FAQS

79 Series tuning FAQs

 

How much power does a 79 Series tune add?

It depends on the year, condition and parts fitted. On our dyno, a stock 79 made 146.5 hp and 332 Nm at the wheels. With our Touring tune on the standard turbo it made 229.5 hp and 723 Nm. Every 79 we tune gets its own before and after dyno sheet.

 

Do you tune DPF 79 Series?

Yes. We tune the pre-DPF V8s (2007–2016) and the later DPF models. On DPF vehicles the tune is set up around the factory emissions system. Pick your model in the build sheet so we quote the right parts.

 

What parts do I need for 300 hp or 400 hp?

Our 300 hp package uses a G-Turbo G333 turbo, rail blank, custom tune and an NPC clutch. 400 hp needs the G400 turbo, an intercooler (front mount or high-flow top mount) and +100 injectors together. The build sheet shows what each package includes.

 

Is a tuned 79 good for towing?

Yes, towing is one of the main reasons 79 owners come to us. Put your towing weight in the build sheet and we'll set the tune and parts up around how you use your 79.

 

How long does it take?

It depends on the tune and any parts being fitted. We'll confirm timing when you book in.

 

What does it cost?

Every 79 is different, so we don't list prices online. Send your build sheet and we'll come back with a written quote, or call us on (02) 5854 9001.
