Default APS TT tuner kit release specifics

Here are the details on the APS Tuner TT kit to be released.

Hi Guys,

It's official, the APS twin turbo system will be available in the US from Nov 05.

This new spec APS twin turbo system is APS's response to customer demand, a more flexible twin turbo system, which allows the owner to specify his preferred brand of fuel supply and engine management product.

Guys who want the total capability and responsibility of tuning the APS twin turbo tuner system (be it by a full stand alone engine management computer (like Motec, Autronic, HKS, etc, etc or an interceptor style computer (Unichip, emanage, etc, etc) will now have the opportunity to do so.

The product specification of the new APS twin turbo tuner system is fundamentally the current APS twin turbo system (which is very reliable and well proven) less the entire APS fuel supply system and Unichip plug in computer.

The Garrett boost control actuators on the tuner system have been upgraded from 7 PSI to 12 PSI units, with a true high flow TD exhaust system and test pipes (APS TD 2.5 or 3 inch system recommended) and used in conjunction with some form electronic boost control, up to 18 PSI turbo pressure should be possible from the APS twinturbo tuner system.

This APS tuner system PN will only be available for a limited time, thereafter the APS tuner system will include an end user tuneable APS stand alone engine management computer. Obviously the MSRP will then reflect the inclusion of the APS stand alone computer.

In addition, a number of APS designed fuel systems will also be released over the coming months. In our view this will be the perfect partner for the APS twin turbo tuner system, happy boosting guys.

Peter

So let me get this straight, the "tuner kit" is the kit w/out the fuel injectors, fuel pressure regulator, fuel computer and the electronic boost controller. The actuators are 12 PSI (but can be set down to 7 PSI if need be, like for stock internals). The upcoming system with the standalone will have all that stuff(injectors, etc), but will be user programmable for any boost level up to 18 PSI. PLease correct me if I did not understand it right. Now, as per the system with the standalone, can it be programmed for multiple maps (like for lets say 5 PSI, 8 PSI and 12 PSI) to be intercangable by the driver? And what is the ballpar figure on it's price? If this my understanding is correct and not altered by wishful thinking, then congatulations on creating the ablsolutely PERFECT tubro kit for the Z.

I asked Peter about some of these questions. The actuators are 12lbs now and not 7lbs. This kit is not for stock internals. The standalone unit has not been named yet and my questions as to brand and price have been unanswered. No word on multiple maps yet.

The Tuner kit is the APS Twin Turbo kit WITHOUT the ECM,and Fuel system.This kit is being released for those who wish to utilize their OWN fuel management(Greddy,Utec,Motec) and fuel system (AAM,CJM) and were *****ing about the UniChip.It is a "limited" production run and thereafter the APS kits will come with engine management.APS is also working on a "standalone" type ECM for the Z, most likely for those with BUILT motors and high HP needs.
everyone on this site would know this had APS not been banned..

I am really pleased with APS's decision to market a tuner kit. They recognized the need to have a tuner kit, and allow the consumer to select the engine management and fuel system of their choice.

Once these kits are released, most people will be mating them with a return fuel system, larger injectors, and an eManage Ultimate, or a UTEC once the beta testing is complete.

We will be carrying the tuners kits as soon as they are available in the states. MSRP is $6295, and we always offer free shipping.

by your comment...of, "oh really, are you an authorized aps dealer?"...i wasn't sure if there was different levels to distributing aps products..didn't know if you were implying that you were maybe a head honcho of aps products or something..so i was wondering who you were in the distributing branch (i assume you are a dealer of somesort, you offered earlier in this thread that you could supply this new aps kit)..if i read it wrong, sorry for the confusion..difficult to sense tone and sarcasm or whatnot on a forum.

FI is not an APS dealer as we are not either. Sometimes it's worth while to go through large US stocking dealers then messing with ordering directly from international companies.

This is true, however APS is VERY strict about dealer margins and if they find out WHO is selling products to FI they will not be happy, since FI undercuts the rest of the legitimate US dealers in pricing and advertises "lowes prices on APS".This is bad overall for business and bad for APS as a company.

Any company can sell APS product. I am not an APS dealer, and never implied that I was... rather, I am an active reseller. As Speed Dreams mentioned, being a resellers gives us a little more flexibility, and allows us to partner with several different APS dealers for product.

And believe me, 10sec, our prices are actually a bit "higher" then some of those authorized dealers out there. Although they advertise MSPR, give them a PM and you will get a better price. I offer free shipping, which the other authrized dealers do, and $100 bucks off. And how is this bad for APS? We also offer a very high level of technical and customer support. I do appreciate your input...but you are way off on this one, IMHO.

anybody who even attempts to critisize sharif (forgedinternals.com) in any way shape or form is definately out of line ...
take a poll on this forum or any other 350z forum and sharif will be praised as one of the most (if not THE most) helpful and knowledgable people out there!
Don't even try to attempt to talk trash because of "not an authorized dealer"... most performance companies out there have HORRIBLE customer support and very little knowledge about their own product!.. Many a time, myself and hundreds others have contacted Sharif after searching everywhere trying to get an answer on some technical/tuning/-you name it- question...to only find that we should have contacted him in the first - as he has the answer because either he has either personally done it/seen it/ or can consult with CP Racing to pull from their vast data base to find the answer.

So, 10sec..my question of asking "who are you" was really saying WHO the HELL ARE YOU to take a stab at forgedinternals? I've don't remember seeing any posts coming from you with new breakthroughs or any answers to my questions...Honestly, I know certain items I can get cheaper elsewhere, but I know for a fact that Sharif will provide the customer support necessary to guide me through the proper usage/install of such product...
And these turbo kits are not the items that keep performance coimpanies or shops in business...so I'm not sure what you are complaining about..the profitn margins are typically very low on these high dollar items...it is the sale of accessories/ availability of accessories/ and know-how of what accessories need to work together that pull in the profit.

Provide EXCELLENT customer service and become knowledgable in the products that you are selling and you will be busy and stay afloat!
(damn, I should have been a salesman...naw I'll stick to my job )
