CH.04 · The Process

From call to
keys back.

Six stages from baseline to sign-off — most ECU tunes completed in a single day, complex builds 1–4 weeks. Dyno printouts, photos, and direct tuner contact throughout.

  1. Enquire

    Tell us your make, model, and goals — daily driver, track build, tow vehicle, or weekend tourer. We tune all petrol and diesel vehicles across Melbourne.

  2. Quote

    Receive an itemised quote covering parts, labour, and your chosen tune stage — Stage 1, 2, or 3 ECU remap. No work begins until you sign off.

  3. Baseline Dyno

    We run a stock baseline pull on the Mainline hub dyno to log your standard kW, Nm, and AFR figures before any calibration begins.

  4. ECU Calibrate

    Custom ECU remap or aftermarket ECU calibration live on the dyno. Fuel maps, ignition timing, boost targets, and knock protection all optimised.

  5. TCU Tune

    Transmission control unit (TCU) calibrated to match the new power output — shift points, torque limiters, and throttle response all refined.

  6. Sign-off

    Final power run confirms your kW and Nm gains. Road test validates real-world drivability. You leave with a printed dyno sheet and full documentation.

What drivers say.

Actual quotes from actual customers. Trusted by drivers across Victoria for fast, expert & reliable service.

I would like to highly recommend this tuner to anyone seeking a trustworthy and reliable professional. I brought my Supra Mk5 to Anton last month for a Stage 2 tune and later encountered a software issue where BM3 was unable to log. Anton took the time to contact BM3 directly and worked with them to find an effective solution. He handled everything with great responsibility and did not charge me any additional fees. I am truly grateful for his support. Thank you very much, Anton.

Anton has been fantastic to deal with. He has tuned a few of my cars over the past years. He explained things in detail and very prompt with his services. He has a very good understanding and quite Knowledgeable in his field of work. Anton has gone above and beyond as always to make sure customers satisfaction was his goal. I am very happy with my custom tune. Would highly recommend anyone looking to get a custom tune or performance upgrades done. Thanks again Anton.

Thanks Anton and the guys for transforming the drivability of my notchtop swapped 180. It's a night and day comparison and getting better fuel economy even when making more power, which is great because i daily it. I'll definitely be back for future upgrades, couldn't recommend a more helpful and polite tuner.

Extremely happy with my tune from Anton on my R34 GTT. Have had multiple tunes from Anton now and wouldn't go anywhere else. Great care is taken in all aspects of the tuning which some tuners tend to neglect such as cold start and drivability. Highly recommend Anton!

I'm going to start with a Big Thank You to Anton, 3 years i had an extensive engine rebuild done on my BMW E92 M3, that included the fitment of a reputable Supercharger. From the time the engine was on the Dyno for the very first time it never really produced the power we expected due to poor tuning. Several Dyno tunes later we still had not achieved what i would call respectable. Until i met Anton through googling someone local that had great reviews. Anton listened to what i had to say and what i wanted to achieve, Anton made a recommendation on the ECU and other items that he would use for my BMW to sort the issue out. Anton took care of purchasing all the items that were required to tune and make it drive how it should. Now the vehicle drives and behaves absolutely brilliant, The power output he has achieved is just incredible. Thanks again Anton, i will be recommending you to all my friends.

Taken my 2017 BMW M140i here twice and have been extremely happy with the level of professionalism and care taken. First visit was for a new HPFP and spark plug install and the second for a routine service both completed with professional care and diligence that a lot of garages have lost. Anton was always happy to answer questions and quote me fair prices even over the weekend which i appreciate for someone who is constantly busy Mon - Fri. Thanks to all the hard working people here for providing the care that people want for their vehicles, high performance or not.

Anton did a fantastic job at tuning my 86, was able to pass emissions with flying colours. Is an absolute wizard at tuning, was able to pull so much more torque out of the car, even after it had been custom tuned by a very reputable supercharger company in Melbourne. Highly recommended.

Anton has tuned both my turbo LS1 VU SS and my big single turbo Supra. He was able to work to my goals and steer me in the right direction when I went off track, and the cars had great drivability and all the power I could want. Would absolutely recommend.

After 1 year of remote tuning from USA, My BMW M3 Supercharged has never ran right, until I met Anton and guided me through what exactly is needed before start tuning. He through in a Syvecs ECU, upgraded fuel pump and injectors & E85 fuel. And all I have to say is : Absolutely game changer! I was so close selling the car but now im well over the moon. Thank you 😊 🙏 I highly recommend 👌🏼

Have been taking my cars to Anton for the past 4 years. In that period of time I've had three cars tuned by Anton. All those times the process and services provided have been excellent. Anton is very knowledgeable and provides in depth explanations and background on the tunes/services he will do or has done to your vehicle. In the past I've taken my vehicles to other tune shops, not the best experiences unfortunately. Tunes were rough, overall cars performance was very poor. Anton has earned my customer loyalty for life, he is the only tuner I trust my cars with. I recommend all my family and friends to Anton. He provides a unique and excellent customer service experience.

Anton provided me with an amazing service when tuning my 330d, he produced excellent results and stayed in touch with me to keep me in the loop of where he was at and was able to make suggestions as to how I could maximise the cars potential.

Anton recently tuned my BMW e83 X3 with m57 engine. I wasn't looking for any crazy power as this is my daily but just a tune to get the benefit of some bolt on modifications. The car feels great, little bit of extra torque and smoother crusing around. Couldn't be happier with the service.

