This is what you see shared on social media and people eat it up. The tuner claims this is a factory turbo B58 Supra on a 91 octane tune with some ethanol. Well, you are not getting 642+ lb-ft of torque at the wheels out of the factory turbocharger. ...Published on 10-28-2019 04:11 PM
The upper edge of boost only factory turbo MKV Supras seemed to be about 124-125 miles per of hour of trap speed in the 1/4 mile. There were those that hit 128+ on the factory turbo but that was done with nitrous. So how is this car doing ~128 without nitrous? ...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 10-23-2019 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. ...Doc Race top mount MKV/A90 Supra B58 turbo kit nearing completion - BorgWarner EFR 9280 turbocharger

Doc Race is working on their top mount MKV/A90 Toyota Supra B58 top mount turbo kit. The kit features as of now a BorgWarner EFR 9280 single turbocharger but other turbo options are expected despite the tight fit. ...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 11:11 AM
That did not feel like it took any time at all. Speedy Mufflers and Performance in Puerto managed the first 9-second run and no doubt this will be followed by 9-second runs at NHRA accredited strips in the USA. ...Published on 10-17-2019 11:21 AM
The idea of a Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami is not anything new. It was on again then off again and now it appears it really is happening. The Formula 1 Grand Prix of Miami is expected to take place in 2021. ...Published on 10-15-2019 12:29 PM
$64k+ for a Subaru WRX STI? That is hard to swallow when it is almost $30k more than a standard WRX STI. The S209 is limited to 209 models but are the differences enough to justify the hefty price tag? ...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 10-09-2019 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 10-08-2019 09:03 PM
Well, these guys work fast and the work is top notch. As you already know Papadakis Racing began this project with a B58B30C teardown video from their 2020 MKV Supra. They then went into the quality of parts and why they chose the parts they did for the B58 build. ...
