How Hilux tuning transforms your drive for the road ahead

It gives your Hilux the kick it’s been waiting for! A proper diesel tune reprograms your ECU to unlock real gains in torque, throttle response and driveability, without pushing things past safe limits.
That means, whether you’re towing the trailer, crawling off-road or stuck in peak-hour traffic, it just pulls harder, reacts quicker and runs like a gem.

Hilux tuning benefits that fuel your toughest journeys

From hauling loads to hitting trails, experience control that adapts to every mission

Think your Hilux is already tough? Wait ‘til we tune it! This is where towing grunt, throttle bite and real-world driveability take a level up.

Serious power that shows up

We don’t add power, we just unleash what your Hilux is already capable of. A precision ECU tune wakes up torque across the full rev range, giving you sharper throttle and stronger pulls without a single bolt-on.

Towing muscle without the strain

Loaded up with gear or dragging a trailer? Tuning your Hilux gives you significantly smoother shifting and less gearbox hunting. It pulls harder, climbs easier, and doesn’t break a sweat doing it.

Better fuel economy, especially under load

A tuned Hilux doesn’t have to work as hard to get the job done. That means more efficiency when towing, hauling or just hitting the highway. Put simply, more bang for your buck, every time you fill up.

Level up your Hilux tuning with even more power and capability

Every Hilux is different. So is every driver. Whether you’re chasing towing grunt, better throttle feel around town, or a mix of everything, we tailor your tune to exactly how you use your ute. And we don’t stop there.

Model-specific upgrades for your Hilux

Every Hilux generation has its own quirks, whether it’s a 2.8L auto, a manual Workmate, or a kitted-out SR5. We apply hardware and software upgrades tailored to your exact model, getting the best out of your setup without risking reliability.

You set the goal

Want torque for towing? Better fuel numbers? Sharper drivability? We don’t guess; we ask. Then we custom-tune your Hilux to deliver exactly what matters most to you.

DPF / EGR / AdBlue solutions

For off-road and motorsport use, we offer DPF & EGR solutions that free up your engine’s potential. No more clogged filters. Just cleaner flow and fewer headaches.

Custom tunes built around your needs

WWe start by understanding what you want from your Toyota, then fine-tune the ECU to match, be it hauling heavy loads, saving fuel, or just enjoying the drive.

Our process

1. Chat about your Hilux

We kick things off with a proper conversation. We get clear on what you need from your Hilux.

2. Transparent, tailored quote

You’ll get a fixed quote based on your model, goals and setup. No fluff. Just a clear price before we touch a thing.

3. Check the baseline

Before tuning starts, we run a full diagnostic and performance check. This tells us exactly how your Hilux is performing and helps us spot any issues that need addressing first.

4. Custom ECU tuning

Then it’s time to get into the real work. We fine-tune your ECU to safely unlock more power, torque and drivability, all tailored to your Hilux and how you use it.

5. Re-test and reveal the gains

Once the tune is locked in, we test again. You’ll see the numbers, feel the difference, and drive away knowing your Hilux is performing at its best.
