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.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
