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?

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 :O

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.

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.

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.

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.... :rant: 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...

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.

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise

      Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
