This E30 belongs to BimmerBoost member @djborya and it is indeed nasty. We all saw it in action just a couple months back when it ran an incredible 8.229 @ 166.91. Well, it went quicker and faster with an 8.143 @ 170.56 miles per hour in the 1/4 mile. ...Published on 10-15-2019 01:11 PM
There will those who find this result hard to believe. For those people, BimmerBoost would like to remind them that this JB4 tuned X4M with a bit of ethanol managed a 10.8 @ 126.3 miles per hour and a 60-130 sprint of 8.51 as timed by GPS. ...Published on 10-12-2019 12:13 AM
You saw many S55's break into the 10's direct injection only but never an N55 despite being on the market much longer. Well, it finally happened and the N55 is in the 10's without any methanol or port injection assistance. ...Published on 10-11-2019 08:02 PM
One of the (few) good things Car and Driver does these days is the Lightning Lap which is possible thanks to their resources. This year has a good field but it is missing a few notables namely the C8 Corvette, Mustang GT500, and Ferrari 488 Pista. ...Published on 10-10-2019 05:43 PM
You may recall BimmerBoost announced VTT (Vargas Turbo Technologies) was working on a 'GC' cast B58 turbo upgrade a few months back. Well, here it is. The B58 GC turbo from VTT features a GTX3076R compressor wheel. ...Published on 10-09-2019 11:37 PM
You saw this built motor B58 engine get put together by Papadakis Racing the other day and the goal is 1000+ horsepower. We now get some beauty still shots of the motor which show off the manifold design and just the detail work on the motor. ...Published on 10-09-2019 11:23 PM
Add another 1000+ horsepower S55 to the the list. This time it is a BMW F82 M4 built by Cedar Performance in Dallas running KRATORS KRAS55Bi turbochargers which at this point are provent as 1000+ whp capable on multiple S55's. ...Published on 10-08-2019 10:23 PM
Impressive output out of this BMW F87 M2 when you consider it is not a competition model and it has the old N55B30T0 motor. The turbo was swapped out for a Borg Warner 8374 turbocharger and boy does it make a difference. ...Published on 10-08-2019 10:01 PM
This is the halo car for four-door BMW performance. Say hello the BMW F93 M8 Gran Coupe and the M8 Gran Coupe Competition. The powertrain is exactly the same as the M8 Coupe and Convertible models and BMW will of course milk the platform for what it is worth. ...Published on 10-08-2019 09:03 PM
Well, these guys work fast and the work is top notch. As you already know Papadakis Racing began this project with a B58B30C teardown video from their 2020 MKV Supra. They then went into the quality of parts and why they chose the parts they did for the B58 build. ...Published on 10-07-2019 10:35 PM
This is great news for tuning newer turbo BMW's with the ZF 8HPXX automatic gearboxes. AutoTuner cracked the TCU (transmission control unit) and it will be up to tuners to implement TCU tuning which should now accelerate greatly. ...Published on 10-07-2019 07:41 PM
This is the first documented failure of a tuned Supra B58 motor. Why did it fail? Who knows. BMW is being blamed by the person doing the work here but that seems like a bit of a stretch with tuning and fueling limitations more likely to be the reason. ...Published on 10-07-2019 07:12 PM
Great results here for the RB GF (Game Finisher) N54 hybrid turbochargers. You will be hard pressed to find better hybrid results as the 93 octane 25 psi figure shows 582.9 horsepower to the wheels which to BimmerBoost's knowledge is the N54 pump gas power record. ...Published on 10-03-2019 07:22 PM
Well, BMW tuners are increasingly offering Supra support which is great to see. MHD released their latest version 1.42 which BMW F-Series and G-Series updates as well as B58 tuning support for the new A90/MKV 2020 on Toyota Supra. ...Published on 10-01-2019 05:20 PM
You likely saw this special needs teenage girl being paraded about recently as a climate expert. Why some girl who should be in school is going around lecturing people in Europe and North America that they will cause mass extinction in a decade is anyone's guess but maybe she should take her message to Chinese or Indian factories. ...
Variable compression engine possible thanks...
This sounds absolutely fascinating but...
