Afc Neo Installation Costs And Tune?

[cliff25gtst]

hey guys just wondering how much you guys have paid or what a good price is to get a afc neo installed in my 33.

and also how long should the dyno tune take to tune it??

any help would be appreciated, thanks.

[cliff25gtst]

anyone guys

[lvlong]

I was charged $150 for installation and $200 for 1 hour of dyno tune. But then i also had AVCR installed as well.

[cliff25gtst]

yeh i was quoted 190 for installation and then unknown how long for the dyno tune.

how long should the dyno tune take?

Yup cost i got quoted from a top tuner was 330 all up including the tune.

150-250 is normally for the tune..

And i wanted afew other tiny little bits done.. so think it was about 300-330

Im going install one in the next two weeks..

Try Chasers. I think about $250 all up? Can't recall exactly.

RE Customs in springvale charged me 200 with install and tune of my safc2.

speak to ray, they top blokes at RE

[cliff25gtst]

yeh they quoted me 190 just to install it and couldnt quote me all up because were unknown how long it would take to tune it.

[siddr20]

Tune should take 1.5-2 hours max.. nothing more.. unless its got problems

Wont take that long Sidd, SAFC is quite simple to tune.

It only controls the fueling (SAFC stands for super air flow convertor - it literally takes the airflow meter signal and converts it a given percentage higher or lower dependant on the given RPM).

Unless the Neo is different from the SAFCII, it definitely shouldnt take long to tune at all, maybe 10 - 20 mins at most?

[cliff25gtst]

10 or 20 mins?

i thought it would be much longer then that wouldnt it?

[siddr20]

I spoke to swann180 last night.. he tells me it took him only 20 mins to set up everything correctly.. think he did it himself

however we both were drunk, and we didnt speak too much about it... hahahah

But most tuners say it should take 1 hour max.. 1.5 at most!!

So if its 1 hour, im sure 20 mins will be just getting the settings correct, and the rest will be fine tuning things

[Xizor]

what do you guys who get the neo notice after install? Any difference in performance and or economy? any other changes?

[siddr20]

^ Curious to know this as well..

[cliff25gtst]

yeh 1.5 max hey. yeh hope so.

so that will be around the 450 mark fitted and tuned they will want to charge me i am guessing.

down melbourne is probably the cheapest way to go but then theres the drive down costs as well

Protek in Preston gave me a good quote on the install and tune of a Safc Neo

was around $200-250 i think.. Ill get around to getting it done one day

Hey sidd, sobered up now so my opinion may make slightly more sense now Oh and I didnt set mine up, Dale from Castle Hill Exhaust did.

But yeah basically an SAFC only controls airflow, and does so by correcting the signal sent from the airflow meter. Unlike a full management system it has no control over ignition timing.

Also, an SAFC doesnt take engine load into account, only RPM.

Basically it just increases or decreases the amount of fuel being injected into the engine at incremental RPM.

It really shouldnt take very long at all to set up. All your tuner would need to do is a dyno run, mapping AFRs on the dyno sheet too.

Seeing where the engine was running too rich and running too lean, they then would just add or take away fuel where required till they have the desired fuel curve, and viola thats it.

It really shouldnt be costing very much to set up and definitely shouldnt take an hour on the dyno to tune it either.

In 1.5 hours a good workshop should be able to install *and* tune it to be honest, its really not an overly complex task and the way the unit functions is quite simple.

If you are in any doubt, ask the tuner what *exactly* youre paying for, and what exactly they need to do.

Hope that helps

Hi Cliff,

The fitting of the afc is about 2 & 1/2 hours ($192.50 @ $77 p/hr) and the dyno tuning is $143 p/h. As this is a bit of an unknown, I can't give you a quote on it.

thats the quote that they gave me.

[cliff25gtst]

so does anyone around here know the place in sheperton that does dyno tuning?

been told that they are good.

any one got any feedback from there or any one got the email address or number>?

even there name would help?

thanks.

been told that websters is not so good in albury
