Good news here for those wary of flashing their ECU or messing with the factory software. Not to mention those who hate the Porsche tuning tax. BMS (Burger Tuning) finally has a JB4 tuning box available for the Porsche 991.2 9A2B6 3.0 platform although the offering is still in the early phases. ...Published on 07-26-2019 11:41 AM
Not bad for just software only, eh? This W213 Mercedes-AMG E63 S sedan received a custom dyno tune from Eurocharged Canada. The M177 4.0 liter twin turbo AMG V8 is a powerhouse but there is plenty left on the table for tuners. ...Published on 07-26-2019 10:52 AM
The manual transmission part is not news as this aspect of the new G80 M3 and G82 M4 was discussed ad nauseum. It is interesting to note BMW is paying attention to the weight of the M4 by going to a soft top for the convertible rather than the hard top of the F83 M4 being replaced. ...Published on 07-26-2019 10:12 AM
Well it is not surprising to see more turbo upgrade competition in the EA839 2.9 V6 market now that the ECU can be tuned. TTE (The Turbo Engineers Germany) did not waste any time in announcing their turbo upgrade for the platform. ...Published on 07-26-2019 09:51 AM
Color BimmerBoost shocked but it looks like Mission Performance actually pulled off the B58 HPFP (high pressure fuel pump) upgrade they promised back in March of this year. BimmerBoost would like more details but if the provided dyno graph is not lying they are making over 500 whp direct injection only. ...Published on 07-25-2019 09:11 AM
If you are wondering how some tuners are already dyno tuning certain cars with the Bosch MD1/MG1 ECU, it is because AutoTuner added support to the their tool. MD1 and MG1 are the same basic thing but one is for gasoline vehicles and the other for diesel. ...Published on 07-25-2019 08:21 AM
You may have noticed Xtreme-DI releasing larger direct injection injectors for other platforms. Well, BMW N55 fans do not need to feel left out as Xtreme-DI has larger high flow injectors in development for the N55 platform. ...Published on 07-25-2019 08:01 AM
VTT (Vargas Turbocharger Technologies) continues development on their Audi 8V RS3 sedan. Last week they posted their baseline results along with Unitronic Stage 1, Stage 1+, and Stage 1+ E85 numbers. ...Published on 07-25-2019 07:02 AM
This is just shy of the overall N54 standing 1/2 mile record but it is a new European standing 1/2 mile record. The overall record remains 177.90 miles per hour for those curious but 284.16 kilometers per hour works out to 176.50 miles per hour and a new European overall 1/2 mile record. ...Published on 07-25-2019 06:21 AM
It is always important to point out the difference between an OTS (off the shelf) tune and a custom dyno tune. Now, there are good OTS tunes out there but they are one size fits all. Plus, BimmerBoost does not exactly have much faith in PTF (ProTuning Freaks) OTS tunes and support. ...Published on 07-25-2019 05:52 AM
BenzBoost does not know exactly what is going on with this car or why GAD Motors is not making a bigger deal about it considering they seem to be in a league of their own. They certainly have proven that their M178 turbo upgrade released earlier this year is capable of 1200+ horsepower. ...Published on 07-25-2019 05:13 AM
This ZR1 is tuned by Hennessey (usual Hennessey disclaimer) with their HPE1000 package. This package works out to roughly 905 horsepower to the rear wheels and a 9.5X @ 144.X sprint in the 1/4 mile. ...Published on 07-25-2019 05:00 AM
Well, that was fast! The Bosch MG1 ECU wast just announced as cracked and this is the first US tuner we know of already doing a custom dyno tuned ECU on the EA839 V6 platform. Now, what AudiBoost wants to see are the numbers just like everyone else. ...Published on 07-24-2019 06:52 AM
SRM (Silly Rabbit Motorsport) will have a port fuel injection system soon available for the 3.8 liter direct injected Porsche 911 Turbo models. This includes the 991.1 and 991.2 Turbo models as well as the 997.2 generation 911 Turbo. ...Published on 07-24-2019 06:17 AM
Big, big news in the Audi sector (and about time!) along with other manufacturers using the Bosch MG1 engine control unit. As you know piggyback tuning dominated the EA839 V6 engine platform in the Audi B9 S4, S5, RS4, and RS5 up until now. ...
We know that...
