Unleash your diesel vehicle’s full potential with supercharged power, performance, and efficiency – all in one. At Willy’s Workshop, we specialise in diesel tuning, giving you more torque, better fuel economy, and a superior driving experience.
Diesel tuning is what we do best at Willy’s Workshop. With years of focused experience, we cut through the noise to give you diesel performance that counts. Whether you need more power, better efficiency, or greater reliability, we stick to what works to get it done right.
Diesel tuning, also known as engine remapping or chip tuning, involves modifying the settings of your vehicle’s Engine Control Unit (ECU) to optimise both performance and fuel efficiency.
By fine-tuning crucial factors like fuel injection timing, turbo boost, and throttle response, diesel tuning maximises your engine’s performance, ensuring it runs smoother, more powerfully, and more efficiently.
You may come across terms like diesel tuning, ECU remapping and chip tuning. These all refer to the same thing: remapping your engine’s ECU for better power, efficiency and drivability.
Transmission tuning is different. It remaps your gearbox’s control unit (shift points, line pressure and torque-converter lockup), and on automatic 4WDs and tow rigs we often pair it with an engine tune for smoother, stronger shifting. To get the most from a tune, we can also supply and fit the supporting hardware — fresh fuel injectors where yours are worn, a free-flowing exhaust, and a transmission cooler to keep temperatures down when towing.
At Willy’s Workshop, we offer a range of specialised tuning services:
Optimise your engine’s settings for better power, fuel efficiency, and throttle response.
Customise your vehicle’s performance with multiple tuning options for different driving conditions.
Boost your engine’s performance with upgrades designed specifically for your vehicle.
Fine-tune your transmission for smoother shifts and improved power delivery.
Get your vehicle running at peak performance with accurate dyno testing.

Got questions about diesel tuning? Our FAQ section is here to clear up any queries and provide you with the information you need to understand how tuning can boost your diesel vehicle’s performance.
ECU remapping: Reprogramming the ECU to optimise engine parameters.
Hardware upgrades: Installing components like upgraded turbochargers or intercoolers.
Transmission adjustments: Modifying transmission settings to complement engine enhancements.
The tuning process for diesel engines works by adjusting the air/fuel ratios, fuel injectors, and ignition timing. By doing this, the engine can produce more torque and power, which can help the car to pull more weight and go faster.
The best vehicles are Diesel, as they are more efficient than their petrol counterparts.
Are you thinking about your car! Let our team assess the current condition of your engine and what kind of performance upgrades your vehicle may need. We’ve tuned hundreds of cars, trucks, and SUVs, so we know what it takes to turn every diesel engine into a masterpiece with our tuning process.
When we start work with your turbo diesel engine, we will connect your car with our computer and testing tools to read the current conditions like:
Our technicians do an in depth inspection of your vehicle condition. They also measure all sorts of characteristics, including engine power, fuel economy, cooling system efficiency, general driving ability & notify you, the customer of any issues.
Any engine that has an issue prior to tuning is fixed using the best quality parts with the state of the art and best quality workmanship. We will ensure that the right part is installed to perform its best. Our team goes the extra mile to ensure that your car receives only the best repairs and is repaired to the same condition as factory or better! We then can carry out the diesel tuning service to achieve more torque and more power! Sound good? Contact us to book in!
At Willy’s Workshop, we’re trusted for restoring trucks to factory-level performance – or better – delivering results you can rely on.
Tuners are the easiest way to both increase power, fuel efficiency and improve engine performance, Although we do not recommend them at all, as they are not a custom remap to suit your car. We only flash the factory ecu, so we can fully control all of the factory parameters for any particular engine, while still maintaining any safety guards and warning systems. Many of these plug and play tuners trick your car into seeing factory values, while actually pouring fuel into the engine. This will give you a power increase to the vehicle and a perceived increase in torque at the expense of possibly blowing up your engine. We have removed countless piggyback systems after engine failures, and then performed the ecu remapping service at our workshop.
The end result every time is an increase in power, more torque, less fuel and a better turbo diesel vehicle all around. At the same time as the rebuild we can also offer upgrades to improve reliability.
As part of all logbook service Willys uses specialised injector cleaners to ensure you get the best life and diesel performance possible.
