Remember back in 2018 when composite (carbon fiber) connecting rods debuted at SEMA? They retailed for $18,000.00 and the idea was for a drag racing team to buy a set as it would cut down on costs eventually and be much more reliable. ...Published on 11-06-2019 01:14 PM
Garrett is making some bold statements here with their three new 'mild frame' G30/G35 turbochargers. You have the G30-900, G35-950, and G33-1050 which Garrett states do not have an equal from the competition at the moment at the moment. ...Published on 11-05-2019 04:31 PM
Sorry to play spoiler but seeing the Hyundai Veloster N win a Performance Car comparison that includes some very nice hardware makes you scratch your head. BoostAddict will defend Road and Track's choice though but not because the Veloster N is the best performance car produced in 2020. ...Published on 10-30-2019 02:25 PM
Finding good fuel for those days when you want to hit the roadcourse, dragstrip, or 1/2 mile event is not as easy as most people think. Pump E85 is great but it variest in ethanol content and when your car is in kill mode you want consistency and reliability. Enter ETS Racing Fuels. ...Published on 10-28-2019 03:43 PM
Part of the problem in the aftermarket is finding companies that truly deliver as promised. Unfortunately, the tuning scene is filled with crooks but also many reputable companies that stand the test of time. ECS Tuning certainly is one that stood the test of time. ...Published on 10-26-2019 03:03 PM
This is an interesting development from TurboSource. Now variable A/R (Aspect Ratio) in a turbocharger is nothing new as that is exactly the idea behind VTG (Variable Turbine Geometry) turbochargers which Porsche is well known to use in production cars. ...Published on 10-25-2019 01:47 PM
Volkswagen finally decided to do their official online reveal of the eighth generation Volkswagen Golf. Obviously a big deal for Volkswagen as this model is iconic for the brand. What you see seems to be a base Golf. ...Published on 10-24-2019 03:38 PM
Yes, they should. What took so long to figure this out? Volkswagen is pretty damn boring and that is how the brand is viewed in the United States. The CEO of Volkswagen Scott Keogh told Motor Authority he believes the brand should make more enthusiast cars. ...Published on 10-24-2019 02:07 PM
Interesting tuner developments here for North American Audi and VW enthusiasts in particular. You may recall that Iroz Motorsport worked with Custom Code in the UK early on for software tuning solutions for Volkswagen and Audi models. ...Published on 10-23-2019 03:04 PM
MotorTrend's 2019 Best Driver's Car competition is taking place at Laguna Seca and it is interesting to see the results on a track that is a good mix of technical application and power. The lineup is good but does not have any high performance standouts. ...Published on 10-22-2019 12:13 PM
The 2019 model year brought some changes to the Volkswagen MKVII Golf R as well as the Audi 8S TT-S and 8V S3. Unitronic is able to tune these models and released their performance ECU (engine control unit) and TCU (transmission control unit) software. ...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 01:02 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 10-19-2019 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 08:25 AM
Just two photos here but they show a production 2021 MKVIII generation Volkswagen Golf. These are not the most flattering of photos but you do see the front design with the new aggressive headlights and the new interior. ...
