So if i'm getting this right, the ap1 can rev to 9k, but it's highly un-advisable, cause it will cause lots of damage? I plan to buy an ap1 next year and would like to be able to shift at 9k often, what would I have to do to make the engine strong enough to handle that?


PS I am a noob to the S2k scene, I was a big 350z fan, but to many ppl where i live drive them, so i'd rather have the rare car.

Also I would want to build the engine for a N/a tune setup.All info would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

Ok thanks for clearing that up for me, Couple other noob questions

1)What are the main differences b/t the ap1/ap2, I know ap2 has a 2.2L 8k rpm, and wider torque curve, which is really better and why? I dont want replies like "I have an ap1 it it owns ap2's or vice versa"

2)theres pretty much shit all for tuning shops where i live(vancouver B.C. area, except for a VW and Skyline place) What are a few good tuning shops in the Seattle area?

Thanks again!

(Replied to a deleted post)^Where did you get that info from? They're pretty much even depending on the driver. If and AP1 w/ gears lost to a stock AP2, either the driver of the AP1 couldn't drive or the driver of the AP2 drove really well.

Plug and play,but the mappinng would be off so you would need a vafc or aem ems etc....
I think you mean he would need VAFC or AFC or Emanage??? Isn't AEM a replacement programmable ECU? Not piggy back?

Correct AEM EMS is a replacement ECU not piggy back.
