hey guys just wondering how much you guys have paid or what a good price is to get a afc neo installed in my 33.

and also how long should the dyno tune take to tune it??

any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Yup cost i got quoted from a top tuner was 330 all up including the tune.

150-250 is normally for the tune..

And i wanted afew other tiny little bits done.. so think it was about 300-330

Im going install one in the next two weeks.. :bunny:

Tune should take 1.5-2 hours max.. nothing more.. unless its got problems

Wont take that long Sidd, SAFC is quite simple to tune.

It only controls the fueling (SAFC stands for super air flow convertor - it literally takes the airflow meter signal and converts it a given percentage higher or lower dependant on the given RPM).

Unless the Neo is different from the SAFCII, it definitely shouldnt take long to tune at all, maybe 10 - 20 mins at most?

I spoke to swann180 last night.. he tells me it took him only 20 mins to set up everything correctly.. think he did it himself

however we both were drunk, and we didnt speak too much about it... hahahah

But most tuners say it should take 1 hour max.. 1.5 at most!!

So if its 1 hour, im sure 20 mins will be just getting the settings correct, and the rest will be fine tuning things

yeh 1.5 max hey. yeh hope so.

so that will be around the 450 mark fitted and tuned they will want to charge me i am guessing.

down melbourne is probably the cheapest way to go but then theres the drive down costs as well

Hey sidd, sobered up now ;) so my opinion may make slightly more sense now :D Oh and I didnt set mine up, Dale from Castle Hill Exhaust did.

But yeah basically an SAFC only controls airflow, and does so by correcting the signal sent from the airflow meter. Unlike a full management system it has no control over ignition timing.

Also, an SAFC doesnt take engine load into account, only RPM.

Basically it just increases or decreases the amount of fuel being injected into the engine at incremental RPM.

It really shouldnt take very long at all to set up. All your tuner would need to do is a dyno run, mapping AFRs on the dyno sheet too.

Seeing where the engine was running too rich and running too lean, they then would just add or take away fuel where required till they have the desired fuel curve, and viola thats it.

It really shouldnt be costing very much to set up and definitely shouldnt take an hour on the dyno to tune it either.

In 1.5 hours a good workshop should be able to install *and* tune it to be honest, its really not an overly complex task and the way the unit functions is quite simple.

If you are in any doubt, ask the tuner what *exactly* youre paying for, and what exactly they need to do.

Hope that helps :D

Hi Cliff,

The fitting of the afc is about 2 & 1/2 hours ($192.50 @ $77 p/hr) and the dyno tuning is $143 p/h. As this is a bit of an unknown, I can't give you a quote on it.

thats the quote that they gave me.

      Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?

      By PranK · Posted

      The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
