I have some ideas on the wheels and kit. But keepin it on the DL right now LOL

 

Can't wait ..
just got back from looking at McJoes new car all I can say is wow!!!!!!!

 

First 2 mods today

 

Squeal Dan

 

Alright here is the first big mod. It added a 10 on the cool factor Baby steps, baby steps!

Removing the stock orange markers and installing Euro clear ones on the 997.2 Turbo.

Step 1 - Look at them in disgust.


Step 2 - Reach at the back and push foward while pulling out, "pop"



Step 3 - Unplug


Step 4 - Plug in new ones and nose first. "Snap"


Step 5 - Thank yourself

Ooooooh no! You aren't getting off that easily! Where is the second mod???

: )

I'm anxiously awaiting your next steps on this because I want to mod my car and yours will be a great test bed from which I can learn.

 

I will do the dyno test and comparison. If not then I will add 10 HP with some White VR stickers I may also add our Agency Power Sway Bars today too - http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/s...p-997tt-2.html.

I decided that I did not want to spend money (or beg for sponsorship) on coilovers so just going to do H&R springs to keep PASM and get the look. I think we have proved KW is the best coilover for these cars on my past 997TT, but trying to keep the focus on our Agency Power part re-R&D. Maybe today will add our AP diverter valves too - http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/a...a-p-53979.html

 

Coming from the factory with 530bhp in this Porsche Turbo S, it was already at a new level of quickness. We needed to see what the car could really do. Having tested on our dyno a 2010 Turbo PDK we were familiar with and where the baseline and ECU Flash tune would be approximately. Even though the Turbo S comes from the factory with 30 more horsepower, there is always more room to improve. Being on a Mustang AWD Dyno and having 91 octane as pump gas, the numbers were against us already. Typically the Mustang dyno has a 20-25% drivetrain loss. When running the Turbo in Sport Mode, the vehicles throttle response and low end torque is noticed on both the dyno and street, however based on EGT temps, Sport Mode can usually yield lower mid to top end power.

As a completely stock car, we did tests in both Standard and Sport Mode to show the difference in power gains. What we yielded was a peak of 541awhp and 534ft/lbs of torque with the flash in Standard Mode. This car actually exceed the typically drivetrain loss showing that the Flashed Turbo S was actually much stronger then expected. With Sport Mode on and an increase in boost pressure, the car spooled up quicker making peak torque at about 400rpm faster. However this then tapered off earlier as usual with cars in Sport Mode. Sport gave us a peak of 532awhp and 524ft/lbs of torque.

The best part of the ECU Flash, it was all done in about 20 minutes using a laptop and plugged into the OBDII port. No removing the ECU, dealing with scratching the interior, or having to wait for the power. Check out the pictures and video below.


Flash

• Standard Mode – 541/534
• Sport Mode – 532/524

Glad to see the softronic tunes works well! Just installed in on my Turbo S a few months back from Switzer. Nice gains!

 

Had a custom steering wheel made for us through our new line of Agency Power steering wheels (made in germany). Should be arriving soon!

 

Nice AP wheel!!!

 

Rep points to you Dan... This is historical; a tuner getting the PDK to hold some more power. Makes me not so biased about the new .2 anymore. Keep us posted, glad I subscribed earlier!

 

Thank you! Next up is aero kit, wheels, suspension, then back into power
