Tuning - NZ Performance Tuning

We have over 14 years experience in tuning vehicles of all different types, we of course do all the most popular models, but we also love getting stuck into projects a little more interesting. All of our experience gets passed on to our customers in the form of high quality work and fast service. Almost all of our tunes & performance fit outs can be completed within a day – because we know how eager our clients are to experience the upgrades themselves!

One of our core values is transparency, we will not hide anything from our clients. When you get a tune with us, we are happy to have a long and open discussion with you about what has been done to your car, what else can be done to your car and any advice that could be helpful. Our work is also covered by our warranty policy, so you’re in good hands.

Car & 4WD Vehicle Tuning

The ECU of most vehicles is mapped to cater to the middle ground, for drivers who ignore service schedules and use second rate fuel; it means your car is only working at 80% capacity. By remapping the ECU we are capable of delivering much more power, plenty more torque and more kms for your money. We’re not talking about small incremental changes here, a tuned vehicle can get as much as 40% increase in power in some instances.

Whether you want increased power, more torque, to smooth out your power curve across the rev range or simply fuel savings – then NZ Performance Tuning have the knowledge and capability to shape your engines characteristics around the way you drive! All of this is done by working with, instead of against the original vehicle systems. The vehicle can be completely returned to its original state at any time.

DSG Tuning and Gearbox Tuning

At NZ Performance Tuning DSG tuning is custom – there are light modifications for the DSG tuning that can be made to improve shift speed, responsiveness and smoothness of the gearbox and power delivery. Significant gains in torque delivery can be achieved; track day and sports enthusiast drivers will simply love it. Our DSG remapping offers 70% improvement in DSG shift speed and significant ¼ mile and 0-100 improvement. our DSG remapping is measurable, demonstrable, and very noticeable – you will really enjoy these changes.

Our gearbox and DSG tuning, very suitable for tuned, high performance and modified vehicles. As well as the custom ECU remapping software and engine tuning, we offer custom DSG tuning and gearbox tuning to ensure your engine performance, modifications and tuning are working in perfect harmony.

Truck and Bus Tuning

Whether you want increased power, more torque, to smooth out your power curve across the rev range or simply fuel savings. NZ Performance Tuning have the knowledge and capability to shape your engines characteristics around the way you drive.

All of this is done by working with, instead of against the original vehicle systems. The vehicle can be completely returned to its original state at any time.

NZ Performance Tuning offers a large range of power upgrade options for modern ECU controlled trucks. Having a NZ Performance Tuning remap onto a truck, you will immediately see an improvement in power, torque and fuel efficiency.

Tractor Tuning

NZ Performance Tuning offers a large range of power upgrade and fuel saving options for modern ECU controlled tractors and harvesters.

Having a NZ Performance Tuning remap onto a tractor you will immediately see an improvement in power, torque and fuel efficiency. You will notice more torque making it easier to pull up steep inclines, more power to tow the heavy loads, but above all – you will use less fuel, which depending on your usage could be saving thousands of dollars per year.

Tuning options available for Fendt, JCB, John Deere, Massey Ferguson, MC Cormick, New Holland, Valtra, Claas, Deutz, Case, Hyundai, Linde AG, and Volvo.

Jet Ski Tuning

We have the specialist equipment needed to remap the standard ECU on most types of Jet Skis.

Our services remove factory timing retard, remove restricted throttle opening curves (fly by wire). And then proceed to improve throttle response, increase RPM limiter & top speed limiter. Finally, we also adjust the ignition timing & injector phasing duty cycle.

Jet Ski ECU remapping is a far more effective way to tune your Jet Ski than using a power commander as the standard ECU has far more control over the whole engine. A power commander will only adjust the fuel mixture by changing the injection duty cycle. With an ECU remap we can alter ALL the engine working parameters and give you much better results!

Heavy Machinery Tuning

Whether you want higher power, more torque and smoother gains across the rev range, a broader power band, or simply better fuel economy. NZ Performance Tuning have the knowledge and capability to shape your engines characteristics around the way you drive.

NZ Performance Tuning is the answer for the customer who cares about performance and quality. We do not change settings to dramatic levels or use boost spiking for that ‘feels quick’ effect, where in reality performance would be lowered where an ECU can adapt out these dangerous levels. Instead we tailor many changes throughout the rev range altering many perameters – others neglect to give optimal performance throughout.

Machinery now covered – includes motors from : JCB, CAT, Cummins, Detroit, Hyundai and more…..

DPF Solutions

A vehicles DPF, also formally known as Diesel Particulate Filter is a particle filter which decreases the total amount of pollution emitted by diesel vehicles. DPF filters do this by filtering the solid particles which are found in the exhaust fumes. Over periods of time, the particle filter (DPF) fitted on diesel vehicles can become clogged and blocked by an accumulation of exhaust soot,

With our revolutionary DPF Removal Software, we will reprogram your vehicle’s engine management system to fully disable the diesel particulate filter which means you won’t have anymore DPF warning lights on your dashboard, your engine going into LIMP mode or any more costly DPF issues going forward.

For more information on the process, costs and solutions for your vehicle get in touch with us..

EGR Solutions

The EGR valve’s purpose is to open and close (normally electronically) at certain moments during different the rev ranges, but these valves get clogged up with carbon deposits, which can make them fail, or even get blocked making them stuck altogether either open or closed.

Symptoms can vary from poor idling speed, knocking, loss of power, engine unresponsive, smoke from the exhaust pipe, and the engine management light coming on.

Removal of the EGR valve and or system can be by simply blanking off the exhaust input and the reprogramming of the ECU results in lowered engine temperatures, improving fuel economy, the cars throttle response and it can also can lengthen engine life by reducing oil contamination and carbon deposits.
