PorscheBoost wrote about the BMS (Burger Tuning) JB4 being available for the Porsche 991.2 9A2B6 3.0 turbo motor a few months back. Since then BMS has shipped plenty of JB4 boxes to Porsche customers and it is always great to read a first hand review. ...Published on 09-20-2019 10:03 AM
Exactly what kind of voodoo is at work here? To the knowledge of VWBoost this is the first and only MKVII Volkswagen Golf R to top 600 horsepower at all four wheels on the factory 2.0 EA888 engine internals. ...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. ...Published on 09-20-2019 09:12 AM
There will be those who debate whether this is 700 crank horsepower or not depending on drivetrain losses but that is not where BenzBoost will focus. How about the fact that this 2.0 liter AMG M133 motor is making 542 horsepower to all four wheels with a hybrid turbocharger? ...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. ...Published on 09-20-2019 08:26 AM
Well, this is somewhat amusing. Tesla is making all sorts of bold claims based on laptimes from prototypes yet somehow is very quiet on what went wrong with their test car on the Nurburgring which needed to be towed off the famous track. ...Published on 09-20-2019 08:11 AM
Weren't numbers already posted for Gintani's Ferrari 488 Pista tune? Yes, three months back. The graph posted then was from a Mustang dynamometer and BoostAddict definitely loves to see more data from different dyno types. ...Published on 09-19-2019 03:12 PM
If you want as much flow as possible going to your 2.5 TFSI turbo you are going to want this four inch turbo inlet from Unitronic. This is a new design with a 28% increase over stock. Whether you have a factory turbo or hybrid upgrade this will apply to you and is completely bolt in. ...Published on 09-19-2019 02:41 PM
You already knew flex-fuel ethanol support was coming from Dyno Spectrum and their DS1 software suite for the Audi 4.0 TFSI V8. Well, much like their McLaren map switching using the tach the same capability is coming to the Audi 4.0 TFSI V8. ...Published on 09-19-2019 01:32 PM
ESMotor turbo kits certainly are proven at this point on the 991 Turbo platform. This is a 2014 Porsche 991.1 Turbo S with an ES750RS setup that is on the stock internal 3.8 liter flat-6 motor. @Emre@Esmotor tuned it on 93 octane and MS109 fuel. ...Published on 09-19-2019 12:25 PM
It is in the opinion of BimmerBoost that the M2 Competition is clearly the superior performance car to the new Toyota Supra. It has the better engine in the S55 I6. It has the better transmission options as you can get a manual or a DCT rather than have an automatic forced on you. ...Published on 09-19-2019 11:55 AM
Klasen states they have 1000+ horsepower options for single turbo Audi 4.0 TFSI V8 conversations but thus far all they posted was a tiny and hard to read low resolution graph. They are doing more single turbo conversations and state the Garrett G42-1200 turbocharger is at the heart of it. ...Published on 09-19-2019 11:42 AM
Incredible numbers here from a Dyno Spectrum tuned McLaren 600LT. You likely recall this same 600LT topped out at 767 horsepower to the rear wheels on the factory fuel injectors. Well, take a look at the numbers now with upgraded Injector Dynamics ID1300's. ...Published on 09-19-2019 11:04 AM
Throttle house got two popular performance cars together for a track comparison. Those being the Mustang GT which is the value choice here and the new Toyota Supra. Both are rear wheel drive, both are automatic, and both have huge fan followings. ...Published on 09-19-2019 10:43 AM
If you want to improve the performance of your B9 S4 and S5 you will want to pay attention to the mod list here. Frankly, the B9 generation Audi S4 and S5 underwhelm in stock form. Fortunately, the twin scroll single turbocharger is easy to reach. ...
