Tuning Options
Stage 1 and Stage 2 Engine Tuning Options
Tuning is not one size fits all. The right option depends on your engine, gearbox, kilometres and how you use the car. Below are our two tuning stages and what we look at before recommending either one. Your quote confirms exactly what is included for your car.
Stage 1 tune from $1,000
A Stage 1 tune typically recalibrates the engine software on standard hardware, improving power, torque and response for everyday driving.
Stage 2 tune from $1,500
A Stage 2 tune typically builds on Stage 1 with a calibration designed for supporting hardware upgrades, such as intake or exhaust parts.
Pre-tune engine health check
Tuning adds load to the engine, so existing faults and worn parts should be fixed first. We recommend a scan and inspection before any tune.
Engine tuning advice for your car
Not every engine or gearbox suits every stage. Tell us your make, model, engine and kilometres, and we will advise what is realistic for it.
Drivetrain checks before tuning
More power puts more load on the clutch, gearbox, brakes and cooling system. We look at whether these are up to it before you go ahead.
Tuning, warranty and insurance
Tuning can affect your new car warranty and should be declared to your insurer. We explain what to consider before you decide to go ahead.

Before You Tune
Is Engine Tuning Right for Your Car?
A good tune starts with a healthy, well-serviced car and a clear idea of what you want from it. If your car is due, book a minor service first. Before you book, consider the points below, and if you are unsure about any of them, call us to talk it through.
Healthy engine before tuning
The engine should be well serviced and free of faults or warning lights. Tuning a car with existing problems can make them worse, not better.
Clear performance tuning goals
Better overtaking, stronger towing or sharper response all suit different setups. Telling us how you drive helps us recommend the right stage.
Warranty and insurance checked
Check how tuning affects your new car warranty and tell your insurer about the change. We can explain what is involved before you decide.

Stage 1 vs Stage 2 Tuning
Stage 1 tuning (from $1,000) is typically a software recalibration on a standard car. It suits drivers who want noticeably better response and drivability without changing any hardware.
Stage 2 tuning (from $1,500) typically builds on Stage 1 with a calibration designed for supporting hardware upgrades, such as intake or exhaust components. It suits drivers who want more performance and are prepared for the extra changes involved.
Whichever stage you choose, the car should be in good mechanical health first. We recommend a service and inspection beforehand, and we can fix any faults we find before tuning.
Prices start from the amounts shown and depend on your make, model and engine. We confirm the exact price and what is included in a written quote before any work starts.
Whether you choose Stage 1 or Stage 2, performance and engine tuning in Newcastle should start with a healthy European engine and honest advice, which is exactly how we approach every tune.

How much does engine tuning cost?
Stage 1 tuning starts from $1,000 and Stage 2 tuning starts from $1,500. The final price depends on your make, model and engine, and we confirm it in a written quote before any work starts.
What is the difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2?
Stage 1 is typically a software recalibration on a standard car. Stage 2 typically builds on that with a calibration designed for supporting hardware upgrades, such as intake or exhaust parts.
Is my car suitable for tuning?
Many European engines, particularly turbocharged ones, respond well to tuning, but it depends on the engine, gearbox and condition of the car. Send us your make, model, engine and kilometres and we will advise.
Will tuning affect my new car warranty?
It can. Manufacturers may decline warranty claims on components affected by tuning. If your car is under warranty, check with the manufacturer first, and we can talk you through what to consider.
Do I need to tell my insurer about engine tuning?
Yes. Performance modifications, including engine tuning, should be declared to your insurer. Not declaring them can affect a claim.
Should my car be serviced before tuning?
We recommend it. Tuning adds load to the engine, so it should be well serviced and free of faults before any tune. We can carry out a service, and our engine repairs team can fix any issues first.
How long does engine tuning take?
It depends on the stage and your car. We confirm the expected time when you book, and let you know straight away if anything changes.
