4×4 Tuning and Repairs in Warwick

Morgan Park Performance & Service Centre are Warwick’s go-to workshop for 4×4 enthusiasts and tradies looking to extract more power or fuel efficiency from their vehicle. Our choice of re-map or flash tuning software is made by Roo Systems, a proven industry-leader in 4×4 flash tuning and ECU re-mapping. We’ll assess your vehicles tune on a case-by-case basis, installing an engine re-map specifically designed for it to increase horsepower, torque and fuel efficiency. Please give us a call to organise an engine re-mapping on your turbo-diesel 4×4 vehicle.

Roo Systems ECU Re-Mapping:

For increased performance and fuel efficiency gains on your diesel four-wheel-drive, we offer flash tuning / ECU re-mapping on most major 4×4 makes and models. We’ve noticed a significant increase in both torque, power and fuel efficiency on all the diesel 4×4 vehicles we’ve performed our engine re-mapping on.

Common 4×4 vehicles we perform re-maps on include:

Isuzu D-Max
Holden Colorado
Ford Ranger
Toyota Landcruiser
Toyota Hilux

Whilst we can perform ECU re-maps on petrol engines, larger gains are much more prevalent in diesel-equipped vehicles.

Fuel Efficiency on Work Vehicles:

Whilst ECU re-maps are commonly associated with higher power, fuel efficiency increases can be gained by having your ECU re-mapped. Due to the fact many of the turbo-diesel utility vehicles sold in Australia are also sold in countries with vastly different climates, a base-line tune from the factory can often be restrictive, as it’s intended to last in a range of altitudes and temperatures.

By having your ECU re-mapped to suit Australian conditions, you can have your engine re-map made to consume less fuel, which can be an absolute life-saver for mobile businesses that travel hundreds of kilometres per day.

Other 4×4 Modifications:

Typically, we suggest installing a new, less-restrictive exhaust, which can be manufactured and installed in-house to complement the gains produced by the re-map. Sometimes, on vehicles with restrictive stock ECU mapping that receive large gains from the re-map, a heavy-duty clutch replacement will be necessary to handle the additional torque without burning out. We notice this is especially necessary in 100 and early 200-series Toyota Landcruisers.

Other modifications that can benefit your ECU re-map include upgrading to a larger intercooler. We can install custom front and top-mounted intercoolers to suit your vehicle. Having a larger intercooler on your turbo-charged 4×4 allows for greater airflow, which means more fuel can be burned, and thus, greater power can be generated.

Safety Roll-Cage Installation for Race Cars

Morgan Park Performance & Service Centre design and install safety cages, roll cages and other safety equipment to race vehicles in the Warwick area. All our safety mechanisms for race vehicles are designed to be reliable and comply with current CAMS regulations. We’ll listen to your needs and design a functional safety roll cage system with accompanying seats and harnesses, designed to suit the individual driver, protecting them from injury in serious race collisions.

CAMS-Approved Safety Cages:

You’ll get the choice of a full or half safety cage when you opt for us to install your race vehicle. Your choice will ultimately depend on requirements for your category or local racetrack, budgeting requirements, desired torsional strength and street legality. All our cages are:

CAMS-Approved
Made of Cold Drawn Steel
Custom-made to suit your vehicle

Similarly, you’ll get the choice of a welded-in or bolted-in cage, with the former offering more torsional strength at the cost of making your car more-or-less permanently illegal for road use. Please note that we do not manufacture chromoly safety cages.

Having a full (sometimes known as six or eight-point) roll cage will greatly improve the safety of your vehicle, and when welded-in, will significantly improve the torsional strength of your vehicle to shave tenths off your lap. The disadvantage to this is that six-point cages are illegal for road use, they cost the most, and if welded-in, are irremovable.

Half-cages on the other hand, allow you to fit seat harnesses (which are required by CAMS) just like a full cage, and come with some element of roll-over protection, albeit not as much as a full safety cage offers. Half cages are also much cheaper than full safety cages, making bolt-in safety cages a viable option for recreational racers that want a street-driven track car.

Bucket Seat Installation:

If you need a bucket or racing seat to be installed into your vehicle alongside your new roll cage, we’re more than happy to replace your existing seats with high quality seats of your choice, using CAMS-approved installation methods, including attaching harnesses from your seat to your roll cage. If the seat you opt for is not adjustable, we recommend that the main driver of the car comes around to our workshop for a personalised fit to ensure they remain as comfortable and safe as possible while sitting in the car for extended periods of time.

