The N63 always gets overshadowed by the S63 big brother but as BMW updated the N63 4.4 liter v8 over the years it gained considerable capability. The N63TU2 (N66B44M3) is the second technical update to the N63 architecture and it sees use in the 2017-2019 BMW G30 M550i xDrive. ...Published on 12-08-2019 03:11 PM
Remember when APR announced they cracked OBD-II port flashing without requiring a physical ECU unlock on the 991.2 platforms (and 718) with the Siemens SDI 21.X engine control unit? Well, it only took a couple days for this to be stolen. ...Published on 12-07-2019 01:28 AM
The APR Porsche onslaught continues! Remember, not too long ago APR announced they cracked Siemens SDI 21.X OBD-II port flashing meaning a physical unlock was not required. Now they are rolling out Porsche software tune after software tune with the 991.2 Turbo S being the latest Porsche recipient. ...Published on 12-07-2019 01:13 AM
As you know Doc Race already released their top mount B58 kit based around a BorgWarner EFR turbocharger for the new MKV/A90 Toyota Supra. The version for B58 equipped BMW vehicles such as the F22 240i, G20 340i, G22 440i, etc., followed after and here it is. ...Published on 12-06-2019 10:04 PM
Just a few months back we saw an F87 M2 lapping the Hockenheim GP circuit but that was an F87 M2 CS test mule. Sport Auto grabbed an F87 M2 Competition and also tested it on the Hockenheim GP track so we know exactly how much the CS edition picks up on the Competition. ...Published on 12-06-2019 09:22 PM
Well, we finally have a 10-second Audi RS5 and 10-second 2.9 liter EA839 V6. What is somewhat amusing is the 3.0 liter EA839 in the B9 S4 and S5 has the performance lead right now and it is not by a small margin. ...Published on 12-06-2019 08:56 PM
The Cannonball run is something of legend in American automotive circles and the famous coast to coast United States run spawned two movies in the 80's. These days, the endeavor is something people take on by themselves and it is more difficult than ever due to law enforcement. ...Published on 12-05-2019 08:05 PM
Now we are starting to cook with gas! Take a look at this very impressive Audi B9 S5 1/4 mile pass from an S5 EA839 3.0 with the Pure Turbos Stage 2 hybrid turbo upgrade. The car managed to hit 10.585 @ 134.39 miles per hour. ...Published on 12-05-2019 07:28 PM
You knew this was coming hot on the heels of the APR 718 software suite release. This is arguably the most impressive software release to date on the 991.2 9A2B6 3.0 platform and APR is providing considerable testing data along with being the first tuner to date so support OTS 100% E85 tuning. ...Published on 12-05-2019 07:22 PM
Great numbers here right in what is arguably the 'sweet spot' for the N54. This E92 335i belongs to BimmerBoost member @Lazyme870 and it has 160k+ miles on it. This car gets driven and with ~630 rear wheel horsepower must be a lot of fun. ...Published on 12-04-2019 07:03 PM
While we wait for the Porsche 992 GT3 and Turbo models to debut we are getting more 992 Carrera S test numbers. Sport Auto did a lap test of the new 911 Carrera S and it is impressive topping some strong cars but falling short of the 991 generation GT3's. ...Published on 12-04-2019 05:26 PM
APR is absolutely crushing it on the Porsche front. They are quickly becoming the premier option on modern Porsche platforms and you can expect a spate of releases in quick succession. We are kicking things off with their 982 718 9A2B4 tune. ...Published on 12-04-2019 04:30 PM
You might be saying, didn't TTE (The Turbo Engineers) release a B58 hybrid upgrade already? Yes, that was the TTE510 hybrid for the B58 from a few months back. This is a new TTE580 with more power capability. ...Published on 12-03-2019 06:40 PM
Here is yet another billet engine block option for the Audi/Lamborghini 5.2 liter V10 and it is from Heffner Performance in association with Fountain Race Engines. For those wondering, Fountain Race Engines is well known in the offshore powerboat racing scene. ...Published on 12-01-2019 04:22 PM
Congratulations to PorscheBoost Porsche Performance Forums member @8SecDD for raising the bar yet again. This was his record to lose and he improved upon his previous 8.60 @ 173.87 pass from a month ago in his ESMotor ES1200 tuned 991.1 Turbo S. ...
