Toyota GR Yaris Cooling

Posted by Iain Litchfield on 09/02/2023 in Dyno Tuning, Engine, Fabrication, GR Yaris


The Toyota GR Yaris is brilliant but on track it over heats as our earlier Yaris blog highlighted.  We have experienced this with our own cars and a number of customers have also struggled with their cars overheating on track.

Toyota GR Yaris starting development

Posted by Iain Litchfield on 11/01/2021 in Chassis Setup, Dyno Tuning, ECU Remap, Engine, Exhaust, GR Yaris, Suspension


The Toyota GR Yaris gave the whole team a lift at the end of the year and we can’t think of a more anticipated car.  From the very first reviews it was clear this was something special and having cut our teeth with Subarus and Evos we had couldn’t wait to receive our cars.   We […]



GTS & GT4 exhaust development

Porsche 718 GTS & GT4 Exhaust Development

Posted by Iain Litchfield on 15/12/2020 in Engine, Exhaust, Fabrication, Porsche


 Where once we used to develop an exhaust primarily for improving performance, we are now increasingly looking at ways of enhancing the character of the exhaust note.  The latest 718 Porsche GTS & GT4 models are a prime example of a stunning engine that loses much of its character and excitement through its’ muted exhaust.

Posted by Iain Litchfield on 05/11/2019 in Dyno Tuning, ECU Remap, GT-R, Nissan

You have probably read on the internet and various forums about the ‘Crank Hub issue’ which affects the 3 litre S55 engine found in the F8x BMW M3 and M4, and the M2 Competition models.

Litchfield Custom Fabrication

Litchfield Custom Fabrication

Posted by Iain Litchfield on 08/02/2019 in Fabrication


There’s a lot of talk about British manufacturing at the moment – and I think we all know why.

Posted by Iain Litchfield on 10/09/2018 in Dyno Tuning, ECU Remap, GT-R, Nissan, Nurburgring, Paint Protection


Just getting our Stealth grey LM1 RS to the Nurburgring was a challenge this year. The car has had a lot of work completed on it over the last few months, but with a busy workshop looking after customer cars it often slipped to the back of the queue which meant we needed to complete […]





Litchfield GT-R Track Edition

Posted by Iain Litchfield on 07/09/2018 in Chassis Setup, ECU Remap, GT-R, Nissan, Paint Protection, Suspension


 The Litchfield Track Edition is a GT-R you can buy from us right now and we believe this Track Edition is the sweet spot in the Nissan GT-R range.

Posted by Iain Litchfield on 25/06/2018 in Akrapovic, Dyno Tuning, ECU Remap, Exhaust, Porsche


We love our 911 T but if there is one thing it’s missing is a little extra fire power and acoustic drama from its 3.0T engine.All of the 991.2 Carrera range share the same engine but they vary in power output and turbo size. The standard Carrera and T produce a claimed 370 PS, the […]
