Written by the company

Hi, my name’s Daniel, and I run everything you see here at DRTuned Racing! What surprises a lot of people, is to learn that DRTuned Racing isn’t a “team” or a corporate group of people. It’s just me, I do it all. The tuning, emails, marketing, web design, and all the ongoing development. I’ve been tuning Mazda’s, and exclusively MZR and Skyactiv engines, for the last 10 years now. This brand, and the Mazda community, is far more than just a fun side hobby for me; this is my livelihood, and has been for the last several years. That dedicated focus is how we've become the #1 Skyactiv Mazda Tuner in North America, and the biggest tuner of the brand new Skyactiv 2.5T Turbo engines globally. I hope that you’ll allow me to join you on this journey with your Mazda, and add your story to the hundreds of other incredible Mazda owners I’ve worked with over the last 10 years.

Smooth Proccess, Quality results!

Amazing Tune, amazing support, and amazing community. Daniel was always quick to respond to all of my questions, even the silly ones! Was very understanding and accommodating of the times that I could work on the tune. I finished the tune about a year ago, no issues to speak of, I've been loving it.

Great Tune for Mazda 3

Daniel was amazing to work with and interact with. He was extremely helpful and quick to respond to the simplest things (like getting the software initially downloaded). He worked closely with me to get what I wanted out of the vehicle and kept me informed on why was limiting me etc.

This style of tuning was new to me and I though it was super helpful to be able to write the files to the car and feel the noticeable differences in each tuning file.

Maximum power , retains engine longevity.

Responds to emails promptly. Very trustworthy and straight forward to deal with.He tuned my Mazda 3 Turbo Hatchback and the cars performance is really impressive now. The best thing is that his tune is to maximize your cars potential without compromising your engine longevity and that for me is very important. Highly recommended.

DRTuned = Zoom Zoom!!

Daniel absolutely crushed it tuning my Mazda 3 Turbo. The whole process was super smooth and hassle free from start to finish. You can really tell Daniel loves what he does as he took his time and dialed the car in perfectly, squeezing out every bit of performance out of it. End result is a completely different car that is a joy to drive and puts a smile on my face every time I hit the gas. Can’t wait for Tier 2! DRTuned is the only place my Mazdas are going from now on.

Reliable, safe Mazda tuner

DRTuned tuned my 2020 Mazda 3. It made a huge improvement in a car that's flawed from the factory. Lots of low end torque that died off hard at high RPM. The tune brought back the top end and no longer penalized you for revving it out. Huge improvement, and very easy to work with.

I also asked him for advice with various mods, and he answered honestly and often told me not to do them for reliability issues. I trust him to keep an engine safe.

My Mazda 6 GTR

My Mazda 6 GTR was tuned by Daniel using the Mazda Edit program that connects to the OBD port via a laptop USB cable. Logs and tunes are sent and received via email and Daniel was responsive to questions that I had periodically. My right foot thanks Daniel each time I press the throttle!

DRTuned service is top-tier

DRTuned service is top-tier. There’s no one else quite like him when it comes to quality and reliability. He's the way to go to get more power and even better MPG in a professional, responsive, and genuinely outstanding process. I originally got the tune for my Mazda 2.5 Turbo in 2023, and the experience was far from generic. The process is fully customized to adapt the tune to get the most out of your car’s specific conditions, through datalogging that he ACTUALLY reviews, unlike other tuners who rely on generic trial and error that pushes the development risk onto the customer. So far, it’s been flawless.
I’m really looking forward to Tier 2 which surely will bring more power and joy!

Best tuner out there

Best tuner out there. I’ve been using Daniel for several years and have been part of his development team for the Mazda 2.5T. I’ve experienced tuners on other platforms and even another for my 2.5T and Daniel is just a level up. He clearly has a lot of tuning knowledge and experience as his tunes are not only powerful but smooth and refined. Anyone can make power, refinement is where the real skill is. I look forward to working with him in the near future on my supercharged ND build.

Good way to squeeze some extra power…

Good way to squeeze some extra power out of my skyactiv. Tuned on 93 octane and while gas is more expensive I also get 2-3 mpg better than before so I'd say it about evens out. Daniel let me finish my tunes up a little after the alloted period as well without any extra charge.

THE Mazda3 Turbo tuner

Daniel was communicative, attentive, and professional when both approaching the question of what I would need to successfully tune my car and ongoing support during the tuning process. Highly recommend.
