Bolt on power in an hour



















Added drop in a BMC air filter, and WOW... Next step EVOM ECU tune and I'll be set.

 

I have all of the above from IPD and the FabSpeed CAI. in red, along with the BMC Filter.

 

Am I the only one who is just underwhelmed by N/A motor bolt on mods? It seems to offer a bit of punch at 5000 rpm and up, but like others have claimed, low end grunt is lessened by this mod.

 

I got the GT3 TB with Softronic Plenum and EvoM intake box.
The car did not run very smooth in temp below 50. I would constantly get CEL errors on MAF. Yes i checked voltage with Duramatic, MAF seemed fine. I guess too much air is moving outside of Porsche programmed range.
The intake did make a tiny difference above 3K, but no difference when added the TB and Plenum to it.
I ordered a Softronic tune, hopefully i'll get it installed this week.
Keeping fingers crossed it will make a difference.

 

need to get more exhaust moving out if youre getting more air moving in. Then need to tell ecu how to use it better with a tune. But thats just my opinion.
Otherwise it will not do as much as everyone hopes.

 

I'm debating evoms tune or dyno tune. what do you recomend? I have all the bolt ons include headers

 

Did you have challenges with IPD's silicone tube? I had a difficult time fitting it.

 

yes it was challenging to figure out if it was on right. Had to turn tb on a angle also. This along with rss engine mounts, numeric cables and evoms intake...

 

Don - I gave each side a shot of silicon spray, they went on in less than five minutes. The entire project took less than an hour start to finish. There is a noticeable increase in power between 4,200 and 6,500 RPMs. I have to tweak the tune to fill in the gap on the low end power. I should have don this a longtime ago.

 

When I did mine it seemed like the hose they provided was nearly a 1/2" too long.

 

what tune you running Gary?

 

EVOM - it's going to be done later this month, put in and Dyno at Porsche dealership here in Tampa. They have a speed shop that host cars and coffee events. They run a race team and host PCA events at Sebring several times a year. They are good people.

 

That is awesome.

 

do you need the evoms chip even if you will dyno?

 

There's not a lot you can gain from an N/A engine with bolt-ons, generally speaking, unless the manufacturer really cheaped out on a particular component and left power on the table.

Does anyone offer an intake manifold spacer? I've noticed a few cars can benefit from spacing the manifold a bit; not sure if it would even fit in this application or if it would gain anything, but thought I'd ask...
