The tune is absolutely great plus you'll have one of the best tuners in the business in your back seat. The other key consideration for me (beyond the quality of the product) was the ability to develop a good working relationship with a tuner. I found getting direct access to tuners who could provide techincal answers to questions that made sense to me was not easy. So put it this way, if I had to do it all over again, would I choose Proto? Absolutely, 100%, no questions about it. The whole experience has far exceeded my expectations.

 

Just confirmed via Durametric that my Proto tune also registers stage 1 overrevs when I rev to new limit but curiously it didn't change the timer for when the last overrev was registered (which was 27 hrs).

 

for 997TT,stage 1 over rev is 6800-7000 while stage 2 over rev is 7000-7200rpm.Also stage 3 is 7200-7500rpm.these numbers are fixed and cant be changed...so if you set your rev limit to etc. 7500rpm you will het over rev types 1,2 and 3 every time you hit the revlimit...

 

Proto extend the RL to 7200

 

This is the info provided by durametric:

Range 1: 7300-7500 RPM
Range 2: 7500-7700 RPM
Range 3: 7700-7900 RPM
Range 4: 7900-8400 RPM
Range 5: 8400-9500 RPM
Range 6: 9500-11000 RPM

 

That's great to hear! I have FVD tune, but somehow I really can't feel too much of a difference powerwise. I do see close to 17-18 psi all the time and lag is greatly reduced due to exhaust.

 

Thanks for the info guys!

 

For 2006 Boxster

 

lol.

I did see that in the header but in the screen it referred to a 997 so I presumed the header was wrong. So what is the proper range for each level of overrevs for a 997tt?

 

It's what Skan posted above.

 

I found different sites with different ranges listed, but I THINK the right one for the 6 ranges is:

range 1: 6800-7000
range 2: 7000-7200
range 3: 7200-7400
range 4: 7400-7900
range 5: 7900-9000
range 6: +9000

this is pretty close to what Skand listed above.

 

Here it is:

range 1 >6800 and <7000
range 2 >7000 and <7200
range 3 >7200 and <7400
range 4 >7400 and <7900
range 5 >7900 and <9000
range 6 >9000 and = new motor

 

you beat me to it, haha

 

Well, my tune was set to record overrevs only after 10,200 rpm above the revlimit (7200) but as I said earlier there is a bug somewhere. It's still a curiosity why Softronic is able to accomplish this while others who evidently use the same front end cannot.

 

Your tune was set at 7200 and would record over revs when hit up to and at 7200.This would be range 1 and 2 . Should it be moved to 10,200 then that would be the rev limit. Lets keep in mind that there was a time when cars had no rev limiters and required a eye on the tach so this route could be used also. The 10,200 would basically be that.

The answer is in the tune and not what flashed the car. This is the same reason some tunes make more HP than others etc. There is also multiple rev sections in the 997 and GT2 files.


The two ranges above are correct. One is for the Turbo engines and the other or higher range one is for the NA engines.

Best,
Scott
