hi guys

i asked you about the install and tune SAFC few weeks ago

and everyone said they installed and tuned SAFC around $200

but the place i tried was over 400 and upto 700!!!!!!

i tried UNIGROUP they said 700...

and they said it wont improve much without boost controller..

so 700 for install and tune SAFC and boost controller...

anyone know anyplace cost around $200 to tune and installation?

cheers

paul

hitman charge $250 for install and tune. i have never heard negative feedback about this workshop. every1 on this forum is recommending them

EDIT: don't know if that cost includes use of a dyno or not though

go see matt (hitman) at penrith

http://www.hitman.hm/index2.html

he will do it for much less, and do a good job of it too.

unigroup are severely overpriced anyway.

i sent the email to matt a week ago and they didnt get back to me yet... i should give them a call ..lol

hey mate how are ya.?

yeh bud tell me about it hey. i got a quote for an install of safc mate.

195 bucks to install it cause it takes 2 and a half hours they said?

and couldnt quote me a dyno tune price because they couldnt tell me how long it will be on the dyno, and thats at 145 an hour.

so yeh i have heard guys on here getting much cheaper as well.

Just to add, i had mine tuned-only at Unigroup for $150 but that was ages ago so i don't think they are overpriced but maybe included the price of the unit and installation as someone else already stated

i said to them i had safc..

i think they overpriced on me..

how long does it usally take to tune SAFC?

On the topic, Ive got a quote of $650 to install a safc2, profec2 and a set of spark plugs thrown in gapped at 0.8mm and tune it from JEM moorebank. Does that sound resonable? I had a chat with Adam

Now I am most likely going to install the safc2 myself the spark plugs so I might get the price to come down. but yea 750 for a tune is ridiculous!

Also could someone guide me to a link on how to install a safc2 here on sau? Thanks

    • Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant
    • If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...
    • All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?
    • It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
    • I just try to entirely stay away from ladder now unless it's something basic maintained by electricians. Even then and to your point, it mostly ends up being blocks I wrote in structured text.  PLC's are slowly going towards C, C++ and C#. I just wish Allen-Bradley would jump on the bandwagon.
