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.

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
