EVOMS Project 2010 3.8L DFI 997TT Has Officially Started!!!
01-25-2010 - Delivery day of the Evolution MotorSports 2010 3.8L DFI 997TT.
So I flew up to Sharkwerks yesterday to pick up the new turbo from the great guys at Carlsen Porsche. Gary Quibelan, sales manager over there got me hooked up with one of the first 3 cars delivered to their dealership. It is a black on black PDK car with some good optional equipment. Here are some pictures from the dealership.
Delivery to Sharkwerks:
With only 17 miles on it, we were already dissecting the new beast to see what new changes Porsche has in store for us. The first item we are looking at is the software. Since the new 3.8L engine is now direct injection, Porsche is now using the Siemens ECU technology from the 997.2 DFI and the 957 Cayenne DFI.
Last night, James was nice enough to remove the Bose subwoofer to remove the ECU for me so I could take a peak at the software. We read out the ECU with our EVOMSit proprietary SDI4 tools. After downloading and looking at the software, I have a pretty good idea as to what it will take to make some good power gains on this new platform. We have so much experience tuning this Siemens ECU with the various cars that we have built including the Sharkwerks 997.2 and our 720 HP big turbo, Cayenne TT DFI GT700.
ECU Removal:
I will be driving the car back to AZ tomorrow and I will be posting more details about my drive and impressions of the car after some seat time. Stay tuned!!!

Thank you. It is a great car! Regarding the ECU, we choose to communicate the ECU out of the car for a few reasons. First, this is the most secure and safest way to communicate with this TriCore CPU. Another important reason is when the ECU is flashed outside of the car, the on board flash counter is not updated which makes the software less detectable. Additionally, with our process, every modified ECU performance file that we make is based off of exact file that is read out of the ECU. We do not use a generic file that is uploaded into all vehicles. These important factors help us to ensure a safe and reliable data transfer as well as utilizing OEM like flashing protocol which virtually leaves no adverse traces of our flash.

Here are a few more photos from last night during the read out of the ECU.

Well done... it's going to be so neat to see where this project goes. No two ways about it but this thing is quick out of the box. Lag is minimal. The suspension is improved vs the 997.1 stock. Me likey thus far!
Likes Vs Stock Gen 1
1) The PDK sport wheel and paddles. Much better than the regular wheel
2) Suspension. Much more settled and consistent
3) Crazy weird turbo/shrill sound. Needs an exhaust but kinda fun
4) Runs strong on crappy 91 with cool air out here anyways.
5) Initial 0-60 burst. With the gearing/PDK and TT set up it's less laggy than a 997.1TT
6) New PCM. Awesome.
Dislikes
1) Higher compression but lower boost. boo!
2) Silly bulbous side mirrors. Looks like someone was boxing them and gave 'em a bruise.
3) Ride height
So much to do... and you've already identified a few areas eh
PS I can't believe you were on your laptop looking at the stock file till 3am last night. Get some sleep eh!

I actually like the .2 wheels.

I would have to add the sound of the direct injection to the con list. It is an inherent sound on any car with DI.
