recently got an Apexi AFC NEO from Aaron, and got it installed and tuned last thursday by hills motor sport.

little did i know before hand that it turns out that the turbo i have is actually hi-flowed, so i ended up with some rather nice results.

the first run is the lower line and each line further up is each power run as he was tuning the car. the final 2 higher ones are on higher boost, which it runs now.

would it be able to support more psi? i'd think at 16 we'd see some sexy looking kw

im not sure if it can or not.. would have to ask about that. id love to have more power though haha

wait wait..... so what mods do you have on the car?

And any idea on what the difference is between an AFC NEO and a normal AFC?

mods at the moment are, front mount, pod, boost controler, cat back 3" exhaust, hi-flow turbo and now the AFC Neo.

not a clue sorry, ive never used the older type one. all i know is that the AFC Neo is the latest one in the range.

if you go to the apexi usa website, it'll show you about it there.

Yeah I did find info saying that it combines what the SAFC and the VAFC do in one unit.

It's all very interesting to me, as I was told that you couldn't run a hi-flow without changing to proper tuning and bigger injectors and AFM, but I've since found plenty to say that is just bs. Now it makes me worried about going back to a mechanic who is actually extremely good at what he does..... I hate having to change mechanics :yes:

im not sure about that, like if i was to run the hi-flow at as hi as it could go, im sure id have to do some more changing, like as it is, the fuel cut sometimes kicks in (hopefully getting that looked at and fixed on thursday).

like it goes well, but i bet with a better AFM and bigger injectors, it would be a lot better

Looks awesome, can we get a copy of the AFR posted?

wish i had one mate, didnt get a print out though sorry.. i will ask to see if he still has it on the computer when i go back on thursday. hes taking the car for a street tune as its only been dyno tuned.

Mate how much was it to tune the Neo? ive been eyeing one off for while now, nothing too extreme so suits me well.

Also, where did you locate the display panel?

well i partly installed the neo (ran the cable and put it in the dash) the rest was done by hills. it cost $405 all up which was good. good tune, just some small bumps to iron out now that ive found when driving on the street.

i mounted the display in the dash just bellow the cd player

i want to get some sort of cover to put over it so i can hide it if i need to.

Is it just me or is there a huge gap between the AT:26 and IT:61 thats 35degrees difference.

Time to take it to the drag strip and see whats it can run :laugh:

haha yeh there is, duno whats up with that.

yes would be good to take it down there to the drags. a friend on sau got 12.9 i think it was running semi slicks and 210rwkw, so id expect mine to be in the high 12's at best with the tyres it has now (265/40/17). although semi's would be very nice to run.

Do you have stock injectors and an adjustable FPR or bigger injectors? What fuel pump?

as far as i know (i say that becasue i had no idea i had a hi-flow, who else know whats been changed that i cant see).. anyway, as far as i know it has stock injectors which im pretty sure of, standard FPR, and im pretty sure its the standard fuel pump.

if it is all standard, im probably pushing its limits and anything more would need a FPR or something. 3" dump would be nice though. only 3" from the back of the cat.

I am lookng at this mild tune up with the Neo when i install T04E turbo next week on my GTT. Hoping to bring down the fueling on the higher rev range. Do you think this unit is suitable? Have all the basic mods like FMIC, Oil Cooler, Twin core Radiotor, exhaust, etc. Appreciate feedback whether the NEO can do it's job.

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