Safety Roll Cages

Race Car Preparation Services in Morgan Park

Morgan Park Performance & Service Centre offers comprehensive race car preparation services to ensure your vehicle corners, brakes and accelerates properly on race day. There’s nothing worse than having a great driver paired with a fast car, only to be hampered by poorly setup suspension and brakes – we seek to extract the most potential out of your car by performing a comprehensive check prior to race day. Our team are seasoned professionals and are regularly called on by teams racing at Morgan Park to improve their lap times through general checks, as well as thorough suspension setups. Please give us a call to see what we can do for you.

Our race car preparation services include:

Scaling for minimum weight requirements
Fluid replacement and filter check
Brake checks and suspension adjustment
Tyre fitting and alignment
Performing repairs where necessary

You might find that on race weekends at Morgan Park Raceway, our mechanics are in pit lane before an event. We carry a mobile workshop on the back of our tracks and perform mobile preparations for teams on race day as well as our more extensive in-workshop preparations. Please give us a call to enquire about what we can do for you.

Scaling:

We don’t need to stress the importance of ensuring your vehicle meets weight requirements before an event. We can perform scaling of your vehicle, be it with the driver inside, dry-weight, or weight with fluids. If necessary and the time available permits it, we can organise ballasting for your vehicle.

Suspension Adjustment and Fine-Tuning:

If you’re arriving into town shortly before a scheduled race-meeting, it can pay to have your suspension fine-tuned to suit the Morgan Park Raceway circuit. We can consult with your driver on-track prior to the event day, fine-tuning the suspension as they complete test-runs to minimise your times.

Race Car Repairs:

Had a big day out at the track and need some quick repairs done for an upcoming event? We can do quick mechanical repairs to get your vehicle back on the track to allow for some championship points to be earned. We’re only 3km from Morgan Park Raceway and can quickly attend to your vehicle to get it back in shape. Give us a call if disaster strikes and you need a quick repair done on your pride and joy.

Race Car Building and Restoration Services

Morgan Park Performance & Service Centre specialise in race car building and restoration services in Warwick. We had been working on performance vehicles for over a decade as mobile mechanics in the Brisbane area before establishing our Morgan Park Performance & Service Centre in 2006, and in that time, we’ve had the pleasure of working on numerous local and national-level team vehicles. Our level of service is unrivalled, and our reputation for knowing how to build a quality race car is well deserved. Please give us a call on (07) 4661 9997 to discuss working together.

Our race car building services can be as comprehensive or as minimalistic as you like. Anything pertaining to your car accelerating, braking and cornering is done in-house by a team of expert race-car building professionals. We comply with current CAMS regulations for the series you intend to race in, ensuring your car passes scrutineering.

Common race car building services we perform include:

Rust and chassis repair
Weight Removal and Ballasting
Seam-welding and strengthening
Brake installs and upgrades
Suspension installs and upgrades
Drivetrain modifications
Safety Device (Safety cage, Harness and Seating) Installation

We can even go so far as to sourcing an eligible chassis if you’re having trouble finding the model you desire.

Drivetrain:

We’re capable of sourcing and rebuilding replacement drivetrain components for your vehicle. Be it a specific engine / transmission combination you have in mind, or a power and torque target, we’ll find a solution that suits your requirements.

We can perform:

Turbo / Supercharger Installations
Cam / Stroke / Bore Modifcations
Engine Conversions
Aftermarket ECU Installs
Transmission conversions
Custom exhausts, including systems to abide by track noise limitations when necessary

Sometimes, we’ll make recommendations based on series requirements to ensure your vehicle will pass scrutineering. For example, in the Improved Production series, CAMS require that a replacement engine is to be made by the original manufacturer of your vehicle. In such cases, we’ll advise you on your best options in terms of cost and performance to abide by the limitations.

Suspension and Braking:

Common suspension and braking upgrades we do include:

Adjustable coil-over installs
Brake upgrades
Drum to disc conversions
Sway-bar upgrades and strut-bracing

In addition to installing any brand of suspension and braking hardware preferred by the customer, we can fine-tune the setup if they intend to be racing it on our local track, Morgan Park Raceway.

Race Car Safety:

It’s important to have adequate safety measures in place to prevent you from injury during a high-risk environment such as the race track. We install high quality bucket seats, harnesses and roll-cages to allow drivers to walk away in the event of a serious crash. If you’d like to learn more about what safety roll cage is good for your vehicle, visit our page on safety roll cages.

