Ford Ranger & Mazda BT-50 3.2L TDCi Diesel Tuning

Is the 3.2L Five-Cylinder TDCi Worth Tuning?
3.2L 5-Cylinder Turbo Diesel (TDCi)
Our 3.2L TDCi tuning program delivers real, measurable results — validated on our in-house dyno. The five-cylinder delivers strong, linear torque gains and is a proven engine that responds well to remapping.
We've become very familiar with where the limits lie before reliability is sacrificed. Whether your Ranger or BT-50 has a DPF or not, we know not to push them too far. Our calibrations prioritise long-term reliability over peak numbers.

What We Do for Your Ranger or BT-50
Proven modifications for the 3.2L five-cylinder platform.
ECU Remapping
The 3.2L five-cylinder delivers strong, linear torque gains. It's a proven engine that responds well to remapping, with improved mid-range performance that transforms everyday driveability and towing capability.
Intercooler Upgrades
The factory intercooler can become a bottleneck under sustained load. An upgraded unit keeps charge temperatures stable when towing or working hard in Australian heat.
Exhaust Systems
A 3" stainless exhaust reduces backpressure from the turbo system, improving spool response and supporting the tune for stronger, more consistent power delivery. Off-road DPF options available.
Catch Can Systems
The 3.2L engine produces blow-by that contaminates the intake over time. A quality catch can is one of the most important preventative maintenance items for Ranger and BT-50 owners.
Suspension & Lift
Ranger and BT-50 suspension setups for work, towing, or off-road adventures. We set your ute up to handle accessories, tray loads, and camper trailers without compromising driveability.
Accessory Installs
Bull bars, canopies, roof racks, dual battery, winches, and auxiliary lighting — we build complete Ranger and BT-50 work and touring vehicles ready for the job.
