Ah an article from a place I've never heard of, written byyy.....Staff Reporter...huh, what an odd name for a person. I'll do some digging to see if this Staff guy/gal have any other articles that were proven to be of use, and hopefully, with sources linked to them.

Bingo.


Some high end EL headers will do a decent job of both. But even the cheapest UEL will provide good midrange gains. So for people worried about torque dips and day to day driving, UEL is usually a safer bet.

Naah, this reeking stinkbomb is too bizarre even for that purveyor of crapola.

Gotta say though, the notion of a very compact NA V6 in this car is mightily attractive. Maybe Ferrari could provide a nice custom crate engine?

1. Are the gear ratio changes in the MT, the diff, or both?
2. What changes were made to increase the HP & TQ?
Thanks!

1. Change in diff ratio only
2. lower friction cylinder linings

Well to be fair the article does include the disclaimer

Absolutely no source, even the most tenuous, given for the "rumours".

I guess the author actually felt a bit of guilt over luring readers in with this trashy clickbait, hence the disclaimer.

Some say he’s already been hired to ghost write Donald Trump’s memoirs.


Other’s say his writing is highly “infectious”.


All we know is... He’s called the Staph!





(Ya, just doesn’t have that same ring to it, eh?)

It "could" also see the return of the 2JZ! It "could" see the return of the 1GZ-FE 12 cylinder! It "could" see almost anything!

I don't even know what a 7mgte is....... .

I'm sure I read somewhere in a mag (can't remember which one) where it was explained why they didn't go with the 2.5 ltr boxer motor to begin with. If only I could find the article.

Because the EJ255/257 are complete trash
