4X4 / SUV

101 – THE BASICS

The late model Common Rail diesel (CRD) market in Australia is the new “boom” market. With every enthusiast and their dog jumping into this space, it’s easy to see why. However, one must tread carefully, as the surge in popularity has attracted a lot of “cowboys” and so called “diesel tuners”.

At ECC, we prioritize quality over quantity. Due to industry capacity and price points where new workshops are in a race to the bottom, in this space we generally only work with existing clients or those referred by them. While we offer a multitude of packages and modifications, each is handled on a case-by-case basis due to availability and fit.

At ECC, we focus exclusively on later model electronic injection and Common Rail diesel vehicles in the 4×4 / SUV space. We do not work on older mechanical pump diesel vehicles. If you’re looking for the fastest, loudest, or most heavily modified dual cab on the market, or the place offering the “cheapest diesel tune”, ECC will not be the shop for you. There are plenty of other places specializing in extreme modifications, and we would be happy to refer you to the right people based on your needs.

Our expertise lies in engineering and enhancing vehicles to be better versions of themselves, not something they were never meant to be. Our approach to late model 4×4 / SUV and CRD upgrades is straightforward: reliable and outstanding results with minimal risk, and a 10/10 customer service experience.

Like all our other platforms, we buy and test on our own vehicles, and have developed tried and tested suspension, electrical, accessory, protection, and upgrade modifications that we support with brands and vendors we trust to deliver. If you’re looking to do something super crazy and wild, we will gladly discuss your needs and refer you to specialists who excel in that area. We work closely with other shops that specialize in extreme modifications. IF you’re looking for the “cheapest” suspension kit or bull bar upgrade, unfortunately ECC is not going to be the right fit.

If you are looking for a shop that provides amazing results and upgrades with an exceptional experience, team ECC can help. Whether your looking to elevate your 4×4 / SUV experience with better towing performance, throttle response, improved fuel economy, transmission shifting, reliability & maintenance, on-street and off-road performance, or accessories to tailor your truck to your needs, we would be happy to help.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN MODIFYING THIS PLATFORM

Whilst it seems to be a bit of an industry standard, to look at modification paths for a car based on bundles of modification, commonly referred to as “stages”. We have found at ECC that this isn’t always the case, with all builds being different in their own right, and comparing “stages” is generally not a great like for like comparison when there is no regulation between what a workshop will include in said stages.

For this reason, why have put together this basic modification and upgrade guide, which should walk you through the basics of what you need to know when modifying this platform. Specifically, the best ways to go about things and more importsntly, what NOT to do, toensure you dont make expensive or costly mistakes when commencing this journey.
