Tuning Services
What we tune for
Peak power is the easy part. We spend most of the session on everything else. Idle, cruise, part-throttle, cold starts, boost transitions.
ECU Calibration
Custom map written for your car. Fuel, timing, boost, cam timing, all dialled in on the rollers and finished on the road.
Flex Fuel Tuning
We set the ECU up to read ethanol content and adjust on the fly. Run E85, 98, or a mix. One tune handles it.
Power Runs
Before and after runs so you can see what your mods actually did. Numbers on paper, not guesswork.
Track Prep
Higher rev limits, launch control, flat-foot shifting. Set up for the track, not the street.
Fault Diagnosis
Put it under load on the rollers and find problems that don't show up on a road test.
Re-tunes
Added parts since your last session? We'll update the map to match the new hardware.
Our Dynos
The equipment
The Dynapack hub dyno bolts directly to your hubs. No tyre slip, repeatable numbers every time. The Dyno Innovations roller dyno handles everything else, including cars that don't suit the hub setup.
Both handle high-power cars and give us proper load control across the full rev range. We finish every tune on the road. The stuff you actually feel driving the car doesn't always show up on a screen.
ECU Tuning
ECU tuning across platforms
Factory ECU reflash, piggyback, or full standalone. Depends on the car and how far you're going. We'll tell you what makes sense for your build rather than pushing the most expensive option.
We work across most platforms. If your ECU is on the list below, we can tune it.

What our customers say
"I just had my 370 Nismo tuned at Revzone. After I chose to wait for some selected parts it is exactly what I asked for. I got it back & took it for drive & boy did it transform the car. It drives smoothly & quietly; I can have an uninterrupted conversation with my wife and lightly accelerate through the rev range with elegance to our favourite breakfast bar. Then on club track days the NA engine gives instant throttle response, the engine roars and gives an intense kick in the pants upon corner exits that requires some serious throttle modulation. This is serious acceleration. Az & Justin kept me informed as to what was going on & kept in touch after I picked it up to see how it was going. Its been a great experience and I thoroughly recommend Revzone."

370Z NISMO
"I came to RevZone with my 2017 STi after Subaru either couldn't fix my issue—or couldn't understand it. It was genuinely refreshing to deal with people who understood performance cars, not just dealer-level servicing, and didn't treat me like I'd just learned what a spark plug was. It took time, patience, and plenty of trial and error, but we eventually nailed the issue—much to my relief (and probably theirs). Over more than seven years, they kept my STi in top shape until I moved interstate. Even then, they went above and beyond—helping me find another trusted mechanic through their contacts and even providing a quote for a price comparison. If you want honest, capable, and car-obsessed people working on your pride and joy, RevZone is your place."

"The guys at RevZone were utterly fantastic, I had my car towed over in the middle of the night and by 9:30AM the following morning they were working on it. I cannot recommend the team highly enough. It's rare to deal with a mechanic that actually cares and isn't trying to rip you off."

FAQs
Common Questions
- How much does dyno tuning cost in Melbourne?
- Starts from $1,300. Price depends on the car, what's been done to it, and which ECU platform we're working with. Get in touch with your details and we'll give you a straight number.
- How long does a dyno tune take?
- We usually need the car for a full day, sometimes overnight. The dyno work is only part of it. We road tune as well to sort out cold starts, part-throttle response, and how the car actually drives day to day.
- Is dyno tuning worth it?
- If you've spent money on mods, a tune is what ties them together. Without one, you're leaving power on the table and potentially running the engine outside safe limits. Even a stock car picks up power and throttle response from a proper map.
- What cars can you dyno tune?
- Japanese and European performance cars. 86/GR86, BRZ, WRX/STI, 370Z, GT-R R35, Civic Type R, GR Yaris, plus BMW, Audi, VW, and more. We run a Dynapack hub dyno and a Dyno Innovations roller dyno, so 2WD and AWD are both covered.
- Do I need to book for dyno tuning?
- Yeah, book ahead so we can set aside the right amount of time. Give us a call or send through your details online.
- What dyno do you use?
- Two. A Dynapack hub dyno that bolts directly to your hubs (no tyre slip, repeatable numbers) and a Dyno Innovations roller dyno. Both handle high-power cars without issues.
- Do I need a standalone ECU?
- Depends how far you're going. Most factory ECUs can be reflashed or piggy-backed and that's enough for a lot of builds. Standalones like Link, Haltech, or MoTeC give us full control and make more sense once you're into serious hardware.
