At Power Curve Automotive, our Pre & Post-Trip Servicing ensures your 4WD, camper, or work vehicle is safe, efficient, and adventure-ready.

Why Pre-Trip Servicing is Essential:

INTERCOOLERS

 

When it comes to turbo-diesel engines, intercoolers play a critical role in maintaining performance, reliability, and efficiency. At Power Curve Automotive, we provide expert intercooler upgrades and installations to help your vehicle handle the demands of towing, touring, and everyday driving with ease.

What Does an Intercooler Do?

A turbocharged engine relies on compressed air to generate more power. However, compression also heats the air, reducing its density and efficiency. That’s where an intercooler comes in.

  • Cools Compressed Air: Lowers the temperature of the air before it enters the engine.
  • Increases Air Density: Cooler air contains more oxygen, improving combustion and power output.
  • Enhances Engine Efficiency: A more efficient combustion process can improve fuel economy and performance.
  • Protects Engine Components: Reduces the likelihood of engine knock and overheating.

 

Signs You Might Need an Intercooler Upgrade:

Loss of Power: Struggling to maintain power, especially when towing or climbing hills.
Increased Exhaust Temperatures: Overheating exhaust systems can indicate inefficient air cooling.
Poor Fuel Efficiency: An underperforming intercooler makes your engine work harder.
Turbo Lag: Delayed turbo response often signals airflow restrictions.

Intercooler Options We Provide:

Front-Mount Intercoolers (FMIC)

  • Mounted in front of the radiator for maximum airflow.
  • Ideal for high-demand towing and 4WD setups.
  • Improves cooling efficiency, especially in hot Australian conditions.

 

Top-Mount Intercoolers (TMIC)

  • Mounted on top of the engine for more compact setups.
  • Common in factory configurations; upgrade available for better cooling performance.
  • Suitable for vehicles without heavy towing demands.

 

 Water-to-Air Intercoolers

  • Uses a water-cooled system to cool intake air.
  • Great for low-speed off-road driving where airflow is limited.
  • Compact design with reliable performance in varying conditions.

 

Who Benefits from an Intercooler Upgrade?

  • Towing Enthusiasts: Extra cooling and power when hauling caravans, boats, or work trailers.
  • 4WD Tourers: Essential for long-distance adventures and challenging off-road conditions.
  • Diesel Drivers: Turbo-diesel engines rely heavily on intercooler performance.
  • Daily Drivers in Hot Climates: Cooler air intake helps maintain efficiency in Queensland’s heat.

 

Why Choose Power Curve Automotive?

  • Expert Diesel & 4WD Specialists: We understand the demands of turbo-diesel performance.
  • Top-Tier Products: We use high-quality intercooler kits built to handle tough Aussie conditions.
  • Custom Installations: Tailored solutions based on your driving habits and performance needs.

snorkels

Breathe Easy on Every Adventure…

When it comes to 4WD adventures across the Sunshine Coast and beyond, having a snorkel fitted to your vehicle is a game-changer. At Power Curve Automotive, we professionally install high-quality snorkels to protect your engine, improve airflow, and keep your adventures worry-free.

Why Install a Snorkel?

A snorkel isn’t just for water crossings – it’s a crucial upgrade for any 4WD or diesel-powered vehicle tackling varied terrains. Here’s why:

  • Cleaner, Cooler Air:
    Snorkels draw air from above the vehicle, reducing the intake of dust, dirt, and debris common on off-road tracks.
  • Water Crossing Capability:
    Crossing rivers, creeks, or beach tracks? A raised air intake helps prevent water from entering the engine during water crossings.
  • Improved Engine Efficiency:
    Cooler, cleaner air improves combustion, which boosts engine performance and fuel efficiency—especially beneficial for turbo-diesel engines.
  • Reduced Filter Maintenance:
    With less dust and debris entering the intake, air filters last longer and require less frequent cleaning or replacement.

 

Types of Snorkels We Install…

Raised Air Intake Snorkels:

  • The most common design, raising the intake point above roof height to avoid water, dust, and debris.
  • Ideal for touring, towing, and off-road adventures.

 

Ram-Head Snorkels:

  • Designed to direct airflow into the engine while deflecting rain and debris.
  • Great for high-speed highway driving and off-road environments.

 

Cyclonic Snorkels:

  • Incorporates a pre-filter system that separates dust and debris from the air before it reaches the filter.
  • Perfect for extended trips in extremely dusty conditions, like outback tracks.

 

Signs You Need a Snorkel:

  • Regular Off-Road Driving: Sand, dirt, and mud can quickly clog standard air intakes.
  • Beach Driving or River Crossings: Water ingress is a serious risk without proper engine protection.
  • Towing in Dusty Conditions: Towing adds stress to your engine—cleaner air intake helps it work more efficiently.
  • Planning Long-Distance Touring: Reduce maintenance intervals and improve fuel efficiency on extended adventures.

