Syvecs will be phasing out their very popular S6 line of standalone ECU's in favor of their new S7i and S7 Plus models. Why? Technology marches on of course and the new S7 units are incredibly capable. ...Published on 12-21-2018 09:56 PM
Watching a car do a GPS run is one thing compared to actually seeing that performance measured against a benchmark. In this case the benchmark is the Ferrari 812 Superfast and Ferrari definitely is not joking that the 812 is fast. ...Published on 12-21-2018 04:24 PM
At the 2018 PRI (Performance Racing Industry) show the Oerlikon Group had 3D metal printed pistons and hollow stem titanium valves on display. 3D metal printers are expensive tools that are becoming more and more popular and they can do a variety of things. ...Published on 12-18-2018 04:33 PM
Sport Auto is a German publication and a funny thing happens when German publications include a Porsche against world rivals. The Porsche tends to win. Which is interesting because their comparison test includes the Ferrari 488 Pista which is destroying everything in its path. ...Published on 12-14-2018 06:42 PM
What is going on with these magazine tests of the Ferrari 488 Pista? Either Ferrari stepped their game up to an entirely new level or something is fishy. The 488 Pista doesn't just set a new test record it obliterates the McLaren 720S by just over two seconds. ...Published on 12-10-2018 07:10 PM
In a drag race, traction off the line is everything. If you want to improve your elapsed time you need to improve your 60 foot or short time. The rule of thumb is that every tenth the 60 foot is reduce results in a two tenth reduction in the 1/4 mile elapsed time. ...Published on 11-28-2018 03:41 AM
The Ferrari 488 GTB despite what you read in magazines is not all that fast. Not that a car that traps low 130's in the 1/4 mile is slow but it is not as fast as MotorTrend would have you believe. We have seen examples at the strip run 127.9 miles per hour which is far off magazine claims. ...Published on 11-28-2018 01:44 AM
Automotive magazines are not what they used to be and today survive predominantly on their established relationships with automakers. Many of those automakers are not afraid to abuse those relationships as the magazines are dependent on exclusive content to stay relevant. ...Published on 11-13-2018 08:28 PM
You have to give HRE props here for doing something different as their new designs seemed to stagnate. The end result here is not the most aesthetically pleasing wheel as it looks like something out of a Lego Technic kit but it certainly is different and points toward future design methods. ...Published on 11-07-2018 06:13 PM
McLaren kicked dust in Ferrari's face since they launched the MP4-12C back in 2011. It was not even close between the two. Well, it appears the 488 Pista is Ferrari finally fighting back if Autocar's 2018 best driver's car results are to be believed. ...Published on 11-06-2018 03:12 PM
This is an interesting setup and drag racers have messed around with volute injection for a while now. Essentially, you are spraying water/methanol directly into the compressor housing. Prometh says this increases the efficiency of the compressor output. ...Published on 11-05-2018 04:23 PM
Everyone knows the advantages of carbon fiber and various modern composites. Light weight while having very high strength. Metal still rules the engine building world but consider carbon fiber connecting rods for a moment. ...Published on 10-31-2018 10:52 AM

Ferrari is showing the 2019 488 Pista Spider off at various shows and it will soon be officially hitting the streets. The Ferrari 488 GTB is a sexy car and with a twin turbo V8 a return to forced induction V8's for Ferrari and the Pista version takes things even further. ...Published on 10-10-2018 10:23 PM
You will notice tunes spreading out for the McLaren 720S and Ferrari 488 GTB and part of what makes that possible is tuning tools such as this one from Autotuner. Their tool has the ability to read and write the Bosch MED17.3.5 and Bosch ME17.8.33 ECU's. ...
