You saw the impressive GPS numbers and dyno plot for this Stage 4 W213 Mercedes-AMG E63 S over on BenzBoost. It is a roughly ~140 mph trap car that is putting out 936 horsepower and 802 lb-ft of torque. ...Published on 10-11-2019 09:13 PM
This is just a very simple comparison showing the stock Audi 8V RS3 sedan at the dragstrip compared to a subsequent run with the APR Stage I 91 octane ECU software. Keep in mind the 91 octane tune is the most mild Stage I software APR offers for the 2.5 TFSI. ...Published on 10-11-2019 08:33 PM
You may have noticed Porsche went from 3.0 liters turbocharged to 4.0 liters naturally aspirated with the 9A2B6 engine design for the new 718 Boxster Spyder and Cayman GT4 models. They designed the motor with this modular flexibility in mind. ...Published on 10-11-2019 08:02 PM
One of the (few) good things Car and Driver does these days is the Lightning Lap which is possible thanks to their resources. This year has a good field but it is missing a few notables namely the C8 Corvette, Mustang GT500, and Ferrari 488 Pista. ...Published on 10-10-2019 05:43 PM
You may recall BimmerBoost announced VTT (Vargas Turbo Technologies) was working on a 'GC' cast B58 turbo upgrade a few months back. Well, here it is. The B58 GC turbo from VTT features a GTX3076R compressor wheel. ...Published on 10-10-2019 04:52 PM
Why do people straightline race Porsche 911 GT3's? The car is quick by virtue of its light weight and high strung naturally aspirated flat-6 but Porsche makes turbocharged 911's for power junkies that want straightline speed. ...Published on 10-10-2019 04:34 PM
@Emre@Esmotor sure is tuning a lot of fast stock internal Porsche 911 Turbos as of late. This is a 991.2 Turbo S running a Syvecs standalone. It has the ESMotor ES850R turbo kit which propels it to 9.232 @ 151.09 in the 1/4 mile. ...Published on 10-10-2019 12:11 AM
The new W177 generation A45 AMG S boasts a beast of a four-cylinder motor in the form of the AMG 416 horsepower 2.0 liter M139 I4. It is quick in a straight line thanks to all wheel drive and a dual clutch transmission but how does the baby AMG handle? ...Published on 10-09-2019 11:37 PM
You saw this built motor B58 engine get put together by Papadakis Racing the other day and the goal is 1000+ horsepower. We now get some beauty still shots of the motor which show off the manifold design and just the detail work on the motor. ...Published on 10-09-2019 11:23 PM
Add another 1000+ horsepower S55 to the the list. This time it is a BMW F82 M4 built by Cedar Performance in Dallas running KRATORS KRAS55Bi turbochargers which at this point are provent as 1000+ whp capable on multiple S55's. ...Published on 10-09-2019 11:04 PM
The M278 is the forgotten Mercedes twin turbo V8. Why? Well, it is not an AMG motor and its M157 big brother stole all the spotlight. Today the M177 gets all the attention but that just means the M278 is a very, very good buy in the used market. ...Published on 10-09-2019 10:53 PM
We are going to keep hurling superlatives at this platform because it just keeps earning them. How about a low 10-second car that you can daily drive? That is what this is as we have a full weight, street trim, and street tire RS3 trapping over 140 miles per hour. ...Published on 10-09-2019 10:43 PM
Maybe a little late to the party here but nice to have options. They bill this as a value in the Porsche aftermarket and that is true to a degree but $2195 for a cat-back system is not cheap. This is a completely bolt in, plug and play affair. ...Published on 10-09-2019 10:13 PM
This Golf engine swap is becoming more and more popular and why should it not? The 2.5 TFSI fits and works with the MKVII electronics and DSG transmission assuming you have a competent tuner. Just last week a MKVI Golf R with a 2.5 TFSI swap was posted. ...Published on 10-08-2019 10:41 PM
This W213 Mercedes-AMG E63 S is modified by GAD Motos who tunes some of the most powerful AMG's on the planet. This W213 E63 AMG S is modified with their Stage 4 package which is producing a monster 1000+ horsepower E63. ...
