch can upgrade and then we bring it all home with a quality custom remap on the dyno by our very own Tech genius / ECU calibrator who has been with us for well over 20 years and has tuned literally many hundreds of these 3.2 engines. Check out the link for our Ranger / BT50 platform performance packages and feel free to contact our DTA sales team to see who and how we can help get your 3.2 moving in your area. https://dieseltuneaustralia.com//ford-commo/ranger/px-3-2l

07.01.2022 The Isuzu Dmax and MUX are very popular vehicles for people in the know, their power-plant, the 4JJ1 engine, is as reliable as they get and thanks to Isuzus extremely conservative tuning strategy, it lends itself to a high quality ECU Remap very well. Typically we see gains of around 25-30% in both power and torque, and this is with very safe air fuel ratios and EGTs so you can feel confident in our workmanship once your able to hook the Van and the Horizon is your destination... we guarantee it! https://www.hp-f.com.au/tuning/d-max-my12-18-ecu-remap

05.01.2022 COVID-19 First up its important to know that at this point in time its business as usual at Diesel Tune Australia, however, as the Corona virus is still in its infancy, like everyone else, we do not know how this will affect us being able to provide our vehicle servicing and upgrades moving forward. As a group, we are doing everything we can to do our part to ensure our workplace and personnel are geared to minimize transmission wherever possible.

04.01.2022 Diesel Tune Australia - Covid-19 Stage 4 policy 11/08/2020 Due to the Victorian Governments Stage-4 COVID Restrictions and recently released policy clarification from industry bodies, DTA head office (HPF) in Dandenong has made the decision to close the workshop doors as of 5pm on the 11th of August until 8am on the 16th of September 2020 or until advised otherwise by the Victorian Government.... HPF has not made this decision lightly, but ultimately we are entirely confident that we have taken the correct choice of action to do our part in assisting Victoria in containing and minimizing further contraction of the COVID19 Virus. This temporary closure will NOT EFFECT our national Dealer Network and its business as usual at all other Dealers. All customers with existing bookings (numbering over 90 people!) have been contacted and we will work closely with these customers to tentatively rebook them as they appeared in our schedule. New jobs will be taken on, on a case by case basis, upon our return. DTA sales staff will still be contactable as email, Facebook and phone messages will still be monitored, albeit remotely. Replies maybe delayed. DTA website sales for Process West, TorqMax, Voodoo Ride and Harrop will remain open however some delays may be encountered due to local or regional restrictions. The Diesel Tune Australia file service will still be offered to our National DTA dealer network however for those DTA Dealers, please allow for extra time as our staff will be working from home and may not be able to offer the same level of reply that you have come to expect. Hardware such as Catch Cans and Intercoolers are still available via drop shipping methods, however TorqMax turbo supply may experience a delay or non-supply due to local restrictions. DTA mobile phone numbers will still be monitored. We sincerely thank everyone for their understanding and like everyone; this is not how we saw 2020 panning out but the sooner we get this under control the sooner we can get back to normality. Stay Safe. DTA
