Reliable Mechanical Tuning Solutions

Mechanical diesel pump tuning is essential for optimising the performance of pre-common rail vehicles, particularly those with mechanical fuel injection systems from before 2006. While these classic systems are known for their reliability, fine-tuning can significantly boost power, efficiency, and overall engine health.

Through precise adjustments and upgrades, we can help you achieve smoother operation and improved performance, allowing your vehicle to run at its best and continue to deliver exceptional driving experiences.

Our Expert Mechanical Diesel Tuning Services

Take a closer look at what our service includes to meet your desired outcomes.

  • PRE-RUNS

    Before upgrades like turbo or pump installations, we offer pre-runs to assess your vehicle’s performance and set benchmarks. This step provides a clear picture before changes and is available upon request when booking (subject to availability).

    For dyno tuning, you'll receive a dyno sheet showing "as received" and "tuned" graphs to highlight improvements. Requesting pre-runs in advance helps us plan effectively and maximize your service.

  • MECHANICAL TUNING

    Our mechanical diesel pump tuning process involves fine-tuning the mechanical injector pumps and turbocharger systems, which significantly enhances both performance and efficiency. Our expert technicians carefully adjust these components to deliver optimal results for your pre-common rail vehicle.

  • UPGRADES

    Our mechanical tuning enhances performance and efficiency beyond injector pump adjustments. By installing a pneumatic boost tee on your turbocharger, we enable adjustable boost levels, working with a boost-compensated injector pump (standard or upgraded).

    This precise setup optimizes boost and fueling for peak performance, fuel economy, and drivability while minimizing costs. Our skilled technicians ensure your pre-common rail vehicle is tuned for maximum results without extra expense.
