The guys at Active Autowerke are still hard at, well, “werke” developing new performance bits for the E90 series BMW M3.  Newest on the list is a billet pulley system that will add an extra 10 horses.  The cool thing is that since its a billet pulley it will hold its own for a long time.  An extra 10 horses on an M3 for just under $500 is more than worth it!

For a long time the Honda S2000 was my favorite car.  Out of the box it has just about everything you need: a great suspension, rear wheel drive, good looks, and an awesome engine.  However just like any other enthusiast we’re always going to want just a bit more.  Now its possible to get more for the S2k without worrying about the fuzz or finding a crooked smog guy.  Greddy’s S2000 Turbo Kit has just been announced as carb legal!  An extra 70hp without any tickets?  This might be a good time for me to check out the used s2k market…

I decided to take antoher look at Vorstiner’s titanium M3 exhaust.  I’ve been looking around and so far I haven’t seen too much that is on par with what Vorstiner put out.  Recently the dyno numbers came back from Evosport and it turns out that in addition to shaving off 38lbs it also added 14 horses and bumped up the torque by 13.24 ft/lbs.  So now we know for sure this exhaust isn’t just pretty piping.

Tuning a car, and I mean real tuning is an art and a science.  As with any art or science the proper tools are needed.  One of the engine tuners best tools is a programable Air/Fuel Ratio unit.  This AFR kit from Haltech is easily one of the best available.  This particular kit is tailor made for the 350Z.  So if you’re rocking a Z and its going haywire from all the stuff you bolted on to it, you may want to consider picking this unit up.  350ZMod.com has them on sale for under $250

In case you didn’t already know, Japanese tuner MINE’S has an arm in the US!  Also, as it turns out, they aren’t just about the Skyline either.  Check out this Titanium version of their “Silence” muffler for the 350Z.  It’s a lot like the previous Silence but lightweight (due to the titanium).  It’s also finished off with the classic blue flamed exhaust tips.  Titanium fresh!  Right now they’re sold out but keep an eye on MinesParts.com for the next shipment.

Greddy isn’t dead people!  They are surely alive and kicking and still putting out high quality stuff!  Check out this new bit.  Its their new more adjustable Type RZ Blow Off Valve with a 40mm valve and funnel outlet.  Right now their available in a limited edition “stealth” color.  That’s right this BOV is trained in the art of invisibility.  Ninja vannish!!

This unique coilover setup by COBB Tuning allows the user to adjust the ride height on his or her GT-R while retaining the factory adjustible shocks.  It also replaces the stock rubber bushings with teflon lined spherical-bearing top mounts.  The anodized blue and gold color scheme doesn’t look too bad either!  Check out GTRMod.com if you’re interested in a set.

Amuse is arguably the first aftermarket company to make an exhaust for the Nissan GT-R supercar and for good reason.  The guys at Amuse are eager!  I still have lucid dreams about the R1 Titan S2000 that they built so I can’t wait to see how much further they go with the GT-R.  This titanium exhaust is a good start.  Its pricy but saves weight and adds a sweet sound.  GTR MOD has some in stock right now.

Despite the horror stories about the slightest modification voiding the warranty, aftermarket goodies for the Nissan GT-R continue to roll out.  ARC has cast their magic on Nissan’s supercar and built an intercooler replacement kit.  They’re on special order right now over at GTRMOD if you’re feeling adventerous.

If you want to run your 240SX street-legal style then you’ll probably want to beef up your KA24 engine.  As I’ve said here many times before power needs fuel.  AEM has a fuel rail for your application to help feed your engine once you start bumping up your hp.  I wish this was around when I had my first fastback.  God that thing was a POS.
