Well the unfortunate happend and I blew my AP1 engine due to the wastegate vacuum line melting resulting in overboosting to who knows how much psi.

I would ideally like to find another AP1 motor for a few reasons:
- 9000 redline I do favor...
- It would be a plug and play situation with my tune...
- wouldnt have to find another ECU...


AP2 Pros and cons:
- More torque resulting in getting to boost quicker/less lag
- lower stock redline? (not sure if you can safely resume 9000 redline)
- Is the .2L enough to need bigger injectors again? I have 600cc
- Would my AP1 transmission gearing work well with this motor?


Anyone have any input to this decision? I found an AP2 Motor for cheap but I dont know if its worth the hastle?

what you doin with your blown motor?

You should just send it to laskey for a rebuild and sleeve job, since you already have the core now.

What are "Laskey"s contacts? I would get it rebuilt but up here they charge an arm and a leg. My b-series motor I supplied the sleeved block, pistons, rods, head and all he did was put new bearings, gaskets, and do a valve job with new springs and the bill racked up to around $4200.

If you are going to get a new shortblock from honda the F20 is cheaper than the F22 as well. That is what made the decision for me.

For me its the other way around haha...I found a f22 for $1000 and cheapest I can find a f20 is $2500+shipping

I've got an AP1 motor I just pulled out with 62K that's going up for sale. Built the turbo motor first then pulled the stock.

Anyone have any input as to which motor is actually better for turbo app? I'm kind of caught up between the two as to which one to run. Will I have to get the AP2 ECU? I currently have a AP1 ECU + Greddy Emanage. Also is the ECU wiring any different on AP2?

I believe there was a post some time ago referencing AP2 using AP1 ECU. Try search function.

Checked it out, didnt say a whole lot other than the rpm limit which is obvious. I'm just wondering about ignition timing more than anything. Fuel Curve I can play with but if my ignition curve is all outta wack it would be a mess correcting it all in E-manage
