We now stock easy to fit tune up boxes for all commonrail diesel engines (most pickups since 2000) they offer 15-20 bhp power increase and 10-15% increase fuel efficiency. These retail at 14,000 Baht but we are selling them for 7,000 Baht. Call for details.

Another option that is becoming very popular is tuning. If you are looking for more power, extra performance, better road handling, increased economy or to turn your car into race track toy we have options for you.
For trucks and 4x4s there are a number of options starting from under 10,000 Baht for a bit of extra power and a marked increase in fuel efficiency. If you want to spend a bit more your engine can be tuned, you can increase air flow with aftermarket air filters, replacement or piggyback ECUs add a lot more power. Beyond this you can opt for larger turbos, full exhaust systems, uprated suspension, uprated clutch, uprated brakes. Your project is only limited by what you require and your overall budget. The most cost efficient package we do is 70,000 Baht, this is for any commonrail engine. Average figures for a 3.0l turbo diesel engine are and increase in horsepower from 160bhp to 220+bhp and an increase in torque from 260Nm to 400+Nm. With the newer model we prefer to keep the power increases within the safety parameters so there is little risk of permanent damage but we can tailor a kit to your expected gains.
We have kits and options for petrol engine cars. You can also have a manual tune with airbox modifications, ECU replacement or piggyback. From here we can look at adding a turbo, full exhaust system and anything required to make the car handle the road better. The next stage is to consider looking at the engine internals for larger power increases. We recently boosted a Honda Jazz to offer more power that the racing series at a cost of under 60,000 Baht.
For older cars and those who are looking for something completely different there is always the option to remove the engine and fit something that can offer more power and potential for increased tuning. This project will depend on your budget, the car you would like to use and the type of performance you would like to end up with. Last year we were involved in a project to restore a 1979 Toyota Crown. The standard engine was replaced with a Toyota Supra 3.0V6 lump, 2 large turbos, performance ECU, full exhaust system, 2wd auto gearbox and a quality cooling system. This classic car now pulls over 410Bhp. To keep it on the road both axles were replaced with those from a skyline along with the brake systems, a full suspension upgrade, steering upgrade and some better rubber. This car is very powerful but still keeps it’s classic styling, it is a general use car that has the potential to be hair raising but can still be used for the Tescos run. If you have any ideas of adding a bit more to what you already have then contact us and we can work out something to suit any budget.
