Using A Dyno..

[tyaos]

hi guys

i asked you about the install and tune SAFC few weeks ago

and everyone said they installed and tuned SAFC around $200

but the place i tried was over 400 and upto 700!!!!!!

i tried UNIGROUP they said 700...

and they said it wont improve much without boost controller..

so 700 for install and tune SAFC and boost controller...

anyone know anyplace cost around $200 to tune and installation?

cheers

you sure that didn't include buying it?

and i think half of that price would've been the installation. install it yourself then drive somewhere and get it tuned. get prices for just tune only and the price will drop a fair bit.

[shnaped_second]

Install only takes between 1/2-1hr and it wouldnt cost half of $700

[mad082]

it would if they didn't really want to do it

go see matt (hitman) at penrith

http://www.hitman.hm/index2.html

he will do it for much less, and do a good job of it too.

unigroup are severely overpriced anyway.

Dont think youll find many dyno shops thst will fit a SAFC for $40, id say fit and tune for $400 would be average.

[mesmerized]

hitman charge $250 for install and tune. i have never heard negative feedback about this workshop. every1 on this forum is recommending them

EDIT: don't know if that cost includes use of a dyno or not though

How do they tune it without using a dyno? On the street?

[Munkyb0y]

its tuned on the dyno

and 250 - 300 sounds about right

[Birnie]

I'll install it for $100

[Birnie]

If you're gunna do it, you might as well boost it 10-11psi while you're at it with a cheap bleeder.

Make sure you have plugs gapped to 0.8mm 1st though.

And yes, use the Hitman in Penrith

cheers!

lol just call you lazy bastard

you know these 'car types' dont use the interwebz much

[cliff25gtst]

hey mate how are ya.?

yeh bud tell me about it hey. i got a quote for an install of safc mate.

195 bucks to install it cause it takes 2 and a half hours they said?

and couldnt quote me a dyno tune price because they couldnt tell me how long it will be on the dyno, and thats at 145 an hour.

so yeh i have heard guys on here getting much cheaper as well.

[Birnie]

Just to add, i had mine tuned-only at Unigroup for $150 but that was ages ago so i don't think they are overpriced but maybe included the price of the unit and installation as someone else already stated

i said to them i had safc..

i think they overpriced on me..

how long does it usally take to tune SAFC?

[TramanBaba]

On the topic, Ive got a quote of $650 to install a safc2, profec2 and a set of spark plugs thrown in gapped at 0.8mm and tune it from JEM moorebank. Does that sound resonable? I had a chat with Adam

Now I am most likely going to install the safc2 myself the spark plugs so I might get the price to come down. but yea 750 for a tune is ridiculous!

Also could someone guide me to a link on how to install a safc2 here on sau? Thanks

yes.. install it yourself.

spark plugs will be about $4 each.

install them yourself.

tune will not cost you that much.