All the safety components we install in your vehicle are intended to abide by CAMS rules, unless otherwise specified.

Chassis:

Ensuring your car has adequate torsional strength is important on a race track. We can perform rust-repair, chassis-strengthening and seam-welding to bring your vehicle back up to scratch and allow for better cornering ability. After your chassis is in tip-top working order, we can either add or remove weight to ensure you meet, but don’t greatly exceed, the weight requirements for your racing class.

Transmission and Diff Rebuilds, Repairs and Replacements

Morgan Park Performance & Service Centre perform expert rebuilds and replacement installation of faulty transmissions and differentials in the Warwick area. Our team of professionals can quickly identify faults in your transmission and differential causing performance and comfort problems, repairing them as necessary to an as-new state. Please give us a call if you’d like us to upgrade your differential, or inspect faults in your transmission or differential.

How Do I know If My Diff Needs Repair?

If you notice a high-pitched whine when your car accelerates, or a low-pitch vibration coming from where your car puts down power (front or rear wheels, depending on the car), this is typically a sign that your differential either needs new oil or needs repairs.

Transmission Rebuilds and Replacements:

The choice between installing a second-hand replacement transmission or differential and rebuilding your current one is typically decided on by cost, which will vary from case to case, depending on parts availability and the extent of the damage to your transmission. Our rebuilds are performed with precision and utilise high quality replacement parts to ensure your vehicle runs just as smoothly as it did when it rolled off the showroom floor. Please take note that we do not rebuild automatic transmissions.

Alternatively, we can install a new or reconditioned transmission from the wreckers into your vehicle should your existing transmission fail. We take extra care when installing replacement transmissions to ensure they are mounted and connected exactly the way the manufacturer intended.

For customers wanting to convert their transmission, we can also perform manual transmission conversions. Along with your replacement transmission, this typically requires a new ECU, pedal box, crossmember or tail shaft among other things.

Differential Replacements:

We offer a range of aftermarket and second-hand replacement differentials for every day, performance and 4×4 applications, including:

Locking diffs
Spooled diffs
Limited Slip Differentials (LSD)

Differential Rebuilds:

We perform in-house rebuilds of differentials to bring them back to life. We can use a stock gear ratio, or if aftermarket gear sets are available, we can upgrade to a lower or higher gear ratio for increased fuel efficiency or performance. Higher ratio differential gears result in greater acceleration at the cost of fuel efficiency, and lower ratios do the opposite.

Transmission and Diff Services

Engine Rebuild and Replacement Mechanic in Warwick

Morgan Park Performance & Service Centre are an experienced team of mechanics specialising in engine rebuild and replacement services in our Warwick workshop. As established mechanics of over 20 years, we’re regularly called on by Warwick locals to diagnose and repair faulty engines. Having an engine fail on your car is always stressful, and our team of trusted mechanics will recommend the most financially viable solution for you to get you back on the road. If you’ve noticed odd noises or vibrations coming from your engine, don’t hesitate to call us and bring your vehicle in for an extensive analysis.

How Do I Know If My Engine Needs to be Rebuilt?

Sometimes it can be hard to tell if your engine requires an overhaul or replacement, so if you notice something funny happening with the way your car drives, please send it in to us as soon as you can. Typically, unless the customer requests a rebuild or replacement engine specifically, we’ll perform a road test and compression test of your engine if possible. Having an engine fail on your car can be truly devastating, and if after inspection we find that your engine has suffered catastrophic failure, we’ll advise you of your options.

We perform:

Engine Rebuilds
Rotary Rebuilds
Performance Rebuilds
Replacement Engine Installation.

Engine Rebuild vs Second-hand Engine:

Typically, on a car newer than 25 years old that still has parts availability, opting for a second-hand engine is cheaper than going for a rebuild. We tend to perform rebuilds on older cars that want to retain their original engine to remain valuable, or vehicles that have scarce parts availability. One of the upsides to having an engine rebuild is that you have a better idea of the condition of the engine compared to a second-hand one of unknown mileage and service history.

It’s best to have your second-hand engine serviced (filter, oil and belts if necessary) before putting it into your vehicle, as it’s easier to perform a service when the entire engine is exposed. If you opt for a second-hand engine, we can perform the replacement and engine servicing in our Warwick workshop. We’ll make sure that the car’s electronics are calibrated to suit the new engine perfectly.

