Is This Ridiculous Or Fair

[G-Money]

i just called up a mechanic and said hes gonna charge me 750 for the wire up of my emanage (that i'm supplying) and 500 for the tune

1250 on top of the 600 i already paid for the unit. is this insane or fair???

ROFL! no

$500 for the tune is about average. $750 is way over price just to wire it in

E-manage is just a piggyback ECU right? can't be more than a handful of wires.

Even $500 for the tune is ridiculous.. Maybe 2 hours of Dyno time @ 125/hour?

Who was the mechanic?

the emanage is a full piggy back, not just fuel like a safc. You buy the harness adaptor and you dont need to touch a single wire, no cutting, just plug and play. If he's charging you to install it, he's on drugs, its practically the same as installing a powerfc.

The tune shouldnt be anymore than 500 for a basic setup (ie stock turbo @ 12psi, exhaust, FMIC etc)

i'd say he's tearing you a new asshole...

If you dont have the plug and play harness it will cost that to wire up there are a lot of wires about 30 I think, or just do it yourself follow the diagram and its easy.

i'd rather buy the harness adaptor to suit your car and not molest the stock harness

harness adaptor ftw! no where near that price... you could do it yourself for $200 with a generic adaptor & a lil know how.

Money for tune would only be right for drastic setup changes(much larger turbos, cams etc), otherwise I'd be looking elsewhere mate.

tenagah motor sport, i thought it was a bit much can anyone give me any names or places. i just want the install and a mild tune (stock turbz, FMIC , zorst 12-13 psi & Z32 afm) and where i could find a harness for an rb20

slide performance;

check the sau traders section (in the forsale section)

Tenegah are usually quite good on prices, but I would of gone the adapter harness from the outset.

Actually I would of gone Nistune, esp. on a 32.

+1 for remap of factory ecu, is running my 30 + 550cc injectors + z32 afm just fine.

[black_gtst]

buy the harness mate, 2 plugs and ya done. if ya ever get a defect just unplug! can get the harnesses through heaps of places, autobarn nungun ebay etc etc

[G-Money]

would a 32 gtr harness be the same as my gtst???

[G-Money]

bump this is the only one i could find

[infamous_t]

I know the plugs are the same, but i don't know if GTR/GTST is wired differently.

[bubba]

Extra sensors in a GTR (air intake temp sensor, extra afm plug are a couple that spring to mind).
