What’s interesting though is the promo video during unveil didn’t show the engine having integrated exhaust ports. Looks like split port manifold:
Ehhh....oh well. For now...
Yup! But the great news is that I can go to my local Subaru dealer and get a brand new fully forged EJ25 motor from a S209 for a few grand. Good stuff right there...
But it’s only been available in “plain” sedans from BMW up til’ recent. Alot of the aftermarket focuses on relevant nameplates (i.e., GTR, Supra, etc...). I think if the B58 came in more “relevant” cars, the aftermarket would have been all over them right now.
However, I do wonder if some...
I wasn’t teaching anyone anything....especially not you Mr. SmartAss. Man, no wonder your posts always start beef with everyone. Your a total d**k.
Oh yeah, almost forgot :thumbsup:.
Development times nowadays are super quick....especially in motorsports. Shops have prototyping tools at hand in-house.
This was AMS Performance 9yrs ago:
Oh I never said I wanted a MKIV style wing on the MKV....no sir. It has to be something smaller and narrower. It will complete that rear area very nicely. I think a RCF style active wing would work perfectly :cool:
You can’t say that though, because aluminum blocks today are not what they were even two years ago, let alone 20yrs ago. The R35 GTR stock aluminum block’s limit still hasn’t been defined. AMS has stated that 2000hp has become a “worrying” level for the VR38DETT but they haven’t definitely...
Well said...
What most people don’t understand is just how expensive; building, running, and maintaining a high HP older car can be.
The MKIV was never designed to be 1000hp capable....that’s why everything was overbuilt and as such the byproduct was that it ended up being able to handle...
Rumor has it that the “GRMN” Supra will get the “S1” version of the B58 aka B58B30S1?....or so I hear. Don’t shoot me, im just the messenger :D:rolleyes:.
I wonder what the differences are with the “S1” motors??? :hmm:;)
@A70TTR....any word on this?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all modern V6's from Lexus open deck designs?...including the LS500's V35A-FTS?
If so, how is that a better option than a closed deck inline six?...regardless of who makes it.