Performance Engine Rebuilds:

Sometimes customers going to the effort of rebuilding an engine rather than opting for a second-hand engine do so because they want to extract more power or reliability out of their engine. We can install aftermarket head gaskets, pistons, rings, crankshafts and rods when rebuilding your engine, even opting for more durable forged varieties used in high-boost turbo applications.

Rotary Engines:

The sound of a rotary engine is a beautiful thing, and we’ve worked to preserve numerous old-school rotary engines over the years. We’re well experienced in re-building rotary engines and are regularly called on by rotary motorsport enthusiasts in the area for repairs and maintenance of their engines. Beyond replacement of things like apex seals, we can do common rotary engine modifications while rebuilding, such as porting, for those seeking extra power.

Diagnostic Repairs and Servicing in Warwick

Morgan Park Performance & Service Centre provide diagnostic repairs and servicing in Warwick. Our team will accurately diagnose and correct any problems causing you hassle, and have you back on the road as soon as possible. We cater to all budgets and offer a diverse range of different parts and options to suit everyone. Please give us a call for an accurate diagnosis of any faults occurring in your car.

Our range of fault-finding diagnosis service is comprehensive, and common problems we diagnose and repair include:

Suspension and Brakes
Engine Faults
Excessive Fuel Consumption
Over-heating
Check engine codes
Electronic Problems
Interior rattles

We do electric and manual fault-finding diagnosis, including manual fault-finding of interior rattles, suspension, brakes and mechanical problems on cars not equipped with sensors. On newer cars equipped with sensors, we perform electronic diagnosis on mechanical components via our data scanner. Whatever the problem, you can be rest assured our team of trusted mechanics diagnose and repair it.

Manual Diagnosis:

We do both manual and electric vehicle diagnostics at our workshop. What this means is that if you’ve got a rattling noise in your car, we’ll take it for a test drive to narrow down the problem and if possible, try and re-create it in our workshop to find the cause of the rattling or vibration before fixing it.

Are you experiencing any of the following?

Rattling
Vibration
Squealing / Whining
Uncomfortable ride

Electronic Diagnosis:

Electronic diagnosis is typically required for electrical problems or errors / check engine lights being displayed on your dashboard instrument cluster. This is done by plugging in a scanning tool to find the source of the problem. If you’ve got a newer car that allows for data reading equipment to be plugged in, electronic diagnosis can make finding mechanical problems much more hassle-free.

Common faults we can find and correct via electronic diagnosis include:

Electronics Not Working Correctly
Rough Idles
Trouble Starting Engine
Poor fuel economy

Of course, if you’ve got an older car that requires manual diagnosis of the mechanical components, we can do this as well, it may just take extra time.

Tyres and Wheel Alignment Services in Warwick

Morgan Park Performance & Service Centre perform wheel alignment and tyre installation for cars, SUVs and 4x4s in the Warwick area. Having new tyres is vital to keeping you and other road users safe, and our team of qualified mechanics can recommend the best tyre to suit your needs and budget, performing quick installation so you can be on your way again! Our state of the art wheel alignment equipment ensures an accurate fit every time, keeping you and your family safe on the road. Please give us a call to arrange a tyre installation and alignment.

What Tyres Do You Install?

We offer Comfort, Eco, 4×4, SUV and Performance tyres all under the one roof to suit any wheel size. If you’re unsure of what tyre would be best suited to your car and typical driving routine, don’t hesitate to ask one of our friendly, qualified mechanics as to what they recommend.

Brands we keep in stock include:

Hoosier
Nitto
Federal
Maxtrek
Achilles
Nexen

We do, however, realise that many of our performance and 4WD customers do have preferred tyre brands, and we can order in any specific tyre brand and size you require.

Do I Need New Tyres?

It is illegal in Queensland to drive on tyres with less than 1.5mm of tread on them, however, it’s generally recommended to consider changing your tyres once there is 3mm left of tread on them. Having less than 3mm of tread will gradually increase your stopping distances, and the lack of grip can prove dire in emergency situations.

Whilst we check tyres on each service we perform, if you’re unsure of how much life your tyres have left in them, there’s an easy way to check. Simply get out a 20c coin, and put it the gap between your tyre tread. If the tread doesn’t reach the bill of the platypus, there is less than 3mm left, and it’s time to look at changing your tyres.

Wheel Alignments:

We use electronic wheel alignment machines to ensure that your vehicle drives straight and doesn’t prematurely wear the tyres. Wheel alignments need to be performed with each change of tyres, but if you’ve hit a gutter or other object with your wheel and have noticed your car isn’t staying straight, we recommend bringing your car into our workshop immediately.
