Today, 09:25 AMSticky created an article Harrop Engineering develops Porsche 991 GT3 4.0 supercharger kit based around TVS1900 blower in Porsche Performance - Forums, Tuning, Racing, Parts, News, and MotorsportsFinally! A supercharger kit for the Porsche 911 GT3. Harrop Engineering designed this GT3 supercharger kit for the Porsche 991 generation 4.0 liter GT3 motor. Keep in mind the 991.1 GT3 features a 3.8 liter motor and we do not have confirmation on if this kit is for the entire 991 GT3 generation or just the 4.0 liter motors. Regardless, it is great to see the GT3 get boost in the form of a supercharger which will move the entire torque curve up. As this is a positive displacement blower, you get instant boost at any rpm. Will this make as much power as Gintani's GT3 turbo kit? No. But this will be easier to install, tune for, and likely cheaper. Not to mention it will compliment the GT3's powerband. A TVS1900 is the largest blower Harrop could fit and the packaging in the back of a Porsche GT3 is tight. We will have to see what kind of power it makes but on pump gas it should be in the 6XX wheel range. It will also be interesting to see if there is carryover to the 992 GT3. Great work from Harrop Engineering and PorscheBoost will bring your more details as soon as we have them.8 replies | 46 view(s)

Today, 08:44 AMSticky created an article Another 700+ whp stock 2020 Ford Shelby GT500 on the Dynojet in Ford Performance - Forums, Tuning, Racing, Parts, News, and MotorsportsThe Dynojet numbers posted a few days ago showing the factory stock 2020 Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang with it 5.2 liter Predator V8 topping 700 horsepower to the rear wheels are no fluke. This one made 705 rwhp in STD correction on a Dynojet. Unfortunately no high resolution graph of the STD pull is shown but here it is in SAE correction showing 686 rear wheel horsepower: It's an absolute monster. A heavy monster.0 replies | 22 view(s)

Today, 08:21 AMSticky created an article Cadillac abandoning alphanumeric naming scheme and going back to classic names starting in 2022 in Caddilac Performance - Forums, Tuning, Racing, Parts, News, and MotorsportsCadillac, please make up your mind already. We all know classic Cadillac names like Eldorado and DeVille. Something in the 2000's happened and Cadillac abandoned their classic naming scheme for a three letter based and now alphanumeric based scheme. You saw the CTS, STS, and ATS which recently gave way to the CT4, CT5, and CT6. What happened? BMW, Audi, and Mercedes are what happened. Cadillac tried to copy the German brands and it didn't work. Cadillac just could not settle on their own identity. They are now trying to go back and it makes you wonder who is making decisions over there. How is Cadillac supposed to succeed when nobody can even recall what cars they are making as the names change every other year? The only model we can really count on as serving any sort of foundation is the Escalade. No wonder it is the vehicle most people think of when they hear Cadillac.0 replies | 24 view(s)

Today, 08:00 AMSticky started a thread GAD Motors Stage 'VIP' tuned C190 AMG GT S vs. bolt on tuned AMG GT S in Race Videos / Kill Stories / VS.GAD Motors does some fine work and has some of the fastest tuned AMG's in the world. It is somewhat difficult to get info in the US about their product range but there is absolutely no denying their cars perform with the best in the business. Here is an example of the difference between a bespoke GAD Stage 'VIP' which essentially means big money spent compared to a bolt on AMG GT S which no slouch from a roll. It is hard to even consider this a race. Do not blink or you will miss it.0 replies | 2 view(s)

Today, 12:23 AMSticky created an article Ducati launching memorabilia project selling authentic Moto GP and Superbike parts in Automotive Performance - Forums, Tuning, Racing, Parts, News, and MotorsportsTake note automakers, this is cool. Not only is it an interesting way to generate revenue it allows fans to get parts that have real motorsport history and were raced. Ducati in 2020 will be selling signed and authenticated Moto GP parts. Imagine for a moment if you could get a piston or connecting rod from a Le Mans race car or perhaps a crankshaft used in a GP winning Formula 1 car. All coming to you in a display case with the part's history and with a signed certificate of authenticity. Well, Ducati is going to kick off their memorabilia project with camshafts, connecting rods, pistons, and crankshafts. Camshafts The lobes are responsible for guiding the valve during the opening and closing movements. The great accuracy that controls the valve position allows the application of extreme lifting profiles that enable the high performance of these engines. The maximum accelerations to which suction crews are subjected are 32,000 m/s2 (metres per second squared), while the maximum accelerations to which exhaust crews are subjected are 25,000 m/s2 (metres per second squared). Component subject to oxidation over time. To maintain its appearance, we recommend regular lubrication. Crankshaft During operation the crankshaft has to perform at speeds over 17,000 rpm. The angle between the two crank throws is 70°, geometry used later in the Desmosedici Stradale engine of the Panigale V4. Component subject to oxidation over time. To maintain its appearance, we recommend regular lubrication. Con-rod The connecting rod is subjected to tensile loads of up to 2,500 kgf and compression loads of over 4,000 kgf. Each con-rod weighs 202 g and plays a key role in obtaining high levels of engine performance. Pistone During the race it is subject to pressures exceeding 100 bar inside the combustion chamber, moving at an average speed of over 27.5 m/s. The piston itself weights 154 g. Component subject to oxidation over time. To maintain its appearance, we recommend regular lubrication. Cool? Absolutely. Want a piece? You will have to wait until Ducati's memorabilia website goes live.0 replies | 73 view(s)
