This arctic silver 07 Cayman S came into us bone stock for a full-course of the SharkWerks RS350 kit, including the EVOMSit software, IPD Competition Plenum & Remus Exhaust. For the second course we also installed our Light Weight flywheel conversion along with a set of Bilstein PSS9s and a set of HRE Monoblok P40 wheels.

In she comes:


Here's the factory exhaust from underneath before being removed:


And off she comes!


The sub frame is out next in preparation for the transmission removal:


Here's the stock dual mass flywheel (weighing in at 29 pounds):


Shown installed with a new disc, pressure plate and our single mass (weighing 15 pounds):


The transmission and undercarriage is re-installed and in place of the factory exhaust a freer-flowing Remus system is added:

The engine cover is removed to gain access to the stock airbox, plenum and throttle body:


The IPD Plenum and larger throttle body (from the 997GT3) is now installed:


Over to the flashing station where we install our RS350 EVOMSit software calibrated for 91 octane and left-foot braking enabled:


The factory suspension is up next:


Off come the fronts:


In go the rear the Bilsteins and H&R sway bars lowered by 1.5 inches:

A set of 19 inch HRE P40s in satin charcoal is mounted:




Ready to go home now:

 

Nice!

 

Another very cool transformation performed by SharkWerks. Thanks for the post, pics, and video. I always enjoy veiwing the results of a winning formula put together by Porsche experts.

 

Perfect! Did you happen to do a dyno run?

 

Perfection!

 

Danke!
Thanks very much for the kind words
Same kit as always

Cheers!

 

Thanks. I was just curious to see if you got similar results. How many Caymans have you done with this kit?

 

Looking at the ones we've done about 30 of these and I know EVOMS, RSS etc... have done quite a few also

 

Carlooks great! I'm sure it's a blast to drive.

How does a Cayman S with these mods compare to the new Cayman R? Acceleration, cornering ect ...

 

Thanks Chris and I'll say this... the Cayman R in PDK form as far as acceleration just isn't fair and hard to beat. But manual vs manual and with our LWF in it the RS350 stuff starts to give it a good go that's for sure

Handling-wise the S PASM is a neat system indeed but not as adjustable as the PSS9s. The spring rates are close but the sway bars we use are thicker still. Manual vs Manual in the lower gears with the LWF the accleration should be better in ours.
