Title: Amarok Tuning
Post by: Fox on February 10, 2018, 07:13:27 PM
Hey fellas,

I was just wondering if anyone on the forum does tuning for the Amarok.

I have a 2014 manual Amarok 132kw 4motion.

Cheers

Look up Superior Tuning on Facebook.  They tuned my T5 2.0TDI with Revo software and the results are outstanding.
Could not be happier with a 80% increase in power.

Sweet thanks for that!

I see that they are located in Wellington, is there still a a way to get this done as I'm in Auckland.

I you don't mind me asking how much does it roughly cost. Cheers!

Not sure what their Amarok numbers are but keep in mind the T5 is single turbo.
My T5 is 102hp stock, tune takes it up to 180 - 185hp.
Fuel economy hasn't changed but transformed the way it drives.

Ahh makes more sense. Amarok is already at 180hp factory. Think mine is now around 190-195 after a remap.

not remotely the same engine or gains. You should have seen a good increase in fuel efficiency also.

Fox - I have tuned many Amaroks including VASK members trucks also.
Let me know, happy to discuss and explain ins and outs.

It's all custom tuning also.

Did I say it was the same engine?   ::)
Fuel economy hasn't changed as i'm on it a lot more making use of all the extra power.

Really Errrrrrno? I know you're tight with Glidn and like to promote him where ever you can
but there's a lot of other great tuners out there and one of them is Superior tuning.
Sorry if you didn't like my post but that's life.

And its common knowledge that you've partnered up with Revo and started to promote their services through your business.
Your original comment about seeing 80% increase in power seems a little misleading, especially in this post where the car in question cant expect the same amount of gains as you're claiming yours did......
My comment may have been a little sarcastic but not without reason.....

Wrong again as usual, I have not partnered with Revo at all. I have nothing to do with them what so ever.
Superior Tuning mapped my van. end of story. (And to add again I'm 100% happy with their product and awesome service)
