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. ...Published on 10-01-2019 04:52 PM
HeadGames is well known for their performance cylinder head work on this network. Recently they got a hold of a BMW B58 cylinder head from a MKV Toyota Supra. We did not get the full flow bench figures but did get some interesting insight. ...Published on 10-01-2019 03:21 PM
If you missed a previous article on TTE Global go ahead and click here to read about Europe's largest hybrid turbo vendor. As this is predominantly a US based board most N54 enthusiasts go with American vendors. It is always nice to see results from other options though. ...Published on 09-27-2019 09:23 PM
These are some very impressive pump gas figures considering they come at a claimed 22 psi on 91 octane fuel from a 335xi running Tomioka Racing 16T N54 turbochargers. The output is 532 horsepower and 548 lb-ft of torque at all four wheels. ...Published on 09-27-2019 08:12 PM
Car and Driver got their hands on four very hot cars in the ~60k price range. Amazingly, yes, you can put the 718 Cayman and Ford GT350 Mustang in the same sentence if going by their base price. The GT350 is actually the more expensive car in that case. ...Published on 09-26-2019 05:07 PM
You are going to be seeing more and more quality tuners switching to ECUtek's software for BMW tuning. AMR Performance is well known on this network especially with their Mercedes-AMG tuning work and they recently tackled a BMW F87 M2. ...Published on 09-25-2019 05:32 PM
Dynamometers are machines which are a tool for the automotive industry. Enthusiasts often fight wars on forums over dyno numbers and those numbers are just part of a much larger picture. Recently, dyno numbers from Equilibrium Tuning and their output claims on a Volkswagen MKVII Golf R raised eyebrows. ...Published on 09-25-2019 04:27 PM
Pure Turbos sure has a lot of great results to cite on the S55 platform with their hybrid turbochargers. This F80 M3 features a Pure Turbos Stage 2 setup and to be noted it is on the factory S55 engine internals, factory DCT transmission, and factory fuel system. ...Published on 09-25-2019 03:25 PM
Remember the utterly absurd California exhaust noise law (A.B. 1824) that would allow law enforcement to fine you $1000 for an exhaust deemed too loud? Motorists would receive an instant fine rather than a 'fix-it' ticket to address the issue. ...Published on 09-25-2019 02:32 PM
Some great tuned German and American boosted V8 action here. Obviously the Hellcat V8 is a larger motor at 6.2 liters than the 4.4 liter BMW S63TU design and utilizes a twin screw supercharger rather than a pair of turbochargers. ...Published on 09-24-2019 02:26 PM
This sounds absolutely fascinating but frankly the engineering involved is way beyond our pay grade. In essence it seems this articulated rod can move and change the position of the piston which then impacts the compression ratio. ...Published on 09-24-2019 01:48 PM
An impressive result here from the Germans at Sport Auto who tested the new 2020 BMW M2 CS model on the Hockenheim GP circuit. It is important to note of course the car is wearing Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires in 245/35 R19 front and 265/35 R19 sizes and has more power than your standard M2 Competition and carries less weight. ...Published on 09-24-2019 01:30 PM
We see some incredible output numbers from S55's these days but the stock turbochargers certainly can provide plenty of punch as evidenced by this F80 M3. How about 641 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels? ...Published on 09-20-2019 09:41 AM
Another day and another drag race video involving the new Supra. This one unfortunately is pure clickbait. For whatever reason the Supra is getting compared with the Mustang quite often likely because they both represent a performance value although the Mustang GT is much cheaper and not facing any markup nonsense. ...The effect of unsprung weight on acceleration - 40-100, 60-100 testing with lighter wheels and tires
Published on 09-20-2019 08:54 AM
We all know lighter wheels and tires have an impact on performance. Reducing weight that rotates has a geometric effect. That is why you want to reduce unsprung weight as much as possible as the performance benefit multiplies to a greater degree than just reducing overall car mass by the same amount. ...
