Neo, Ebc Installing And Tune

[xtc]

hey guys, ive just got a few questions before i book these into a workshop. with the neo i know it def has to be tuned after installation but how about the profec b spec 2 boost controller. ive called up and was quoted $300 just to install and tune for the boost controller only? is this correct and is price reasonable?

[xtc]

bassically all im asking is - after installing the boost controller does it actually need tuning? ans what is involved in the tuning?

by neo do you mean safc neo? you can wire that in and drive it around with out a tune. If you dont touch any settings (ie everything is set to 0) then the car will just run on the stock ecu tune, but of course you want to get it tuned because its pointless otherwise

The boost controller doesnt need a tune as such, but your safc neo will with the increase in boost. When they say "tuning the profec" all they are doing is setting the boost settings, nothing to do with your tune of the car. You can set the boost levels yourself, its quite easy. For the stock turbo run somewhere around 12-13psi.

Put the boost controller in first, set the boost to 12psi then put the safc neo in and get the neo tuned to the new boost level.

im got a quote of $300 to install and tune safc neo. another $300 to install and tune boost controller. thats $600? so what they are saying about tuning the boost controller is pointless?

i think someone is pulling ur leg here.

EBC dont need tuning like safc's.

wire them both in, send it down for a tune. EBC only needs to be set at a boost lvl. hardly tuning..

i suggest maybe a different work shop.

Depending on setups, EBC's often need to be fine tuned to hold boost levels or prevent creep.

Incorrect.

Correct.

Your S-AFC tune will be relevant to the level of boost.

Install them yourself (it's not rocket science)

Then go get it tuned.

Solved.

some how i think its unreasonable for 300 dollars for "fine tuning" and installing.

Installing is only a few wires, and if u know what u doing wont take 45mins.

Profec b is a pretty simple boost controller as well.

and what i meant strich9 is that the level of tuning of EBC is nothing compared to the SAFC. and should not cost the same as a SAFC (1,2 or neo) to "fine tune"

Starting to get beyond a joke with the prices involved these days. $300 is what a full ecu tune was a couple of years ago now its crazy.

Just to let you know my friend payed 220 for his PROFEC B installed and then dynoed.

[bubba]

I installed and tuned my ProfecBII myself, then had my tuner remap my ecu to suit my setup.

For anyone who doesn't really know what they're doing it's best to at the very least get your tuner to set up your ebc on the dyno (much safer).

im quoted about 600 to install the apexi neo and boost controller AND another 250-300 for dyno tuning both... the installation cost and tuning is really costing me a bomb.... but my car is running very rich and gets only 220hp on the wheels... hope the neo and boost controller can get me more... disappointing i have to say... sorry to hijack your thread...

[br3ndan]

lol

its not hard to wire them in poeple!

read the instruction manual and off you go.

And yes im talking from experience, i have wired in such gauges before =)

Cheers,

Neo is super simple to hook up, the included instructions are more than enough. And you can drive it after you've put it in because until you change some of the MAP it's all still running normally.

I imagine a boost controller is pretty easy to do aswell...

Really all you should need to pay for is tuning the Neo once you've put the controller and the neo in.

If you have any questions about putting the Neo in, PM me and I'd be happy to answer any questions. Putting mine in my R33 was very easy.
