Custom ECU tuning
Every tune is written for the vehicle in front of us on the rollers, not pulled off a shelf. The file gets built, loaded and proven on the dyno before the ute leaves the shed.

Dan's Dyno is a one man tuning shop on Neeld Street, West Wyalong. Custom ECU tuning, multi-map setups, towing tunes and diesel performance, all written and proven on a Dyno Dynamics chassis dyno before the vehicle goes home.

Four wheel drive diesels are the bulk of the work. Utes that tow, cruisers that tour, and the occasional one that has been tuned badly somewhere else and needs sorting out.

More than one tune loaded at once so the vehicle can change character on the fly. A quiet economy map for the run to town, a stronger map when there is a van on the back.
Set up for weight behind you. Torque where it is actually useful in the towing rev range, rather than a headline power figure that only shows up at the top of the tacho.
The bread and butter here. Four wheel drive utes and touring cruisers that need to pull hard, run cool and stay driveable on a long inland highway.
Codes read properly and chased to the actual cause. Recent jobs have included a MAF fault and a fuel delivery problem, both found and sorted the same day.
Diesel particulate filters that keep filling up and demanding a manual regen are usually telling you something about how the vehicle is running. Worth getting looked at before it gets expensive.
Not sure which of those you need? Ring Dan and describe what the vehicle is doing.
Every job gets a before run and an after run on the same dyno, on the same day, so what you are looking at is your vehicle and nobody else's. Below is a real sheet from the shed. Blue is the standard tune. Red is the same vehicle once Dan had finished with it.

That is one vehicle on one day. Yours will read differently, because every engine, every fuel, every set of mods and every ambient temperature is different. That is exactly why the run happens in front of you rather than being promised in advance.


A multi-map setup puts several tunes in the vehicle at once and lets you pick between them. Gentle when you are pottering about town or watching the fuel gauge on a long run, stronger when there is a van behind you and a hill in front of you. Here is a real four map file written in this shed for a 2024 Troopcarrier.
Four maps, one switch, same engine. Figures from the workshop dyno on a 2024 Toyota LandCruiser.

A vehicle loaded with gear, a van or boat on the back and three hundred kilometres of inland highway ahead of it is a very different thing to a dyno chart. Towing setups get their torque where you will genuinely use it, and the tune is written to keep temperatures sensible while it does the work.
That matters more than a big headline number, and it is the difference between a vehicle that feels quick on paper and one that is easier to live with on a trip.
A DPF that keeps filling up and asking for a manual regen is a symptom, not the whole story. So is a fault code that somebody has cleared three times. Codes get read properly here and chased back to the actual cause, because there is no point writing a tune on top of a problem.

Dan's Dyno is Dan, a Dyno Dynamics chassis dyno and a shed on Neeld Street. There is no service desk and no upsell script. You ring, you describe what the vehicle is doing, and the two of you work out whether there is a tune in it or whether something needs fixing first.
Word has travelled a good deal further than the Bland Shire. People have driven down from Toowoomba to get on these rollers, and one review on here is from someone whose Troopcarrier had been tuned badly in Adelaide and was on its way to wrecking the particulate filter before Dan pulled it apart mid trip.
Manta and Unichip gear lives on the workshop wall. The dyno does the arguing.

“Dan is an absolute legend. He genuinely saved our holiday and got us back on the road when things could’ve gone very wrong. Our Troopcarrier had been incorrectly tuned in Adelaide, which was on track to clog and destroy the DPF. Dan stepped in last minute, diagnosed the issue properly, fixed the MAF fault (P0101), and completely sorted the car.”
“He then installed us an incredible multi-map tune that he created that has absolutely woken the Cruiser up — it drives, tows and performs way better. From start to finish, Dan was effortless to deal with: knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely invested in getting the job done right.”
“So stoked with Dans tune of my N70 !! Huge HP and torque gain!! Very experienced and genuine bloke. Blasts through gears so effortlessly foot to floor it's great fun to drive, and so smooth on the highway.”
“Got my 79 series tuned here today and very happy with it! Excellent service and knowledge of his product!”
“Don't bother going anywhere else! This guy is seriously knowledgeable. Even interstate , I've been to many tuners, Dan hands down.., I couldn't recommend him enough. He will look after you”

A phone call is usually quickest, and it is the best way to work out whether the job is a tune, a diagnosis, or both. If it is easier to write it down, the form below opens an email straight to the shed.
