Just completed installing the second 997tt AWE 650 kit on 997.1tt. Really transforms the car! Can't wait to see what the Guys at AWE have instore for the new car!

Subscribed. Seeing a build on a 6 speed is what I'm looking for as I'm more interested in the capabilities of the motor instead of the tranny. That and I like 3 pedals :)

Yes, very interesting, and a great question.
The ECU uses torque as its figure for control. Meaning it has a set torque target and will regulate whatever variable it needs to to hit that. So for instance, if at a given RPM, the ECU wants 100 lb/ft of torque, it regulate whatever it needs to in order to hit that. These variables can be amongst other things, boost, timing, and cam timing. So what you are seeing is just regulation to attain the desired output level. Just to add to the concept of the flashloader: In my car I have it permanently connected to the OBD port so I could switch on the fly. It's great fun to compare and study how the different modes behave. Also, when taking long distance trip with the wife for example, the lazy & slow stock mode is actually preferred. LOL. http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/c...08AE3976-1.jpg |

Love that picture. |
***UPDATE***
This past weekend was spent at New Jersey Motorsports Park. It was opening weekend and the weather was perfect. The Lightning circuit was the track we used. This was ideal as the front straight is longer then on Thunderbolt. The car was fitted with 10 additional sensors on the car to help record data not able to be logged through the OBD2 port. We gained valuable information and will be able to show you just how aftermarket modifications will improve on your vehicles performance. It was a very interesting day. We are sifting through the logs now and will post shortly. Aside from that, we have some acceleration logs on a stock car and one with our G.I.A.C. programming. Stay tuned for that as well. |
Hi Mike,
Even though your test car is a 6 speed, the horsepower gain will be expected the same with the new PDK transmission? Any idea how much force the transmission can handle? Thnxs, Paco |

Awesome job. Nice choice with the proper 6 speed manual also.

Good Morning.
Ok, we have another update for you. We did some speed differential testing between a bone stock car and then with a G.I.A.C. flash. The car still has stock exhaust and stock intercoolers. Please note that this is a full weight car, with a full tank of fuel, and a heavy driver. :) (Todd) The car is a 6 speed. We did the testing in a manner that most users would would. We were not out to kill the clutch. These are results that any driver can achieve. Raw data: Stock: 0-60mph 4.0s 0-100mph 8.9s 0-120mph 11.9s 0-130mph 13.7s GIAC: 0-60mph 3.4s 0-100mph 7.9s 0-120mph 10.8s 0-130mph 12.5s http://awe-tuning.com/media/accelshe...tk_vs_GIAC.jpg |
Pretty impressive gains !
So Mike is this the final product or is it still prototype ? |
No, it's a go! This product is ready for immediate sale.
|
I would also like to add that this data was collected at the track. We are 100% confident in the safety of this flash when run with stock hardware. We will be posting that data in the next day or so. Very interesting stuff!

250lb driver? Is Todd on "deal a meal" again? LOL!
