Evolution MotorSports in Conjunction with EVOMSit
Introduce TUNEit – OBDII Port Flashing for Porsche Vehicles

Intelligent Tuning...Redefined TUNEit – OBDII Port Flashing for Porsche vehicles is a new and seamless way to deliver our world renowned Porsche Performance engine software calibrations to the end consumer / enthusiast. Our proprietary performance software can be installed anywhere by anyone at any time using our new hardware interface and software suite. In years past, our performance software was only available either for download at a select number of trusted tuning facilities, or via removing the engine control unit (ECU) and shipping it to an authorized dealer or EVOMS to be tuned. Those days are now behind us with the introduction of TUNEit – a collaboration effort between Evolution MotorSports (www.evoms.com) and EVOMSit (www.evomsit.com).


What is TUNEit and how does it work? The TUNEit OBDII port flashing system consists of all of the needed hardware and software components to seamlessly read and write from/to your vehicle’s ECU. The included USB drive contains the TUNEit software suite which gets loaded to a laptop running Microsoft Windows Vista/7/8 OS (Not compatible with MAC iOS). After installation, the software suite communicates with our TUNEit OBDII port hardware device through a USB cable connected to a laptop. Once the TUNEit device is connected to the OBDII port in the vehicle and to a laptop, the TUNEit software suite seamlessly reads out the original software calibration from the vehicle’s ECU.

After the OEM ECU data is read out, the stock calibration is sent via email to our software engineers. The data is used to create a custom software calibration for your vehicle based upon your vehicle’s original software data, your vehicle’s engine hardware upgrades, your driving style, fuel quality and any additional information provided to us in the performance vehicle questionnaire. This specific information allows us to create the ultimate performance software for your vehicle.

Once our software engineer has created the optimized performance software calibration for your vehicle, it is returned to you via email. The same process used to read the vehicle’s ECU is now used to write the new performance software to your vehicle’s ECU. After the performance software is installed into your vehicle, you can enjoy the many added benefits of our custom created performance software.

Proven Performance - Proven Track Record. What makes Evolution MotorSports / EVOMSit Performance software in a league of its own? Each one of our software calibrations is based on decades of experience tuning thousands of different ECU’s for race and street vehicles which all share some common ECU technology. Our broad tuning spectrum and proven technologies in our world record holding vehicles helps keeps us pushing the limits while staying on the cutting edge of software technologies. We have developed software for vehicles including:



Creating software for a diverse range of different vehicles allows us to understand a broad spectrum of OEM software tuning strategies. Each ECU type / software calibration approaches the engine functions in different ways. Learning the different software “languages” and tuning strategies helps us to look at different ways to further improve upon the engine functions and maximize performance. Additionally, because most all of the vehicles we tune share some common ECU technologies, we can take information we learn from tuning one ECU and integrate these modifications into another ECU.


EVOMSit does not take the “one size fits all” approach to our software tuning. We create software based specifically on the vehicles hardware components as well as over 20 different criteria that are specific to the driver and their driving style. This is a critical element to make sure our software is going to “fit” properly for both the driver and vehicle. There are many different parameters in the software that are fine tuned to meet each customer’s specific driving style and performance goals.

EVOMSit software calibrations are developed, tuned and refined on our state of the art in house all-wheel drive dyno cell, on the street and on the race track. Dyno tuning is a very small portion of our whole tuning process. The dyno can only give a very small snapshot of the vehicles power “potential” and we spend only about 10% of our overall tuning time on the dyno. The other 90% of our tuning is done on the street and on the track. Driving the car in “real world” conditions is the only way that we can ensure that the overall power delivery is smooth and the drivability is properly suitable for normal driving as well as WOT (wide open throttle) driving. The transition from part throttle to WOT is very important as well as ensuring that when shifting through the gears the power is delivered seamlessly.


Dyno power is not a great way to measure the power potential of a vehicle. It only shows a VERY SMALL snapshot of an “Unrealistic” power sweep from 2000 RPMS to redline. Let’s face it, how many drivers go on the highway and put their cars in 4th gear at 2000 RPMS and run to redline? Most customers who drive on the street or track will NEVER drive their car like the dyno test simulates. We drive our cars in traffic, on the highway or race track where we are accelerating from 4000 RPMS to redline, then shift and run to redline again.

On the race track, power delivery, throttle response / throttle modulation is a key element to having a car that is controllable and quick around the circuit. There is no realistic dyno simulation test that can measure how a car will perform in “real world” conditions which is why we do not use dyno results as the only way to measure a vehicles performance capability. We have seen many instances where one of our tuned cars will make less dyno power than another modified vehicle and after the ink dries on the dyno sheet, these same two vehicles on the street have very different results. It is very easy to tune a car to make a peak dyno number but that is not what makes a vehicle perform when it on the street or track in real works driving conditions.


