i just called up a mechanic and said hes gonna charge me 750 for the wire up of my emanage (that i'm supplying) and 500 for the tune

1250 on top of the 600 i already paid for the unit. is this insane or fair???

ROFL! no

$500 for the tune is about average. $750 is way over price just to wire it in

the emanage is a full piggy back, not just fuel like a safc. You buy the harness adaptor and you dont need to touch a single wire, no cutting, just plug and play. If he's charging you to install it, he's on drugs, its practically the same as installing a powerfc.

The tune shouldnt be anymore than 500 for a basic setup (ie stock turbo @ 12psi, exhaust, FMIC etc)

i'd say he's tearing you a new asshole...

harness adaptor ftw! no where near that price... you could do it yourself for $200 with a generic adaptor & a lil know how.

Money for tune would only be right for drastic setup changes(much larger turbos, cams etc), otherwise I'd be looking elsewhere mate.

tenagah motor sport, i thought it was a bit much can anyone give me any names or places. i just want the install and a mild tune (stock turbz, FMIC , zorst 12-13 psi & Z32 afm) and where i could find a harness for an rb20

slide performance;

check the sau traders section (in the forsale section)

    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
