Diesel tuning is one of the smartest upgrades for 4x4 owners chasing better torque, smoother towing and improved fuel economy. At Track N Back 4x4 in Mareeba, we specialise in tuning diesel and four-wheel-drive vehicles using dyno-tested, road-proven methods. We offer DPF solutions to keep your system clean and efficient, EGR recalibration to reduce engine soot build-up, and throttle controller setups for faster accelerator response without the lag. Every tune is tailored to your goals, whether you're touring, towing, or just want a better everyday drive.
We work with petrol and diesel engines across all major 4x4 brands and fine-tune everything in-house. You get more usable power without overworking your engine, and every tune is backed by real-world testing.

FAQ
What is a throttle controller and how does it work?
A throttle controller changes how quickly your engine responds when you press the accelerator. Modern vehicles use electronic signals to control throttle input, which can sometimes feel delayed or sluggish, especially in diesel 4WDs. A controller allows you to adjust how aggressive or smooth the throttle response is, making the vehicle feel sharper off the line or more controlled for towing. It does not add power but improves how the existing power is delivered, which can make a big difference in real-world driving.
Do I need to tune my diesel after installing new parts?
Yes, tuning is highly recommended after installing upgrades like exhausts, intercoolers or air intakes. Without a proper tune, your engine may not be running at its full potential, and the new parts might not deliver the gains you expected. In some cases, failing to tune after modifications can also create issues with fuel delivery or turbo boost control. A dyno tune ensures everything works together efficiently and gives you measurable improvements in performance, economy and driveability.
Can diesel tuning improve fuel economy?
Diesel tuning can improve fuel efficiency by optimising how your engine uses fuel under different loads and speeds. By adjusting air-fuel ratios, timing and boost levels, a tuner can reduce unnecessary fuel use while still giving you better performance. Results vary depending on your setup and driving habits, but many drivers report better fuel economy, especially when towing or cruising at highway speeds. It is one of the few upgrades that can improve both power and economy at the same time.
