To extract the more power and improve response, we installed the IPD and Cobb Power Package,
  • IPD Competition Intake Plenum
  • GT3 82mm Throttle Body
  • Cobb AP V3

IPD Competition Intake Plenum & GT3 82mm Throttle Body Installation

To improve airflow, we used the IPD Porsche 981 Competition Plenum to replace the restrictive factory plastic unit.







BBi 981 Stage 2 Power Package with IPD Competition Plenum & Cobb Accessport V3 ECU Upgrade Package



981 IPD 82mm Competition Plenum





Custom IPD silicone Hose Designed to Perfectly fit The alarger 82mm Throttle Body


Diversion Splitter and Dimpled Interior

The new 981 Plenums also benefits from the internal dimpling effect that have been implemented on all Plenums moving foward. This internal dimpling allows us to control the boundary layer and maximize airflow. Just like a dimpled golf ball travels farther than a smooth golf ball. Controlled turbulent air creates less friction and "tumbles" over a given area more efficiently.

IPD 981 IPD 82mm Competition Plenums Features:

• Increases horsepower, torque, and boost responsibly optimizing air flow efficiency
• Utilizes diversion splitter and dimpled interior surface eliminate turbulence and increase air flow
• High quality cast aluminum construction
• Direct fit OEM replacement
• Larger 82mm competition plenum version available
• Made in USA

Cobb Tuning Porsche Cayman GT4 Accessport V3



Features
  • Simple Installation: Everything is included for the simple installation you can do in your driveway! Intuitive on-screen instructions identify your exact vehicle, saves stock vehicle data, and displays available OTS maps.
  • Change Maps: Store up to 100 maps from our OTS map database or from your favorite COBB tuner and quickly switch between them for any need.
  • Vehicle Upgrade Support: As you continue to modify your car, Accessport maps can be used to optimize performance upgrades. Changing the map can be done in less than 1 minute in your driveway.
  • In Car Mount: The Accessport can be mounted in vehicle to allow you to monitor the performance data.
  • Data Logging: Record multiple data channels simultaneously for in-depth evaluation of engine performance. Stores up to 1 hour of continuous data.
  • Gauges: Use your Accessport as a gauge to monitor boost or any other live information, directly from the ECU.
  • Trouble Codes: Read engine trouble codes to diagnose issues. Clear them when resolved. Prevent expensive trips to the dealership.
  • Full Uninstall: Using the Uninstall option will completely remove our programming from the car’s ECU. It is then able to be re-installed after a dealer visit or on another vehicle.




To improve handling, we installed our Stage 3 BBi Street Cup Suspension package along with JRZ RS Touring Coilovers & Tarrett Engineering's Adjustable Sway Bar End Links. Our upgraded components provided the additional adjustment ranges to help maintain proper suspension geometry that not be achieved with the factory arms.

Suspension Upgrades
  • JRZ RS Touring Coilovers
  • BBi Adjustable Thrust Arms Front Pair
  • BBi Adjustable Thrust Arm Bushings Front Pair
  • Tarett Engineering Adjustable Sway Bar End Link Front
  • BBi Rear Toe Adjustable Toe
  • Tarett Engineering Adjustable Sway Bar End Link Rear

Front Suspension



Rear Suspension










JRZ RS Touring Coilovers


BBi Autosport Rear Adjustable Toe
  • Provides additional rear toe adjustment
  • OEM link is non-adjustable and eccentric bolt provides limited adjustment range, causing excessive tire wear and handling issues.
  • Helps maintain proper rear end suspension geometry
  • Each kit includes pair of 2 Links

BBi Autosport Front Thrust Arm Kit


  • Connects the Lower Control Arm to the subframe
  • Provides precision caster adjustability
  • Spacers included for setting stock or anti-squat and anti-dive configurations
  • Each Kit Includes Pair of 2 Links
  • Fits both front and rear axles

BBi Autosport Front Adjustable Thrust Arm Bushing Kit

  • Provides two eccentric mounting points
  • Used to adjust for increasing or decreasing wheelbase, and adjustable caster.
  • A must-have for extended lower control arms (GT3 control arms or eccentric monoballs) to correct for unintended caster change
  • Compatible with all stock Porsche 996 and 997 lower control arms (including Porsche Motorsport Cup arms)
  • Sold as a set of 2 or a Complete set of 4

Tarrett Front and Rear Adjustable Sway Bar End Links

  • Simple bolt-in replacement for the factory drop links
  • Left & right hand threaded rod-ends allow for simple length adjustment to eliminate swaybar preload
  • Correctly sized, precision, Teflon-lined rod-ends for smooth and quiet operation, long life, and high reliability. No wear and rattling problems, like those seen with other designs, due to undersized or low-quality rod ends
  • Eliminates the factory compliant plastic drop link bushings that deflect under loading and quickly wear out
  • High misalignment, stainless steel spacers allow for superior bind free operation and corrosion resistance
  • Precisely connects the stock or adjustable swaybar to the front strut assembly for improved feedback and swaybar response
  • Overall length is adjustable to accommodate either stock or adjustable swaybar requirements

Worn Brake Rotors and Pads




For improved braking performance, we replaced the worn pads and rotors with upgraded components. We chose the Brembo Racing HTC 64T High-temperature brake fluid because it provides a very high dry boiling point and the Endless brake pads Tare the ultimate, dual-purpose street/light track that combines an aggressive initial bite and good heat resistance all while keeping dust and noise to a minimum.



Brakes:
  • New Brake Rotors
  • Endless MX72 Pads
  • Brembo HTC64 Brake Fluid

Brembo HTC Brake Fluid



To ensure optimum stopping performance, brake fluid should be replaced every two years because it can absorb moisture over time and also lowers the boiling temperature, reduce braking effectiveness.

BENEFITS:
  • Brembo HTC 64T can handle high temperatures without loss of pedal feel (independently proven low compressibility).
  • Has been specifically formulated to provide the highest performance and consistency under all racing conditions.
  • Has an extremely high dry boiling point
  • The higher viscosity of this fluid delivers a “stiffer” pedal and provides stable performance under extreme temperatures (critical in professional motorsports)
  • Boiling Point Dry: 335 C / 635 F

New brakes installed
