APE Automotive

Aj’s FD block all together now. Ape supplied with brand new housings.

Secondary bridgeport, bigger intake and exhaust ports, extra dowels and SCR apex seals. We also supplied our uprated clutch and flywheel package to put that power to the wheels!

Should be a nice FD once the bays painted and this motors in.

beautiful S8 rx7 rolled in purring away with a stock motor. Now it leaves with a Ape built bridgeport motor!

The usual street package we do includes enlarged exhaust and intake ports, bridgport, extra dowels, unbreakable apex seals, race balanced and clearanced. This one also got some brand new housings! A nice 6puk clutch kit to put the power down too.

Runs a few goodies that were already done by previous shops. Garrett g40 turbo, artec turbo manifold, turbosmart wastegate and fuel regulator.

440hp on 16psi pump 98 fuel. All controlled through a Haltech 1500

What an awesome ending to this weekend at ! .bokchoi and I taking out the stand out burnouts and whats even more cool is Ape Automotive winning a trophy for top shop at this event! Many do not understand the amount of work behind the scene we do to maintain these cars! So it was very nice to be recognised!

We would not have won anything today if it wasn’t for my TEAM! My family and friends is what makes us! You know who you all are! There were a few ape stickered cars out and I hope you all enjoyed every single one. Many could not make it but theres always next time.

The Avenger… many awesome comments on how well it looked with a fresh paint! Thank you for the mad hours in prepping and painting it! We love it! Thank you to his wife Rachel for dropping off the bonnet last minute friday!

Jayson from fleet tyres and Alex Automotive Limited for hooking me and Mathew up with tyres for the weekend!
bokchoi and always going out their way for us for anything I need! Not for just this event! It’s always!

Always great yarns with the boys and girls and we met alot of great people and we would like to say thank you for having the time to chat to us!

MADFD ready for the season with a few upgrades this time! After nearly 2 years of death we pulled down the motor and we were very impressed how well it looked!

Sam from gearbox solutions rebuilt the gearbox as 4th was popping out of gear at times.

New water/meth kit, eboost and a new 66mm borge warner turbo that was the same we had before

New intercooler fabed up by Din at spec2 and a nice ProMuff muffler thats now flowing well!

420hp low boost and 517hp on high. She sounds amazing and was just slaying tyres at clubfest! Check out .bokchoi for the crazyness he gets up to!
