The Porsche 997 Carrera has become a great daily and track car with it’s prices becoming very affordable. Available in a 3.8L or 3.6L, the style of this 911 is still on point and the performance is very real. The VR Tuned ECU flash is a great upgrade for the 997 along with other parts such as exhaust, intake, plenum. This customer of ours had already equipped his car with a IPD Race Plenum that featured the larger GT3 throttle body as well as a intake system. The Porsche Bosch ECU is very adaptable and with basic bolt-on mods, the car really comes alive. But when the ECU is tweaked, its becomes a whole new animal. With a ECU tune, the stock 325 horsepower of the 997 C2 3.6L goes to 345 horsepower at the crank. Though these “paper” numbers seem minimal, its about the entire driving experience that a simple dyno run cannot show. Every Porsche 997 Carrera that is VR Tuned gives a whole new driving experience for the owner. Even with the modifications already installed, this customer told us, “Just installed the tune, runs awesome! Nice throttle response and added kick.” We continue to get rave reviews on our OBDII plug and play ECU flash for this 997 Carrera.

 

is this available for the 997.2 3.6L?

 

It is! PM incoming

 

A good throttle remap can really wake a car up. Truth in advertising....

 

Just to be clear, the gain to 345 at the crank included the plenum, throttle body, headers, exhaust AND ECU?


Thanks!

 

That sounds right and is totally believable.

 

is this result documented before/after.

 

There are saying the gain with the tune stock is from 325hp to 345hp..... No other mods needed. Right?

 

At the crank!! Hummmm how can you confirm that. Dyno doesn't give crank HP.

 

If the ECU flash net 20 HP, my C2S should be right about 393 HP at the crank.

355 hp stock + 18 hp FVD headers/cats + 20 hp ECU tune with GT3 TB, plenum, x51 intake.

How much? is it reversible with a cost?

 

I am sure it would not be hard for them to test this. They could easily do a baseline dyno... Stock car is 325hp if it dyno at 287whp then just figure the % lost through the drivetrain. Re-dyno with tune and there you go. My 911 dyno at 287 witch means it lost 11.5% through the drivetrain which means if I bought the tune it should have to make 305whp right??? 345 crank -11.5% = 305..... So tuning company should be able to test this right?

 

Will they guarantee that? If that's the case, I'll definitely buy a tune.

 

4s has more of a loss. It's like the Hot Air Intake, I mean Cold Air Intake, argument. Subjective to who is saying it and HOW they are saying they got the numbers. Never ending debate.

For me, I gave up on it. When I'm ready for more HP and speed, I'm getting a Turbo.

 

Vivid racing do you have any dyno sheets of a stock car vs tune car. Without any other mods?

 

My thought exactly...however a 500 rwhp TT is too much for my age...perhaps 10 yrs ago maybe. I went WOT yesterday on Dallas North Toll way and has to lift after ~10 seconds...

If the ECU tune give another 20 hp, i would do it, 400ish horsepowers for the 2 wheel drive Carrera is plenty fun to drive...IMHO.
