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.

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.. :bunny:

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?

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

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

Hey sidd, sobered up now ;) so my opinion may make slightly more sense now :D 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 :D

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.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Duncan · Posted

      Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By Duncan · Posted

      This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By dingleberry · Posted

      hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy

      SAUNSW - World Time Attack Challenge - 5 & 6 September

      By Keeper · Posted

      Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
