We had this XR6 Turbo in, car had some nice upgrades, was apparently tuned on E85 but was having some tune related issues and wasn't capable of doing a full dyno run. The owner wanted the vehicle tuned for 98. First run on 98 and it went over 400rwkw, a few more runs and some changes and we had 414.9rwkw of nice smooth power.
A nice low KM VF2 Redline in for Manta Extractors and cats to compliment the dual 3 inch catback we had recently fitted. We also fitted a Harrop OTR and gave it a tune. Some of these LS3's pull great numbers.
Toyota 79 Series, we do alot of these V8 diesels, tune, exhaust, clutch, great gains.
The new model DMAX and BT50 tune up well, this DMAX got good gains
Stock LSA manual Maloo in for a service and tune, good gains in power. Just before the bi-modal system opens the exhaust power starts to drop off about 4000rpm. Once the exhaust opens up she takes off again.
Well this 2010 DMAX seemed a bit low on power stock, but it came up really well. Great gains in power and torque, it will drive so much better.
This one something different, it is running the factory Ls1 ecu, injected 7L with old school blower and injectors in the hat, runs surprisingly well, cruise control works the whole lot.
A quite well known VE SS purchased by one of our long time customers in for a tune. It was already cammed and tuned when he brought it but wasn't happy with the low down power or how it drove. Got some good power gains, sorted and ready to be enjoyed.
A few 70 Series cruisers in lately, great gains in these V8 diesels. Tune, clutch, exhaust, snorkel hat and sometimes intercooler fans.
Isuzu old and new in recently for tunes still good results on the current model.
That was an awesome drive, off to Nascar for SVG pretty soon I would say.
We have a shop full of Landcruiser at the moment, but we love putting Superchargers on these Silverados.
Whipple 3L Supercharger making 343rwkw on 35's, good numbers with a big heavy wheel and tyre. I have seen these go as high as 391rwkw on my dyno on stock wheels and tyres over 400rwkw on a hub dyno. Transforms the way they drive. Like everything occasionally there is a gremlin but 66,000km on mine now mostly towing.
Best bang for your buck Silverado improvement on the market.
Proud sponsor of this great club & event!
Happy Australia Day from the team at A1.
Happy New Year from the team at A1 Engine Tuning. 2022 was busy looking forward to 2023.
Looking back at the last job we sent home before Christmas, another Whipple Supercharger install on a new GMSV Silverado 1500 fitted with full MANTA Performance exhaust. The Whipple Supercharger kit meets US Carb Emission Standards in 50 states. It results in an amazing improvement to the Silverado.
Whipple 550 Mustang Supercharger kit with full exhaust making 448rwkw up from stock run of 268rwkw.
Final Commodore to win a Supercars Championship race at Bathurst.
What a day, from 1st lap Kaos to the showdown we saw over the final laps.
Had to steal this one and post it.
Well done to one of our customers David Chandler from Chandler Racing taking the win in Round 2 Off Road Championships!
After fixing his engine issues in his off road buggy he has had 2 podiums this year.
Best of luck team, bring on Round 3.
Even with higher fuel prices a walk through the shop revealed plenty of big V8's getting upgrades.
E2 Maloo - cam, Harrop FDFI2300 Supercharger, clutch.
Y62 - Tune
Silverado - Manta full exhaust system & Airbox upgrade.
MANTA Performance Harrop Engineering
What is the difference between a proper custom tune and a chip we get asked. I guess this explains it pretty well.
Up to 20% less fuel used when a diesel is properly tuned. It wasn't such a big deal when diesel was $1.50, now it has reached $2.30, and expected to go higher you can have your power and better economy at the same time.
Dyno sheets are a selection over the last month.
Attention Toyota 200 Series Landcrusier owners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you tired of shifting issues and hunting between 5th and 6th gear?
Do you want improved fuel economy, lower transmission temperatures?
You need a "torque converter lockup kit" when the low-speed lock-up is activated, we achieved over 25% more torque to the wheels. We also have customers reporting up to 30 degrees cooler transmission temperatures and fuel economy improvements approx 2-3L/100km when towing.
The torque convertor lockup kit is the most advanced on the market, and gives you the ability to control and “lock” the torque convertor which stops it from slipping and gives you more torque to the wheels. The kit comes in a few different options, the Dual speed, the Extreme
To get the ultimate performance and best drivability for your 200 Series add one of these units to your Custom ECU Dyno & Road Tune.
Call us today 5606 1640 for more information or book in for your Lockup-Kit.
Some new Silverado upgrades have arrived in stock 😁
LSA powered Colorado in for a retune recently, something a bit different.
A couple of race cars tuned recently both had a successful outing at Warwick in Sports Sedan. We built the engine for the newly built BMW, it will be super quick once fully developed.
That time of the year again where we thank everyone involved in our family run business, customers, reps, suppliers & our awesome team at A1 Engine Tuning! May you all have an enjoyable festive season & see you all in 2022! We will closed from 12pm 22/12/21 & reopen after our festive break on Monday 10/01/2022...............
Another new Silverado in for a full exhaust. Gives them that nice V8 noise they are missing, as well as more power torque and response.
392rwkw or 525rwhp
Pretty happy with the results on this auto Ls1 Monaro we fitted a Harrop Supercharger to, today we fitted the intake to it and gave it some dyno time.
V8 Coupe day 😁
Quick visit, back this afternoon!
A couple of RG Colorado's in for a tune, one auto and 1 manual, good gains right through the rev range.
