Our tuning process

  1. Initial diagnostics & baseline logging
  2. Custom calibration on bench or in-vehicle
  3. Iterative road/dyno validation
  4. Report, handover and safe-mode checks

We keep changes incremental and reversible. All tunes include a post-service validation and recommendations for hardware if needed.

FAQ — Gearbox tuning Christchurch

When performed by trained technicians with proper logging and limits, gearbox calibration adjustments are safe and reversible. We prioritise reliability and thermal management.

Yes — dyno validation is available and recommended for performance-oriented calibrations to ensure consistent behaviour under load.

Simple shift-map optimisations may be same-day; full calibrations with dyno validation typically take 1–2 days depending on scope and validation needs.
