The Plan

[bustafat]

Ok heres are the details:

- stock r33 gtst s1

- runs stock everything except a 3.5" exhaust

- car is running rich, i make about 250-280 on a full tank

- bought new o2 sensor did crap all

I dont think there is much i can do except tune the thing as its been running rich ever since this exhaust came in

Here is the plan in the next 3 or 4 months when i pay off my tax return - stupid hex debt;

1. up the boost to 10psi

2. get a fmic $400 with justjap - put in myself

3. get an air intake kit, assuming $300

4. drop the car at the mechanics for a tune (preferably a sau sponsor)

I'm wanting a cheap tune, so im assuming a safc neo should be fine for this (think about 5-700 or so), and then comes the installation of the piggyback and the actual tune.

I've read other threads and people seem to have different views on the use of the safc, but i think for my purposes it should be fine, others have done similar and they seem to be ok.

questions;

1. how much will the installation and tune cost at a half decent place,

2. any idea about how much power ill get - a range possiby?

3. am i on the right track or have i lost my mind..

thanks for the help.

get an Emanige Blue or Ultimate.. Only a tiny bit more than an SAFC and much more tuneable.

I believe the Emanage can come with a wiring harness which means 0 installation time ?? Can com someone confirm this ? IF that is the case, the tuner will probably 'install' it for you. If you have to actually wire it up, expect to pay a mechanic $100-150 to put it in. Or you could try and do it yourself if your handy. But im fairly sure they have a harness which is plug and play.

Your probably looking @ 2 hours dyno time to tune a Emanage. Expect to pay $150-$200 per hour. Safc only takes 1 hour to tune so its a bit cheaper there again, but you wont have as nice a power curve.

power wise, 180rwkw-200rwkw depending on how happy the dyno is

enjoy !

Check and change the engine temp sensor for the ECU (2 pin) it should be about $90 from Nissan

250kms! Jebus...

An intake kit is a waste of time/money - Especially when you clearly have issues to sort out first. 300 bucks for higher intake temps and *possibly* a few kw? 250+rwkw here with the stock box. Don't bother unless you like extra noise.

I was getting similar sort of economy until I realised that we forgot to plug the O2 sensor back in when we last had the motor out