A VF SS Auto we had in yesterday, already had a catback and tune, we fitted an OTR, extractors and cats along with a custom tune. Good gains and judging by the phonecall from the owner today a very happy customer.
+73rwkw cam and tune.
We have done a huge amount of cam upgrades in 2021. This particular car arrived this week with a tune intake and full exhaust already fitted, dyno run 235rwkw which was lower than expected. We did cam lifters etc, but the only items affecting performance were the cam and tune, exhaust and intake stayed the same. Pretty happy with the gains at 308rwkw, the previous tune wasn't fantastic and I guess it shows in the numbers.
Sometimes we get asked do you still do Diesels, we sure do, here are 2 from today. We have been tuning diesels longer than most.
We have recently sent home two more Silverado's fitted with Terrariser 3.0L supercharger kit. The dyno sheet below is on a stock intake and exhaust. Another to do before Christmas 😉
Another full system fitted on a Silverado today. HPC coated headers and full dual 3 inch, medium sound. A nice deep note and some extra grunt.
Something a bit different with this 79 series V8 Cruiser, it was sent to us for a twin exhaust and snorkel hat, a HD clutch and a custom tune. From memory it went about 167rwkw and 570rwnm. Plenty to keep the skinny wheels busy.
+109rwkw
+186rwnm
A 2021 Chevy Silverado with 1700km on the clock, complete and ready to go, fitted with a 3L Supercharger and a full MANTA Performance exhaust system with HPC coated headers. We have exhaust options in quite medium and loud.The Silver one with 1100km is next 😁
Everytime I see this I smile, I might know who tunes it 😁. Think it's won its class in the NSW Hillclimb championship 4 times.

We had this newly completed Ls2 powered BMW E46 sports sedan in for a tune today. The engine is stock at the moment but it still pushed out 274rwkw, its nearly ready for the track. Wait till it gets some more power.
383.4rwkw or 515rwhp +106rwkw We have finished (for now) our 3L Whipple Supercharger install on the new work ute, just went for a drive, it is impressive. It is running just under 7psi, so great power gains for the boost level on a stock engine. We have upgraded the brakes and exhaust plus the airbox. Dyno sheet in the comments.
277rwkw The new work ute is getting a few upgrades. Puts out surprising power with just an intake and exhaust. Dyno sheet below is stock with intake v exhaust.
421.5rwkw That's what you get when you put a Harrop FDFI2650 on a stock 2018 5L Auto Mustang, even the exhaust is stock. This car is very nice to drive, great power with good manners. Love the Shelby GT500 body kit and the brake upgrade.
## Another VE SS lifter failure ## We fitted a new cam kit, lifter, oil pump, timing chain, extractors and cats with a Harrop OTR. Now it has a nice note and a quite engine.
A cam upgrade, OTR and extractors on this VE wagon recently gained 73rwkw.
477rwkw We fitted a Harrop FDFI 2300 to this cammed VF II Redline auto. It is running relatively low boost but making good power with a very flat torque curve. Dyno sheet in the comments.
261.8rwkw VE SS auto in for a Harrop OTR and a custom tune. It already had an exhaust fitted, we ran it on the dyno it was making 222.1rwkw, after fitting the OTR and tuning we ended up with a gain of 39.7rwkw. #greatgains #OTRandtune #moretorquemorepower @Harrop
411rwhp A 1974 Corvette with a blown and injected 383ci chev in for a tune, it only makes low boost, but plenty of power for a light car, like this. #Corvette #powertoweight #getupandgo
309rwkw We had this VE SS Auto in, for a cam upgrade, new lifters, oil pump, timing chain etc, it arrived with a OTR and a full exhaust making 235rwkw. After the engine work, custom tuning on the dyno and the road netted 309rwkw. #Holden #VESSWagon #bangforyourbuck
282rwkw We just sent this VY SV8 home, it arrived with some lifter issues, run on the dyno it made 206rwkw which was more than we expected for a stock Ls1, we changed the lifters, replaced the oil pump and timing chain, new cam, dual valve springs, full engine back exhaust system and a OTR and custom tune. The aim was a smaller cam but it still made a great number at 282rwkw. Dyno sheet and photos below.
242.3rwkw We had this VE SS Auto in for a air intake a tune and a service. On arrival it was making 220.2rwkw, after fitting the OTR and custom tuning it turned out 242.3rwkw with a completely standard exhaust system.
494rwkw This VF clubby was equipped with a Walkinshaw supercharger kit from new. It came to us for a stroker build a new Mantic clutch and to fit the Walkinshaw brake upgrade. We were hoping to make a little more power but the supercharger is at it's limit.
Stroked Ls3 back together and running, now to run it in and see what she can do 😉
487rwkw or 653rwhp 915rwnm We put a cam in this VE SS back in 2018 and it made 313rwkw. This week it was back for a Harrop Engineering FDFI2300 Supercharger and a Mantic twin plate clutch. We told the owner he'd be looking at somewhere around 450rwkw, to our surprise it made 468rwkw on the first run, after a bit of tune massaging it was up to 487rwkw..... #musictoourears #blowerwhine #veryhappyowner #excitedkid
287rwkw We purchased this VY SV8 with a few things that needed fixing, while it was apart, it got cam lifters, oil pump, timing chain etc along with a new Mantic Stage 2 clutch, new radiator hoses etc. On the dyno it made a healthy 287rwkw, the previous owner was so impressed he brought it back. 👍
