How much would you expect to pay to have this done.........

Right guys my car should have its new parts fitted very soon along with the ecu and mapping

My ecu which i have is the AEM series 1 universal ECU

I need the below harness to be hardwired into my existing supra loom and then plugged into the AEM ECU

How much would you expect to be charged to have the harness hardwired into the toyota loom???

Also how long would you expect it to take in hours to complete?

Tuners / mappers / traders all more than welcome to comment on this too

Thanks

Shane

i know with the aem v1 you need hks dli stop stop the ecu going into wasted spark

supra specific aem v1 yes but mine is the universal aem v1 that eliminates the need for the hks dli

Best bet would be to ask the tuner of your choice id have thought, also keep in mind picking the cheapest is not always a good idea, go with somebody that has a proven track record.

This thread was put up to find out what others may charge to wire this into my car, i have already received a price from ''my tuner'' to have this work done and shocked is an understatement lol ....... I will reveal the price that they gave me later on after i get a few estimates on here

I would say approx £300 and have the car for a day. that does not include a base map to run engine.

Thanks absz, the price im talking about is literally hard wire the aem into the supra, no mapping included

Might be wrong but i think you will need a hks DLI unit as it will have to be set as wasted spark, the intergal built in ignitor in the Aem ecu can only fire a max of 5 coils but please confirm this from a tuner

I will do it for a tenner, ive never done it before though, i only have a hammer and a roll of duck tape, im sure it will be fine though:)

Thats a bit steep a tenner? I would say a fiver is fair:D

exchange the hammer for a pair of side cutters with a bit of twist and tape it should be fine:d

So that's how Jamie is funding the new GTR mods, using a hammer to tune cars!!

I have no idea how long a job this would be but I'd imagine a couple or 3 hours labour?

I was quoted £800 today by a garage in Ireland and told it would take 2 days to complete the wiring, thats why i posted up here asking. I didnt post up asking for shit smart ass comments nor was i looking for a cheap way of fitting this, if that was the case i would go at it myself

Thanks for the comments though

What garage? Please don't say predator motorsport.

lol not a hope in hell would i ever go there again

That works out to £400 a day in labour

Are they that difficult to hardware in? I have no idea but never would have thought it would take that long, maybe a day at the most.

All joints have to be soldered and heat shrinked so will take a few hours, Maybe the garage was not keen on doing the job so just out priced it.

I'd have thought about 4 hours maybe? Say at £40-50 an hour?

Joints should be crimped, not soldered. Anyone not having done this before and quoting a low fixed price should be viewed with suspicion. £400 sounds dirt cheap for a proper job. £800 isn't unrealistic *IF* they use good materials and get it right first time. It's stuff like this that makes a cheap ecu with no commercially available "plug `n' play loom adaptor for the application suddenly get very expensive. dan294 sounds like your man Bet he'd revise his estimate once he'd attempted a job like that...

Why is this?

I have always soldered joints and never had issues. YES soldered joints if not done correctly can cause high resistance and dry joints. but then again the amount of modern german cars a have repaired due to electrically issues resulting from corroded crimped joints i'll recommend soldering. unless its a oxygen sensor

Was merely a wild guess Chris. I've no idea! You know better than me!

Show me any soldered wiring terminals on a production cars ecu wiring Soldering makes the wire prone to breakage with the vibrations a car endures, right by the joint. Proper heat sealed, adhesive lined crimps (Raychem) won't corrode at all, even underwater. 90% of the time soldered joints inside the car will be fine, but very iffy under the bonnet, near the engine, IMHO.

Chris out of curiosity mate if i landed on your doorstep with my supra and asked you to wire in my ecu how much would you charge,no one on your back, no rush for the car to be returned etc etc
