After many months tuning the 997 and 996 3.6L, EVO and GIAC are ready to release the 3.6L performance software for both cars. We have spent many long hours on our dyno and on the street to maximize the power output while maintaining a smooth power curve throughout the rev range. This upgrade is available with the new flashloader technology, which allows us to upgrade the cars ECU through the OBD port without having to touch the computer. We can also “bench flash” this ECU which allows us to upgrade the ECU with a simulated OBD port in our facility on units that are mailed to EVO. This upgrades the ECU with the same flashloader technology without ever opening the unit. This technology is undetectable by the Porsche scan tool so there is no need to worry about dealer service issues.

Details and Pricing:

EVO/GIAC Stage 1 Software Upgrade: We were able to increase power with the chip alone by 9 peak wheel HP and 6 peak wheel TQ. There is a max power gain of about 12 wheel HP and 12 wheel TQ at various different RPM ranges. $996

EVO/GIAC Stage 2 Software / Intake Upgrade: Power is significantly improved with the increased in intake air velocity through our new air intake due to debut Dec. 10, 2004. This combination yields 17 peak wheel HP and 11 peak wheel TQ. There is a max power gain of about 22 wheel HP and 18 wheel TQ at various different RPM ranges. $TBD

How noticable is 12 rwhp? Also, would race gas make a difference?

 

12 HP is noticable espically with the more crisp throttle settings that are incorporated in the upgrade. Our stage 2 upgrade is even more noticable with the addition of the intake system.

 

Any status on the C.A.R.B. approval for your 996/997 supercharger?

 

Ah that's great man... Turned away a few 996 3.6L guys who wanted a chip

PS Is this a similair intake to the one on the shoot out car That thing was hawt...

 

Ben, C.A.R.B cert has proven itself to be an arduous task. We are still working towards it. It is in my best interest to get it finished due to the great demand of CA interest.

 

Yes, it is just like the intake on our 950 HP 996TT.

 

That thing was might neat- and sure beat off my crazy conical ghetto filter I'll have to put on one soon.... Gotta make the engine bay more bling ya' know.

PS Gonna run at the track on Saturday with all guns blazing weather permitting. Fingers crossed....

 

Todd great job with the software upgrade! It honestly makes a big difference in the throttle response of my car. As I earlier said it is a significant upgrade to the 996 3.6L driving experience.

I honestly feel that it is as significant an upgrade to my car as was the B&M SSK or PSS-9's.

Any word yet as to when I can have my intake upgrade installed?

 

Thanks. As you know I was an early adopter (serial #3) and have had mine for over a year awaiting the C.A.R.B. certification which we were expecting early this year and then by the end of the summer. I'm selling the 996 and find myself having to remove the SC (at my expense) to sell the car in the largest market in the U.S. (coincidentally the most convienient market since that's where the car is located) given the C.A.R.B. certification didn't come as fast as we'd expected. Do you or anyone you know who installs these on a regular basis have any interest in removing mine and returning it to stock as well as possibly buying my used one at an obviously much reduced price (regular labor price though)?

PS. I hope you are enjoying your new baby as much as we are ours and hope both it and mom are well (and that you are getting "some" sleep).
