Nearly 125 mile per hour out of the Mercedes-AMG M276 DELA30 twin turbo V6 is impressive. As is the new quickest and fastest record for the W205 C43 AMG platform. The icing on the cake is that it was achieved on the factory turbochargers. ...Published on 10-21-2019 04:01 PM
This was to be expected but it certainly is nice to see. Congratulations to Advanced Modern Performance for pulling off and it seems they did it with the factory TVS2650 supercharger which just goes to show the headroom in that blower. ...Doc Race top mount MKV/A90 Supra B58 turbo kit nearing completion - BorgWarner EFR 9280 turbocharger

Doc Race is working on their top mount MKV/A90 Toyota Supra B58 top mount turbo kit. The kit features as of now a BorgWarner EFR 9280 single turbocharger but other turbo options are expected despite the tight fit. ...Published on 10-21-2019 03:21 PM
It sure looks like BMW is covering up some giant nostrils on the upcoming 2021 G80 generation M3. Will the new M3 sedan have a similar kidney grill design to the G22 (G82) 4-Series Concept car that BMW recently unveiled? ...Published on 10-21-2019 03:05 PM
How is this for an argument for Volkswagen to give the Golf R the 2.5 TFSI inline-5 motor? It is a shame it does not come this way from the factory but this 2.5 TFSI EA8555 EVO swapped Volkswagen Golf R managed to break into the 8-second second range in the 1/4 mile. ...Published on 10-21-2019 02:06 PM
MotorTrend, this is what you guys do for a living? Seriously? BoostAddict.com stated for some time now that World Motorsports sets their Mustang Dynamometer to read like a Dynojet or higher. It is not consistent at all. It is somewhat infuriating as it leads to nonsense like this from MotorTrend. ...Published on 10-21-2019 01:16 PM

This is a major win for farmers selling corn who lobbied the Trump administration regarding larger purchases of ethanol. What does this mean for car enthusiasts? It means more ethanol. You will see more ethanol in your gasoline and E15 will see greater adoption. ...Published on 10-20-2019 10:55 AM
We are nearing the Porsche 992 generation 911 Turbo reveal. This latest test mule was spotted uncovered doing some lap testing. Based on the exhaust design, this is the Turbo S model which is expected to receive a minor bump in horsepower. ...Published on 10-19-2019 03:33 PM
Just a few days ago Iroz Motorsport set the global 2.5 TFSI 1/4 mile record with their 8V RS3 sedan shop car. It seems @HankIroz was not satisfied and he improved the overall record to 8.432 seconds @ 168.09 miles per hour. ...Published on 10-19-2019 12:41 PM
The idea of a compressor powered by electricity is nothing new. Mass adoption of a turbo that uses electricity to instantly spin the compressor before having to wait for exhaust gases certainly would be new. That is what Garrett promises with the E-Turbo set to hit the market in 2021. ...Published on 10-18-2019 12:05 PM
The review below is from BenzBoost Mercedes-AMG Automotive Performance Forums member 5soko who purchased Renntech's HHT. The HHT is a handheld tuning device which allows you to flash your car at home in the comfort of your garage through the OBD-II port. ...Published on 10-18-2019 11:34 AM
Remember back in 2018 when the stock internal S55 record was set by an F80 M3 running the KRATOS KRASSBi turbochargers? Well, this F80 M3 joins that car in clearing the 800 wheel horsepower stock internal S55 barrier. ...Published on 10-18-2019 11:11 AM
That did not feel like it took any time at all. Speedy Mufflers and Performance in Puerto managed the first 9-second run and no doubt this will be followed by 9-second runs at NHRA accredited strips in the USA. ...Published on 10-18-2019 10:14 AM
You see more M5's at the dragstrip these days because, well, BMW made it into a hell of a dragster. All wheel drive with a twin turbo V8 that leaves room for tuners to work with makes for a potent drag racing platform despite the wolf in sheep's clothing luxury exterior and interior. ...
Variable compression engine possible thanks...
This sounds absolutely fascinating but...
