Ok heres are the details:

- stock r33 gtst s1

- runs stock everything except a 3.5" exhaust

- car is running rich, i make about 250-280 on a full tank

- bought new o2 sensor did crap all

I dont think there is much i can do except tune the thing as its been running rich ever since this exhaust came in

Here is the plan in the next 3 or 4 months when i pay off my tax return - stupid hex debt;

1. up the boost to 10psi

2. get a fmic $400 with justjap - put in myself

3. get an air intake kit, assuming $300

4. drop the car at the mechanics for a tune (preferably a sau sponsor)

I'm wanting a cheap tune, so im assuming a safc neo should be fine for this (think about 5-700 or so), and then comes the installation of the piggyback and the actual tune.

I've read other threads and people seem to have different views on the use of the safc, but i think for my purposes it should be fine, others have done similar and they seem to be ok.

questions;

1. how much will the installation and tune cost at a half decent place,

2. any idea about how much power ill get - a range possiby?

3. am i on the right track or have i lost my mind..

thanks for the help.

get an Emanige Blue or Ultimate.. Only a tiny bit more than an SAFC and much more tuneable.

I believe the Emanage can come with a wiring harness which means 0 installation time ?? Can com someone confirm this ? IF that is the case, the tuner will probably 'install' it for you. If you have to actually wire it up, expect to pay a mechanic $100-150 to put it in. Or you could try and do it yourself if your handy. But im fairly sure they have a harness which is plug and play.

Your probably looking @ 2 hours dyno time to tune a Emanage. Expect to pay $150-$200 per hour. Safc only takes 1 hour to tune so its a bit cheaper there again, but you wont have as nice a power curve.

power wise, 180rwkw-200rwkw depending on how happy the dyno is

enjoy !

250kms! Jebus...

An intake kit is a waste of time/money - Especially when you clearly have issues to sort out first. 300 bucks for higher intake temps and *possibly* a few kw? 250+rwkw here with the stock box. Don't bother unless you like extra noise.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
