How Does Dyno Tuning Actually Work?

Dyno tuning is the process of making adjustments to your vehicle's ignition, fuel supply, or air supply. These changes allow your vehicle to reach higher levels of horsepower and torque while maintaining a good fuel to air ratio. During a dyno tune, the technician visually examines your car and asks you questions. They then examine your distributor for flaws and place the car on the dynamometer. This allows the vehicle to be tested under various driving conditions to test its performance. The vehicle will be tested again after the adjustments are made.

How Much Performance Can You Get From a Dyno Tuning?

On average, a dyno tuning will increase your horsepower by 10% to 15%. This is assuming that the vehicle was operating at factory standard before the tune. More horsepower can be achieved by upgrading other parts of the vehicle, such as the exhaust and turbo. In some cases, you could see up to a 25% increase in your horsepower. This in turn increases your speed, fuel efficiency, and torque. Dyno tuning is a great move for those wishing to get more out of their factory-stock vehicle. Just make sure your upgrade is performed by a qualified technician.

What Does a Dyno Tune Do?

Dyno tuning is the process of testing your vehicle to determine its horsepower, air to fuel ratio, and torque. Once these are known, changes can be made to ensure that your car is operating at peak performance. The two types of dyno tuning are engine and chassis. An engine dyno measures the engine numbers, while a chassis dyno measures the full power generated by the wheels.

Q: How Long Does a Dyno Tune Take?

How long a dyno tune takes depends on the condition of your vehicle. On average the process is between two and four hours. To ensure that your tune goes quickly and smoothly, consider: Checking for leaks in your vacuum, intake, and exhaust. Ensuring that your fuel system is working properly. Changing your spark plugs and oil. Inspecting your tires for damage. Ensuring that your car is in good working order prior to your dyno tune will speed up the process.

Alex and his team have done an amazing job at fault finding my LC200 with a air bleed down fault. Found the issues and fixed it in a fast turnaround. Also cleaned the intake manifold and installed my HPD intercooler. Top job.

Professional service providing excellent results at a better dollar value than their competitors with better results. Ricky at Elite Tune did a fantastic job with a 40% HP gain with a stage 2 tune on my Hilux and sorted a few other issues in the process. Highly recommend, 5 stars for sure 👌

From the first phone call talking about my DPF and couple other niggle issues, through to picking it up all fixed and tuned...great customer service.Very happy with the gains and power/torque delivery smoothness for my grand cherokee turbo diesel. They knew what I wanted and delivered. Bum-o-metre and graphs prove the promise. Would recommend and great coffee shop 2 doors down.

The team at Elite Tune delivered an outstanding service above and beyond my expectations. My Pajero Sport doesn't just look good with a new bull bar but has a lot more power after fitting a new exhaust, snorkle, an ECU remap and a dyno tune. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding.

Best experience with a service and tune I've had and exceeded expectations with the tune to boost power and make my Amarok more fuel efficient. Highly recommend the team at Elite Tune as they went over and above what any other mechanic would provide.

If the tune and exhaust fitting was an A+ standard worth 5 star, the service was phenomenal. Highly recommend and would definitely use in the future. Our Ute tows the 21ft family caravan like a dream, even the wife is happy to take a turn.