Some cars are tuned to “feel fast” and others are actually tuned to “be fast”. This is another misconception about engine power and power delivery. Torque is the initial sensation that the driver feels when accelerating their car at WOT. Sometimes a car that “feels faster” due to this initial TQ surge will produce less average “overall HP/TQ” over the entire RPM sweep to redline. We can tune the ECU to “feel fast” however, our software is calibrated to “be faster” and produce more average HP/TQ under the curve than a car tuned to “feel fast”. With our software, the power delivery is smoother, more linear, more controllable and accelerates quicker.


Our stringent testing assures pure, crisp and consistent power in all of the conditions you like to enjoy your vehicle. We spend 100% of our R&D efforts on the development and testing of performance software, period! The combination of our meticulous mechanical expertise, painstaking attention to details and our unequivocal capacity to calibrate the most complex automotive computers clearly sets us apart in the world software development. EVOMSitperformance software represents the apex of technology where pure adrenaline is fused with ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE .

This looks like a great option. Im very surprised based on the results of some of your recent builds, especially with 997TTs that you are not getting more hits. As soon as I have my TT Ill be hitting you guys up for a tune.

 

We're very happy to offer this. We have an excellent track record with our software on these cars, and TUNEit makes it very easy to install. Happy hunting with your TT, and let us know how we can help make it faster!

Is this able to identify if the existing ecu has a tune and with who?

 

Todd Zuccone,

Thank you for the introduction of the EVOMS/EVOMSit OBDII port flash ecu tune option. The wait is worthwhile. Having used EVOMSit ecu tuning on multiple Porsche vehicles, i cannot be surprised to see what you will be offering in the near future. Thank you for the introduction. I will be in contact with you soon.

 

Thank you for your kind words, and let us know what we can do for you! We have several dozen of these in use now, and people have been very happy with them; it makes installing our software easy and convenient.

 

Looks like a great way for the 'gentleman enthusiast' to get a bit more testosterone out of their car without the hassle of trips to a tuning shop, running on a dyno and all that back and forth wrench type stuff.


Let's assume the enthusiast wants to keep the car in its stock hardware configuration. Is essentially looking to 'wake up' the car a bit without going down the slippery slope of tune driven hardware upgrades (clutch, flywheel, fuel pumps .... the list keeps growing).


Worth the effort? Or missing the point?


How much of a 'wake up' would you expect to see in HP?


I understand each car is its own project, just looking for a general opinion on the value of dipping my toe into the performance pond just this one tiny bit.

 

Did you guys work in conjunction with Gap Diagnostics? Looks very familiar.

 

Tuning an otherwise stock car is DEFINITELY worth it. It's about the single best bang-for-the-buck modification you can do to the car, and is very reliable and proven as well. You'll pick up a little over 50hp and 70ft-lb with our software, and the car will become significantly more responsive in general.

There are a few items we recommend servicing prior to the tune, but they are essentially tune up items--spark plugs, diverter valves, and the fuel filter. Aside from that, the Stage 1 tune is designed for reliable use with the stock exhaust, intake, turbos, clutch, etc.

Shoot me an email at sstone@evoms.com or give us a call if you have any questions and for more information.

Nope. There's only so many shapes out there for an OBDII case/connector, purely coincidental that they look similar.

 

Sam at Evoms got me setup with this software and some different tunes. I have the stock, the 590 and 7xx hp tunes for my 2010 911 Turbo PDK with the Tubi Exhaust and stock intake. Amazing how much horsepower this car is capable of making!

I was able to use it for the first time at BIR (Brainerd International Raceway). I was worried that too much boost would affect the reliability. With my 2007 997.1TT I had the 590 hp tune and had some issues with the throttle body boot coming off on the track when it's hot. So I thought it would be nice to be able to tune it down on the track to the stock tune or 590 tune. So the first day I had it on the stock tune. Took 5 minutes to change the tune back to stock. Car ran fine.

I felt adventurous on the second day and put on the latest tune with supposedly 7xx hp. Amazing. It feels significantly faster. And indeed it was faster. My lap times the first day was in the 1:52s. The second day with the 7xx tune and I got in to the 1:49 - and I think it can go faster.

I really like having the ability to do the changing the tune on the fly. The Tuneit software is great! Thanks Sam!

Hmm that launch controll, after you enable it in the software, how do you activate it? i guess you need to press a button? or do you use the handbrake switch?

 

When the vehicle is stopped, depress the clutch and hit the gas. We default to a 5000rpm rev limit, and when held there the car will build boost and give you a stable launch RPM to start feeding in clutch and get off the line.

 

Never imagined that would be possible without any bigger ecu upgrades.
That is awesome.

What price is it for this kit for a 996 turbo with 5bar fpr and launch control option?
