Hello everyone,
Its our pleasure to be part of the Porsche community on this board. We are an aftermarket tuning company based out of Toronto, Canada and Rockville, Maryland, US. Our primary focus for many years has been forced induction tuning, live remote tuning (aka etuning). We have considerable experience tuning direct injection platforms like the 997.2 turbos coming from BMW's direction injection motors, namely N54 and N55. With the N54 we've pushed the platform furthest of any custom flash tuner in the World and have taken multiple power and track records in the past. We are a very committed group of car enthusiasts and the company was born out of passion towards a hobby we all loved for many years.

COBB Tuning's AccessPort and AccessTuner platform has been the driving force behind all of the custom tuning services we offer thus far on a number of platforms and the reasons for this are many that we can discuss here for those interested.

In case you're interested in the work we've done so far you can do go to our facebook page or follow us on Instagram, even a google search on BMW COBB protune, BMW protune should provide some good results to some work we've done. Our priority has always been the enthusiast, providing the highest level of quality service in custom tuning and support to our customers and just as we've done with the BMW's N54 and N55 platform we hope to be given a chance here and push along further together with the community.

We've had a fair share of testing done on our shop's 997.1 turbo over the past few weeks and we'll be sharing some pictures and data we've gathered so far with the Cobb AP while doing dyno testing and, much more importantly, street and track testing and data gathering.

Lastly, I'd like to thank and say hello to many very active members and very credible vendors that have contributed to this community over the years always pushing the platform further with proper R&D and quality products. We are looking to work with everyone here and become part of the community with our contributions that we hope you'll find useful, fun, interesting as much as we do and have always especially when it comes to refinement in performance tuning and pushing the envelope.

We're excited and hope you'll find our information on the 997.1 and 997.2s useful and although we may be new to this board we are certainly not new to the tuning scene, take our time with our services and products focusing on quality to the extent that "tuning freaks" is part of the company name

Glad to see you guys aboard! I have enjoyed working with you and look forward to what you guys will bring to this platform!

To kick things off, here are some results on our 997.1 6MT with a COBB AP Stage 1 93 octane map a few weeks ago, fully stock hardware.



100-200km/hr:




60-100mph:


60-130mph:

 

Thanks Mitch. Yourself and Cobb have been nothing short of amazing to work with all these years. Best of luck and really looking forward to working together again.

glad you guys made it out to this platform. We needed the diversity!

-Jose

 

Do you have any sheets with the A/F ratio on them?

 

Welcome, PTF has nothing but great reviews from the bmw platform!

 

Hi Jose, appreciate the warm welcome

We'll be posting plenty of data in the days to come. I can tell you that the 997.1 Turbo OTS (Off The Shelf) Stage 1 93 octane map that comes preloaded on the Cobb AccessPort targets 11.5-11.8:1 AFR (0.78-0.81 lambda) under full load. Porsche, interestingly so, runs the stock tune leaner in the low 12:1 range.

Hi @xbox_fan, thanks for the welcome. Pleasure to have you here. Let us know if we can help in any way.

If anyone would like some help reviewing their Cobb or Durametric datalogs we'd be happy to offer our insight so feel free to drop me a line over PM or even better on my email at dzenno at protuningfreaks dot com.

What upgrades is stage 1? (ie tune and exhaust?)

 

Hi @Bobbyfali, Stage 1 maps are intended for stock hardware. Stage 2 map requires a freer flowing exhaust.

Welcome. I had a couple n54's (e90 6MT and a e92 6AT) and had a great experience with them.

 

Wow very nice time for just a flash!


By chance, do you know what the cars 60-130 time was for that particular car before your flash?

 

I didn't get a chance to test it on the stock tune unfortunately but if I had to guess it'd be somewhere in the low 9s range given 60-90mph time was fairly consistent in the 3.0sec range.

Good luck! You helped a lot the N54 community, i have no doubt the story will be the same here

 

Thanks Fadi. We will do our best.
