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.

  • 2 weeks later...

so does anyone around here know the place in sheperton that does dyno tuning?

been told that they are good.

any one got any feedback from there or any one got the email address or number>?

even there name would help?

thanks.

been told that websters is not so good in albury

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
