I'm looking into buying an ap1 s2000 with the idea of doing a turbo setup on stock block and go for 11's is this realistic? I searched and seems like there are guys running those times and I've read the ap1 is a solid motor but is it anything like the VQ35 where around 400whp it gets iffy and even at that its not really reliable.

Realistic. Look to pay at least 15K after said and done for a reliable setup. May cost more than the car itself. And then there's the used budget build...

Check FI section..

no offense, but the VQ35 motor is junk...the F series motors in the S is much, much more reliable and takes to boost extremely well...400 hp is nothing...there are guys running 500, 600+ hp on stock motors with no issue

no offense but i think you're full of shit

His post is right though. I have had 2 friends boost their 350z's to the 400 hp range and blew up both their motors within weeks of the install. Everything was professionally installed and tuning was done by a reputable guy as well. They later found out the VQ35 motor is not reliable after a certain point.

I think he was calling BS on 500-600whp S2000s without issues. Any 600whp S2000 that doesn't have an issue will have one in the future.