I highly recommend Anton, the Dyno and remap he done on my brothers Amarok has transformed a relatively quick ute into a rocket ship. With PWR intercooler, big 63.1mm impeller on the K04 and heaps of other goodies too many to mention the 2.0 TDi auto should of gone a lot better from the previous tuner, but he was unable to impress me. Anton has tuned my car, put a huge smile on my dial and all within safe perimeters. Not to mention, Anton is an approachable, friendly bloke. Don't listen to neg comments! Update; I'm amazed at Anton's ability at calmly saying, don't worry, I believe I can sort this problem out and have you going in no time. Problem I was having was fitting later model turbo set-up on my 2011 Amarok 6sp manual with bigger impeller on K04, similar to my brothers set-up above, it was surging at 3,000rpm, previous tuner said it was beyond their scope! Anton not only got rid of surging, he made it a pleasure to drive with heaps of power for towing or overtaking up hills, very impressed with your work Anton. My brother and I chose Anton out of at least 50 other tuners in Victoria based on reviews and phone calls.

Spending endless hours that turned into weeks trying to tune my BMW with a world known BMW tuner from USA. While doing multiple street logs with a car that just wasn't performing and possibly even hurting. I was pointed in Anton's direction. He accepted my car after, after hours on the back of a tow truck with only couple hours prior notice that my car was on its way. Not even 12 hours had passed, I receive a call from Anton... "Nothing wrong with your car, it's making great power and it's ready to be picked up" Can't rate Anton and the work he does highly enough!! Thanks again Anton 👊

What can I say. Anton has tuned my car several times. Each time has been a no rush service ensuring that all aspects of the vehicle are always looked over and that the car is always running right. No short cuts are ever taken with Anton. Genuine honest guy that knows what he is doing and works/ tunes your vehicle like it is his own. Not only will Anton assist but has always been a phone call away when I had dramas or problems. Never have I had to worry when my car has been in his hands. Once again thank you for your assistance and guidance and anyone wanting a tune or advice and assistance with car performance I highly recommend. If I could give you 10 stars I would.

Highly recommend, went in for a supercharged flex fuel e85/98 tune, Anton put a incredible amount of effort working on the finer details of the tune, kept us informed on its progress, totally transformed the car. Last "big name" tuner we saw before Anton left us with a car running ridiculously rich with the worst cold start we had seen, Anton took care of it all producing far more power, smoother and safer with no more cold start issues. The results on other cars is what made me go there, was not disappointed and will take our other cars there from now on.

Anton (and Henry) are true magicians! Professional beyond anyone else I have dealt with in the industry and genuinely care about the work they do and the cars that are in their care. After a drawn out build from another party, Anton was not only quick, but extremely thorough making sure I got a reliable, usable car back. Cannot recommend highly enough :)

As a mechanic of 13 years, I was blown away when I first met Anton in December with my Honda Civic Dtis. Right from the first phone call I made, Anton made me feel welcome and told me to bring my car down that day to see if he could tune the car. Meeting Anton in person was just a nice as dealing with him on the phone, we created a plan for my car as every component on my car has been custom. Today I drove my car to Anton's workshop to have it tuned. Once again his professionalism and sound interpersonal skills blew me away. He contacted me throughout the whole process, and upon taking my car for its first drive after being tuned, I was absolutely mind blown. I then returned to the workshop where Anton explained to me thoroughly about the break down of the dyno graph. This guy really knows his stuff and he is a true professional in the industry. I highly recommend Anton to anyone wanting a true professional working on their pride and joy. I look forward to dealing with him again in 6 months time

Sent my supra here to get a tune and Anton went above and beyond to make sure everything was done properly. I have him a quite labour intensive job of redoing my entire engine loom to accomidate for a new haltech ecu as well as fixing a few ongoing issues the car has had. I am happy to say the results speak for themselves. Highly reccomended

My Husband got his manual BT-50 tuned by Anton. What a difference it is to drive, great service and top bloke. Gained over 100nm of torque, boost comes on early and nice and strong, found a new love for the Ute now and it's an extremely fun daily to drive to work and around town. The car it's self had a few hiccups before it came to him, fault codes, limp mode and running very sluggish, but Anton was happy and eager to work through it all with us and was happy to road test the vehicle for us and was determined to get it right, and right it is now and much much more. Couldn't be happier!! Well worth it.

Have had a few cars tuned by Anton now, the first one was over 3 years ago, still running strong, this thing spins to 9000rpm under boost for years now on a daily basis with no issues, few tuners can provide this sort of reliability in a tune. The amount of time and effort put into the tune was incredible, he insists a car does not leave until he is totally satisfied that the tune is spot on to his satisfaction. Second car also tuned there, another great result, possibly more power than what we expected as the result, again, the attention to detail focusing not just on power but also the response and off throttle drive ability, very happy with that tune. Very easy to communicate with, listens to what I'm expecting as a customer and providing me with results and feedback on the tune.

CH.08 · FAQ

Questions,
answered.

The stuff everyone asks about tuning. If yours isn't here, call the workshop.

An ECU tune, or remapping, is when your vehicle's ECU software is modified to optimise airflow, fuel injection, ignition timing and sensors. The result: more torque, more power, improved response and often better fuel economy. Factory settings are conservative — a tune tailors the car to how you actually drive it.