 

The Installation Process – Our Expert Touch:

  • Vehicle Assessment: We determine the best snorkel type based on your vehicle make, model, and driving habits.
  • Precision Fitting: Our experienced team ensures secure, watertight installation for maximum protection.
  • Waterproof Sealing & Testing: We test seals to ensure they’re ready for water crossings.
  • Post-Installation Check: We inspect airflow performance and engine response to confirm everything runs smoothly.

Suspension & gvm upgrades

 

Built for Bigger Adventures…

Whether you’re towing a caravan, loading up for a worksite, or preparing your 4WD for long-distance touring, having the right suspension and Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) setup is essential. At Power Curve Automotive, we offer expert Suspension & GVM Upgrades to improve safety, comfort, and compliance—so you can travel with confidence, no matter the load.

Why Consider Suspension & GVM Upgrades?

Legal Compliance & Safety:

  • Every vehicle has a manufacturer-set GVM limit, and exceeding it can void insurance and risk fines.
  • Upgrading your GVM ensures you stay legal and safe when carrying heavy loads or towing.

 

Improved Load-Carrying Capacity:

  • Upgraded suspension components, like heavy-duty springs and shocks, increase your vehicle’s ability to handle weight without sagging or instability.

 

Enhanced Stability & Control:

  • More weight means more stress on your suspension and braking systems. GVM and suspension upgrades improve vehicle handling, especially when towing or cornering.

 

Better Off-Road Performance:

  • A suspension upgrade provides better ground clearance, articulation, and ride comfort for off-road adventures.

 

Extended Component Life:

  • Reinforced springs, shocks, and bushes reduce wear and tear on your vehicle when regularly loaded or driven on rough terrain.

 

Key Components of Our Suspension & GVM Upgrades:

 

Tough Dog Suspension Systems (Authorised Sunshine Coast Dealer).

  • Known for durability and performance in harsh Australian conditions.
  • Custom solutions for touring, towing, and off-road use.

 

Coil & Leaf Spring Upgrades:

  • Heavy-duty springs to support increased loads while maintaining ride quality.
  • Tailored to your vehicle’s purpose—whether it’s work, play, or travel.

 

Shock Absorber Upgrades:

  • High-performance shocks improve ride comfort and handling under heavy loads.
  • We install quality gas and foam cell shock absorbers based on your driving needs.

 

Airbag Suspension Systems:

  • Adjustable airbags provide on-demand support when carrying variable loads.
  • Ideal for vehicles that switch between family use and heavy towing.

 

Upper Control Arms:

  • Essential for maintaining proper wheel alignment in lifted vehicles.
  • Improves tyre lifespan, steering feel, and overall handling.

 

WHAT IS A GVM UPGRADE?

GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) is the maximum allowable weight of your vehicle, including passengers, cargo, fuel, and accessories. If you add heavy items like bull bars, canopies, or towing equipment, you may exceed the original GVM, compromising safety and legality.

A GVM upgrade:

  • Increases your legal load capacity.
  • Ensures compliance with state and federal regulations.
  • Maintains insurance validity for heavy-duty use.

 

We Provide Certified GVM Upgrades – After installation, we supply the necessary certification for registration and insurance purposes.

Who Needs Suspension & GVM Upgrades?

  • 4WD Adventurers: Extra ground clearance and load capacity for touring and off-road trips.
  • Caravan & Boat Towers: Safer, more stable towing performance for heavy loads.
  • Tradespeople: Utes loaded with tools, equipment, or materials need stronger suspension systems.
  • Fleet & Commercial Vehicles: Work vehicles carrying heavy loads daily benefit from better stability and component longevity.

 

Common Signs You Need an Upgrade:

Sagging Rear End: The back of your vehicle sits low when loaded.
Reduced Handling: More body roll when turning or instability when braking.
Excessive Suspension Wear: Frequent bush, shock, or spring replacements.
Poor Towing Performance: Trailer sway, unresponsive steering, or excessive bounce.

The Power Curve Suspension & GVM Upgrade Process:

Consultation: We assess your vehicle and usage—beach trips, towing, off-road, or work duties.

Custom Recommendations: We tailor suspension and GVM upgrade options to match your needs.

Professional Installation: Our experienced team installs components with precision and care.

Certification & Compliance: After installation, we provide full documentation for insurance and registration.

Post-Upgrade Test Drive: We test the vehicle to ensure optimal performance and handling.

  • Sunshine Coast Dealer for Tough Dog Suspension: Trusted solutions for load-bearing and off-road vehicles.
  • 4WD, Diesel & Towing Experts: We know the unique demands of Australian conditions and towing requirements.
  • Modern Equipment & Techniques: Advanced tools and experienced mechanics for every job.

Stocklock Automatic Lock-up Kits

 

Smarter, Stronger, Smoother Towing…

If you tow heavy loads, tour long distances, or simply want to protect your automatic transmission, a Stocklock Automatic Lock-Up Kit is one of the smartest investments you can make. At Power Curve Automotive, we offer professional installation of these innovative kits to improve towing performance, reduce heat, and extend the life of your transmission.

