Specialising in turbocharged and Japanese performance cars, Powertune Australia was established in 2005, setting up shop in the South Western Sydney suburb of Fairfield East, approximately 40 minutes from Sydney’s central business district and more importantly, 20 minutes from Eastern Creek, the home of Sydney Dragway and Eastern Creek International Raceway.
Aside from moving premises just one door up, the past six years have seen many hours of research and development, trial and error and dedication to discover what works best with performance engine combinations. Results that are reflected in our customers cars on the strip, circuit and street.
The staff at Powertune also share the passion of motorsport and look forward to track time just as much as you do and we have plenty of fun days lined up for the year.
