F22c in AP1
Whats up guys, I finally got my first tune today. For those of you that dont know my "set-up" it's nothing special. In fact, it's only average, however, the factor that makes it unique is that it's MY first dyno tune. Thanks John from LHT!!! With his accent and boyish charm, John made my first time I mean tune a big deal....to me hahahaha no homo
Enough small talk on to the "business"....
I have a F22c in my AP1(2005 F22c engine with K&N drop-in and hondata intake heatshield, LHT custom test pipe, AP1 clutch/flywheel AP1 2003 ECU, AP1 2003 transmission, and AP1 diff) tuned with Apexi VAFC 2, tuner was John from LHT Performance
Today, on the first pull, I made 192whp untuned. I cant remember the torque number sorry, please understand I was too excited....Ive "heard" that when doing the F22c swap into a AP1, particularly the 2002-03 models,you should/need to either A
urchase an AP1 2001 ECU w/VAFC or Burchase VAFC. From what I gathered from previous threads on the F22c Swap, you need the older richer(00-01) AP1 ECU because the newer (02-03) AP1 ECU's run leaner. Well today, that fact was incorrect, in fact I was rich very rich multi-million dollar rich @ WOT(I'm RICH B****...rich) Every car is different I guess....moving on....
Final numbers ended up being 224.73whp and 156.66wtq on the dynojet
Before tune
After tuning
Thanks guys :tip wink:
Update: Installed and running Hondata Kpro with 60mm test pipe currently on AP1 basemap

Great numbers, especially sense this is using a VAFC.
The first pull is VERY rich and choppy. The final tune looks great but it still seems to be a little on the rich side. I wanna see how an EMS would compare.

this has also started more questions in my mind like what if I had EMS (more control more to gain)