What is a Stocklock Automatic Lock-Up Kit?

Modern automatic transmissions rely on a torque converter to transfer engine power to the wheels. While efficient in many situations, torque converters generate heat and can cause power loss, especially when towing. A Stocklock Kit solves this by manually locking the torque converter when needed, giving you greater control and efficiency.

Key Benefits of a Stocklock Kit…

  • Reduced Transmission Heat:
    Overheating is a major risk when towing or driving in tough conditions. Stocklock kits lock the torque converter, minimising slippage and heat buildup.
  • Better Towing Performance:
    Towing a caravan, boat, or trailer? A lock-up kit provides more direct power to the wheels, making towing smoother and reducing engine strain.
  • Improved Engine Braking:
    When descending hills, Stocklock kits help your engine provide natural braking assistance, reducing brake wear and improving control.
  • Enhanced Fuel Efficiency:
    Less power loss and slippage means better fuel economy – an essential benefit for long-distance travel or regular towing.
  • Extended Transmission Life:
    Lower operating temperatures and reduced slippage help your automatic transmission last longer and perform better.

 

How Does It Work?

The Stocklock system is designed to work with your existing automatic transmission setup. Here’s a simplified overview:

Torque Converter Lock-Up: When engaged, the kit locks the torque converter, eliminating slip and providing a direct mechanical connection between the engine and wheels.

Selectable Modes: You can manually activate the lock-up for towing or off-road situations while the system automatically disengages when needed.

Temperature Management: The kit helps regulate transmission temperatures by reducing heat generated during torque converter operation.

Who Should Consider a Stocklock Kit?

  • Towing Enthusiasts: Caravans, boats, and trailers add significant strain to automatic transmissions.
  • 4WD Adventurers: Off-road tracks, sand, and long climbs heat up transmissions quickly – Stocklock kits help prevent overheating.
  • Fleet & Work Vehicles: Vehicles consistently hauling tools or equipment benefit from better performance and efficiency.
  • Touring Vehicles: If you love long-distance touring with a fully-loaded 4WD, this upgrade is essential for reliability.

 

Signs Your Transmission Might Need a Stocklock Kit:

High Transmission Temperatures: Overheating warnings when towing or climbing hills.
Sluggish Performance: A lack of response when accelerating or shifting gears.
Increased Fuel Consumption: Poor fuel efficiency when towing or carrying heavy loads.
Early Wear & Tear: Premature transmission issues in vehicles frequently used for towing.

The Power Curve Installation Process:

Vehicle Assessment: We review your transmission performance and towing requirements.

Customised Installation: Stocklock kits are fitted and wired to integrate seamlessly with your existing setup.

Thorough Testing: Post-installation, we test the lock-up functionality, engine braking performance, and temperature regulation.

Driver Education: We’ll show you how the system works and how to use it for optimal performance.

Why Choose Power Curve Automotive for Stocklock Installation?

  • Experienced Transmission Specialists: We’ve installed countless Stocklock kits on towing and 4WD vehicles across the Sunshine Coast.
  • Quality Components, Precision Installation: We use genuine Stocklock kits and ensure all work meets high industry standards.
  • Tailored Advice: We take the time to understand your driving habits and towing needs before recommending the right setup.

Recovery Points – Essential for Safe 4WD Recovery.

Off-road adventures often come with unpredictable challenges—sand, mud, water crossings, and rocky trails. Properly rated recovery points are essential for safe, controlled vehicle recoveries when the going gets tough.

Why Invest in Recovery Points?

  • Safe Recovery Operations: Factory tie-down points are not designed for recovery. We install purpose-built, rated recovery points for safe, controlled recoveries.
  • Peace of Mind Off-Road: Whether you’re beach driving or hitting bush tracks, knowing you have secure recovery points adds confidence to every adventure.
  • Built for Tough Conditions: Heavy-duty steel construction with clear rating certifications ensures strength and reliability.
  • Proper Weight Distribution: Front and rear recovery points distribute loads evenly, reducing stress on your vehicle’s chassis.

Tow Bar & Recovery Point Safety Checklist:

Check Load Ratings:
Ensure your tow bar and recovery points are rated for the loads you tow or recover.

Inspect for Damage:
Regularly check for signs of corrosion, cracks, or loose fittings.

Use the Right Accessories:
Shackles, recovery straps, and brake controllers all play a role in safe towing and recovery.

Book a Professional Installation:
Incorrect installations compromise safety. Our team uses high-quality components and proper techniques for secure, compliant installations.

Who Needs Tow Bars & Recovery Points?

  • Towing Enthusiasts: Caravans, boats, trailers—safe towing starts with a strong, reliable tow bar.
  • 4WD Adventurers: Beach runs, bush tracks, or outback trips often require recovery points for self-rescue or recovery assistance.
  • Tradies & Fleet Vehicles: Tools, materials, and trailers put daily strain on vehicles—strong tow bars help manage the load.
