Tuning Essentials: Ultimate Performance Guide, 6th Edition

Gotta Go Fast! Pinning the accelerator pedal and feeling the car respond in kind is an addictive feeling. The noises, the quickening speed at which your surroundings start to blur by, and how you find yourself stuck to the back of your seat are all byproducts of going fast, and you want them more and more once you鈥檝e gotten a taste. For all you speed junkies out there, this issue is for you: 伊人直播鈥檚 sixth annual Performance special.

Of course, going fast isn鈥檛 that impressive if you can鈥檛 do anything with it, so we鈥檝e taken this whole book to lay out all the systems that work together to keep your car and your engine turning faster and faster. Further inside, you鈥檒l find nine Buyer鈥檚 Guides chock full of over 100 of the latest and greatest go-fast bits available today, from intake, exhaust, and suspension, to forced induction, transmission upgrades, and engine internals. If it can fit on a car to make it perform better, it鈥檚 here.

We鈥檒l also showcase a few of our friends who are venturing into the more unique ways to make power, like John Nguyen鈥檚 1972 Celica that uses parts from a Supra, Mustang, and a Lexus SUV in a twin-charged setup that needs to be seen to be believed. There鈥檚 also Chad Shirtliff鈥檚 Evo VIII, which utilizes the legendary 4G63 engine, but with an whole extra set of injectors. You鈥檒l definitely want to read up on these amazing builds.

On the technical side, we鈥檝e broken down Grassroots Performance鈥檚 Type 1 coilovers and let you know what to look for when you鈥檙e on the hunt for more low, as well as intercoolers with Wagner Tuning and their new ingenious 鈥淏uild Your Own Intercooler鈥 system. Also, if you鈥檝e ever wondered what goes into making a GT-R anywhere in the ballpark of 1,000 to 2,000 horsepower, we just so happened to talk with the madmen over at Apex Motoring. We鈥檙e talking seven-second GT-Rs here, people.

There鈥檚 even more to read from there, so enjoy your flip through the issue! We can鈥檛 promise your car will be faster after reading, but you might want to place this issue in your glovebox for an extra five horsepower, just in case.
