Professional servicing, diagnostics and repairs by experienced BrakeTech technicians in Oakleigh.
At BrakeTech, we help you unlock the full potential of your 4WD with performance upgrades engineered for reliability, whether you’re towing, touring, or tackling the toughest terrain.
Engine Tuning & ECU Remapping
Modern turbo-diesel 4WDs have significant untapped potential. Our safe and reliable ECU remapping services optimize fuel delivery, injection timing, and boost pressure to safely increase horsepower and torque—perfect for towing heavy caravans or tackling steep inclines without straining your engine.
Performance Exhaust Systems
We supply and install premium aftermarket exhaust systems, such as 3-inch mandrel-bent stainless steel exhausts. These allow your engine to breathe easier, significantly reducing exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), improving overall efficiency, and providing a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note.
High-Flow Intakes & Snorkels
Clean, cool air is essential for maximum power and engine longevity. We install high-flow air filters, upgraded intercoolers, and sealed snorkels to ensure your engine receives the coolest, cleanest air possible, even in dusty outback conditions or during deep water crossings.
Heavy-Duty Clutch & Transmission Coolers
More power means more strain on your driveline. When upgrading engine performance, we highly recommend upgrading to a heavy-duty clutch or installing a transmission cooler. This ensures your vehicle can reliably put the extra power to the ground without slipping or overheating the gearbox.
