It is hard to take the Toyota Supra seriously as a driver's car when the only transmission option is an automatic. Let's be real, it is automatic only because the G29 Z4 is automatic only and Toyota is not about to spend money they do not need to. Well, there are hardcore enthusiasts who will not let this stand and who decided to swap in a manual on their own. ...Published on 10-30-2019 04:12 PM
If you want to fit a big single turbo to your MKV/A90 Toyota Supra B58, this is a good way to go about it. You may recall that Full Race was responsible for the turbo manifold on the Papadakis Racing 1000+ horsepower Supra B58 build. ...Published on 10-30-2019 03:34 PM
RaceChip posted some S58 tuning data which is much appreciated as we all eagerly anticipate the introduction of the BMW G80 M3. The S58 drivetrain of the G80 M3 is previewed essentially in the F97 X3M and F98 XM SUV's and we are already seeing solid tuning numbers. Check out the dyno and acceleration data from RaceChip below. ...Published on 10-30-2019 02:25 PM
Finding good fuel for those days when you want to hit the roadcourse, dragstrip, or 1/2 mile event is not as easy as most people think. Pump E85 is great but it variest in ethanol content and when your car is in kill mode you want consistency and reliability. Enter ETS Racing Fuels. ...Published on 10-30-2019 01:52 PM
There we go. Isn't that better? Isn't it better when an M3 looks like a BMW? What did we do you ask? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It is simply a picture of the M-Performance equipped G20 M340i and its subtle yet elegant aero pieces. ...Published on 10-29-2019 07:33 PM
This is what you see shared on social media and people eat it up. The tuner claims this is a factory turbo B58 Supra on a 91 octane tune with some ethanol. Well, you are not getting 642+ lb-ft of torque at the wheels out of the factory turbocharger. ...Published on 10-29-2019 02:27 PM
It is not a joke BMW played on us. The pre-production leaks of the G80 M3 front end with the huge vertical kidney grills and the rear end are indeed accurate as confirmed by the head of the BMW M division Markus Flasch. ...Published on 10-28-2019 07:34 PM
This is why the switch to the S55 motor is so big for the BMW F87 M2 platform. It is also why Car and Driver writing that the M2 Competition 'Doesn't Perform Any Better' was such a joke. Look at what some simple bolt on tuning does for an M2 Competition. ...Published on 10-28-2019 04:11 PM
The upper edge of boost only factory turbo MKV Supras seemed to be about 124-125 miles per of hour of trap speed in the 1/4 mile. There were those that hit 128+ on the factory turbo but that was done with nitrous. So how is this car doing ~128 without nitrous? ...Published on 10-28-2019 03:43 PM
Part of the problem in the aftermarket is finding companies that truly deliver as promised. Unfortunately, the tuning scene is filled with crooks but also many reputable companies that stand the test of time. ECS Tuning certainly is one that stood the test of time. ...Published on 10-26-2019 07:23 PM
Time sure flies, eh? There was a time when people said BimmerBoost.com would not make it a year, let alone ten. Well, in January, 2020 it will be the 10th anniversary of the BimmerBoost BMW Performance Forums and we're celebrating in grand style. ...Published on 10-26-2019 03:03 PM
This is an interesting development from TurboSource. Now variable A/R (Aspect Ratio) in a turbocharger is nothing new as that is exactly the idea behind VTG (Variable Turbine Geometry) turbochargers which Porsche is well known to use in production cars. ...Published on 10-26-2019 02:21 PM
This may not be as crazy as you think. Attitudes about performance wagons are changing and Audi bringing over the RS6 Avant for the first time ever to the USA signals changing tides in the market. ...Published on 10-25-2019 05:01 PM
G-Power is one of those names in the European tuning market that tends to be more about the brand name than numbers and results. In the USA, it has little impact and there are much better tuner values and better results in the M5 tuning scene. ...Published on 10-25-2019 02:27 PM
To date the main S55 performance cylinder head solution was from HeadGames also using Ferrea valve train components. Veicomer in Portugal is now offering what they refer to as an extreme race cylinder for the S55 platform. ...
