This past weekend, October 17th, Bradenton Motorsports Park hosted the “Dead Hookers 11” event. The event is mainly dominated by Domestics, but there were a handful of Imports there as well. One in particular was this Black Supra driven by David Penton.
David has been a customer and a friend of Titan for many years now and always represents TMS to the fullest. David’s Supra was amongst the fastest at the event, posting a 9.56@150mph.
Props to David for not only representing Titan Motorsports at the event, but for representing Imports in general, and holding it down with the domestic crowd.
Ready to take your BMW twin turbo to the next level? How does an additional 80hp and 80tq to the wheels on an otherwise stock car on pump gas sound? How about up to 180hp and 155tq to the wheels on a fully modified car on race gas? Then Burger Motorsports’ new Juice Box 3 is just the product you’ve been waiting for. Bettering upon previous models, Stage 3 improvements include crank position for full 4D engine mapping, air intake temperature for on the fly thermal loading adjustments, direct solenoid control for precise spike free boost control, throttle input for factory like drivability, and fuel pressure control for diagnostic invisibility. In addition, new internal safeguards such as over-boost protection, boost spike protection, and maximum allowable boost solenoid offsets have been incorporated making the JB3 one of the safest tunes available.
Burger has also made installation a snap! Because the JB3 was designed from the ground up specifically for the N54 platform, Burger was able to optimize the unit for reliability and ease of install. The JB3 does not require complicated external power or ground taps which can leave tell tale signs of modification or trigger detection codes, making it the only true plug and play N54 system available. The JB3 box and harness are designed to fit discretely in the ECU compartment with no visible signs of modification. JB3 is offered with two wiring harnesses. Plug and play (PnP), and professional (pin-out). The PNP includes color matched sub-connectors and does not require counting/extracting ECU pins. Installation takes only 15-20 minutes. The pin-out (suggested for more experienced enthusiasts) uses OEM BMW pins in similar manner to JB1 and JB2, and has an install time of 30-45 minutes. Neither version requires the solenoid bypass or any vacuum line changes making removal a snap!

We have installed the Juice Box 3 on Bottle’s 335i, and he loves it. Installation was straight forward as indicated by Burger, and the performance was right on the money. Look for possible track footage in future posts.

This past weekend, Bradenton Motorsports Park hosted the 1st annual Import Face-Off. There have been quite a few Import Face-Off events throughout the country already this year, with 22 shows total for the entire tour. The Bradenton event overall was somewhat mediocre though. Attendance was a bit low, but many of the cars there were of good quality, and the hot body contest was a plus too. The most disappointing aspect of the event was the fact that the proper preparations for the track was over looked, causing less than ideal conditions. Hopefully the Import Face-Off events will return next year and hopefully is improved upon. We look forward to next year’s tour. Here are a few pictures of the event:
ARP – The world leader in fastener technology has just released a new Pro Series ARP2000 main stud kit for 2008 and later Mitsubishi 2.0L (4B11) Turbo and Non Turbo applications.
Part No. 207-5403 – includes a set of ten, M10 ARP2000 main studs, a set of ten, M8 ARP2000 main studs, twenty 8740 chromemoly steel 12 pt nuts and a 1/2 oz. pack of ARP Ultra-Torque fastener assembly lubricant.
All Pro Series ARP2000 studs are centerless ground, heat treated prior to thread rolling and machining, and are nominally rated at 220,000 psi. These fasteners deliver a 50% increase in tensile strength over the OEM main bolts.
This weekend one of our great customers and friends Joshua Barnes took his MKIV Supra Turbo to Daytona for the annual PCA DE and Club Race. We’ve had the pleasure of working with Joshua aiding in the preparation and upgrades to the car over the years for road course driving. Joshua is a seasoned driver and PCA Instructor, however this was his first trip to the high banks of Daytona, so he had quite a bit to take in. Overall the car performed as expected, flawlessly, and Joshua was able to enjoy the 3.56 mile road course for 5-6 hours over the course of 3 days. Joshua’s road course experience has all be done on a a bone stock long block, another great testament to the reliability and over-engineering that went into the MKIV that made it such a legend

The new Performance Swaybar Kit from Eibach is here. Complete your suspension upgrade with an Eibach Anti-Roll-Kit. While the Pro-Kit performance springs are regarded as the primary suspension enhancement components, the Eibach Anti-Roll-Kit allows critical fine-tuning of your Mitsubishi EVO’s handling characteristics.
The Anti-Roll-Kits reduce body roll through increased design stiffness over stock bars. The result: increased handling and cornering grip in any performance-driving situation.
Manufactured from cold-formed, tubular high-strength aircraft-grade steel for precision performance, and finished with a long-lasting red powder coat finish, the Anti-Roll-Kit comes complete with all necessary mounting hardware and instructions for easy bolt-on installation.
