What is Dyno Testing?
Dyno testing, or dynamometer testing, is a precise method used to measure a vehicle’s engine performance. By placing the vehicle on a dynamometer, we can simulate real-world driving conditions in a controlled environment. This allows us to accurately evaluate horsepower, torque, and engine behavior under load—essential data for tuning, diagnostics, and performance optimization.
Why
Why Dyno Testing Matters
Dyno testing provides critical insights that go beyond what you can feel behind the wheel. Whether you're fine-tuning a custom build, verifying performance gains after modifications, or diagnosing engine issues, dyno testing gives you accurate, repeatable data. It ensures your vehicle is running efficiently, safely, and at its full potential—saving time, money, and guesswork in the long run.

Frequent Asked Questions
Automotive tuning is the process of modifying or optimizing a vehicle’s engine control unit (ECU), fuel system, ignition, air intake, exhaust, and other components to improve performance, efficiency, or drivability.
We offer a variety of tuning services, including:
ECU remapping (Stage 1, 2, 3)
Dyno tuning
Performance chip installation
Turbo and supercharger tuning
DSG & TCU tuning (for transmission optimization)
Fuel economy (eco) tuning
Custom tuning for modified builds
Gains depend on the vehicle and modifications. On average:
Stage 1 tune: 10–30% more horsepower and torque
Stage 2 or higher (with hardware upgrades): Even greater gains
We’ll provide a performance estimate specific to your vehicle before tuning.
Yes, when done correctly. Our tunes are developed with safe parameters to protect engine health and reliability. We do not push beyond what your engine and drivetrain can handle.
Not if performed professionally. However, aggressive tuning or poor maintenance can lead to premature wear. We recommend regular servicing and quality parts.
It can. Some manufacturers consider ECU modification grounds to void parts of the warranty. We offer options like tuning boxes or removable maps in some cases—ask us for details.
Yes. Even if returned to stock, many dealer diagnostic systems can detect a history of ECU changes. Some vehicles are more sensitive than others.
Yes. We can restore your original factory settings if needed, often at no extra cost (please ask when booking).
Yes. Dyno tuning allows us to precisely adjust your tune under real load conditions, offering the best performance, smoothness, and safety.
Generic remaps are pre-configured for your car model and engine, while custom dyno tuning is tailored to your exact car, mods, fuel type, and driving style.
Typical remaps take 1–3 hours. Custom dyno tuning may take 3–6 hours depending on complexity.
Yes. Ensure your car is mechanically sound, with no check engine lights, oil leaks, or misfires. Fresh fluids and clean filters are strongly recommended.
Pricing varies based on:
Vehicle make/model
Type of tune (Stage 1, 2, dyno)
Add-ons (DSG tuning, pops & bangs, etc.)
