The 1000+ rear wheel horsepower S55 tuning era is in full swing as this independently built F82 M4 shows. The owner went to Carbahn Auto Works (the new Dinan venture) and picked up a low compression built S55 short bock which Cedar Performance in Dallas installed. ...Published on 05-22-2019 04:55 PM
Another day, another 800+ wheel horsepower BMW S55. This one is a BMW F82 M4 which features a Maximum PSI built S55 motor (you will definitely want to build your motor at this level) along with the Maximum PSI S55 crank hub kit. ...Published on 05-22-2019 03:44 PM
Goodyear released some new high end rubber called the Eagle Supsport R and Eagle Supersport RS. The R is supposed to be more of a streetable high grip tire which likely will rival the Toyo R888R and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2. ...Published on 05-22-2019 01:52 PM
The Dallas News reports the state senate passed a bill which will outlaw red light cameras in Texas. The governor is expected to sign the bill into law which will make Texas the 11th state to ban the use of red light cameras. ...Published on 05-21-2019 09:41 PM
Tomioka Racing is entering the crowded BMW N54 turbo upgrade marketplace with their group up turbocharger upgrade. There is no core exchange needed here. Their offering consists of a 15T, 16T, and 19T turbo upgrades. ...Published on 05-21-2019 09:25 PM
Wiseco pistons posted a great article explaining the purpose and function of the second piston ring. Many engine builders and engineers read this site and already know these details but for the rest of us who aren't experts there is some great technical piston and ring info in the article below. ...Published on 05-21-2019 08:41 PM
This is solid power on the stock fuel system and stock turbo out of the BMW B58 turbo 3.0 liter inline-6. This is an FBO (full bolt on) example running an ethanol blend roughly working out to E60 fuel. ...Published on 05-21-2019 04:50 PM
Just kidding, this does not shock anybody except Car and Driver. BMW underrating their motors is nothing new and of course Toyota was not about to dial the B58 down lower than any B58 powered BMW models. ...Published on 05-17-2019 06:26 PM
MHD's B58 release for F-Series and G-Series BMW's is showing some great results. MHD provided dyno results on a Dynojet rom this BMW F22 M240i stock, on 93 octane pump gas with their Stage 1, and with their Stage 2 tune also on 93 octane pump gas. ...Published on 05-17-2019 04:51 PM
Many BimmerBoost readers may be unaware of SRM (Silly Rabbit Motorsport). You see more of their products on the AudiBoost side and their 4.0 TFSI and 2.5 TFSI upgrades are well regarded and showing some impressive numbers. Well, now they are tackling the BMW S63TU and S63TU2 V8 twin turbo motors. ...Published on 05-17-2019 04:12 PM
Yes, some stock internal S55's made more power than this but the motor likely will not last very long namely if the tuner is not very skilled. If you want to reliably make power in the upper 700's and beyond to the wheels on an S55 it is advisable to get the bottom end built with some forged pieces plus address the crank hub. ...Published on 05-16-2019 10:05 PM
BimmerBoost does not focus much on professional drifting (we prefer for our tires to hook up with a lot of power to go straight, not go up in smoke sideways) but it leads to some interesting builds and engine swaps. The Red Baron Racing F22 228i certainly qualifies as interesting. ...Published on 05-16-2019 05:12 PM
The new Supra is polarizing to say the least. Whether you are a fan of Toyota reskinning a Z4 or not the B58 carryover is big for BMW and Toyota tuners alike. So exactly how quick is the new Toyota Supra and how does the B58 under the hood sound? ...Published on 05-16-2019 04:07 PM
The S55 finally is in the 9's on stock internals and some congratulations are in order. First of all, this is the same F80 M3 that you may recall ran 10.1 @ 142.2 earlier this month setting the stock internal BMW S55 quickest and fastest record. ...Published on 05-15-2019 10:11 PM
Nice to see some higher powered BMW S55's and Mercedes M177's go at it. The W205 C63 AMG S you see in the video has the Weistec W.4 package. You have seen it featured on BenzBoost and it runs 140+ trap speeds in the 1/4 mile. ...
