Now that the 9A2B6 3.0 twin turbo flat-6 Porsche 911 models have some miles on them more owners are willing to modify their cars seeing what reliable and stout powerplants they have with plenty left in them to uncork. ...Published on 10-16-2019 09:05 AM
Iroz Motorsport improved upon their own record and to AudiBoost's knowledge this is not only the RS3 sedan record or 2.5 TFSI EVO/DAZA record but global overall 2.5 TFSI 1/4 mile record. That is quite an achievement. ...Published on 10-16-2019 08:04 AM
Yep, what you are seeing is a block with a hole torn in it thanks to a rod giving way and material flying out the side. It happens. This tuner originally said 900 Nm (663 lb-ft) would be fine but now they feel ~800 Nm (590-600 lb-ft) is a safer bet on a factory motor. ...Published on 10-16-2019 07:41 AM
This E30 belongs to BimmerBoost member @djborya and it is indeed nasty. We all saw it in action just a couple months back when it ran an incredible 8.229 @ 166.91. Well, it went quicker and faster with an 8.143 @ 170.56 miles per hour in the 1/4 mile. ...Published on 10-15-2019 02:13 PM
Here is yet another 2.5 TFSI on the factory turbocharger tuned by Unitronic running 9's in the 1/4 mile. The 9.972 @ 137.52 pass is not as quick or fast as the recently posted stock turbo record holding TT-RS but that is likely because this RS3 sedan is a bit heavier. ...Published on 10-15-2019 01:11 PM
There will those who find this result hard to believe. For those people, BimmerBoost would like to remind them that this JB4 tuned X4M with a bit of ethanol managed a 10.8 @ 126.3 miles per hour and a 60-130 sprint of 8.51 as timed by GPS. ...Published on 10-15-2019 12:04 PM
The Taycan Turbo and Turbo S models obviously cost a pretty penny. Porsche is introducing the cheaper and less powerful Taycan 4S which will take the battle to Tesla closer to the mid-range EV sedan level. ...Published on 10-15-2019 11:36 AM
This is absolutely insane performance out of the factory 2.5 TFSI turbocharger. Obviously you need the tuning to pair with it and that is where Unitronic comes in. They managed to get this factory turbo 8S Audi TT-RS to set a new record turning a 9.682 @ 142.54 1/4 mile. ...Published on 10-15-2019 11:18 AM
Want a bit more of an aggressive sound of your Mercedes-Benz S550 M278 4.7 liter twin turbo V8? Of course you do and Renntech has you covered with their exhaust suite for the platform (among other upgrades). ...Published on 10-12-2019 12:13 AM
You saw many S55's break into the 10's direct injection only but never an N55 despite being on the market much longer. Well, it finally happened and the N55 is in the 10's without any methanol or port injection assistance. ...Published on 10-11-2019 11:56 PM
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. ...
Variable compression engine possible thanks...
This sounds absolutely fascinating but...
