In an effort to keep the product information for all of our Panamera tuning products clear and concise I have created this thread. I will be posting updates for each Panamera model as they come available. Please use this post to post feed back, dyno sheets, GPS data, and any questions that you may have.

Currently not available but will be very shortly!!

Intake:

BMC Sport Filter

 

Some of you may have seen our latest Panamera Turbo Software Release (for those of you that have now kindly refer to the information below). Well many will be pleased to hear that it is priced at $ 1,995.00.

This is newly developed software and it is the same price as our 997.1 TT / 997.2 TT software! It is extremely important to us to deliver the best software available for reasonable prices.

Well, I cannot tell you how pleased we are to release this one!! In all seriousness, this project has been going on now for over 1 year. For all who know this ECU backwards and forwards this is not a small achievement. I want to give the guys at FVD Germany some extremely large props for this one, they worked extremely hard to bring this to market the right way. As many of you know, most in the industry have been tuning with external “Piggy Back” units. We were opposed to this from the very beginning and chose not to rush to market with this car. Here are our results....

FVD Panamera Turbo Level 1 Power Kit (Software with a drop in BMC filter):

Factory Panamera Turbo in normal mode based on Porsche AG #’s:
Max. Power - 368kW (500HP) @ 6500rpm
Max. Torque - 700Nm (516 lb ft) @ 2250-4500rpm
Max. Speed - 303km/h (188 mph)
Max. RPM - 6500rpm
Acceleration 0-100km/h (0-62 mph) - 4.2s

FVD Level 1 Power Kit (Normal mode or Cars without the Sport Chrono)*:
Max. Power - 434kW (590HP) @ 6200rpm
Max. Torque - 780Nm (575 lb ft) @ 3000-5000rpm
Max. Speed - 315km/h (195 mph)
Max. RPM - 6800rpm
Acceleration 0-100km/h (0-62 mph) - 4.0s

Highlights:

- Not a “Piggy Back” or external unit that is plugged into the factory ECU. Our software runs on the ECU directly! See more below on why this was so important to us.*
- Dyno Proven and comprehensively tested on the Autobahn and under daily driving conditions.
- Software is completely reversible
- All of the factory engine software safety features are fully intact
- Customizable for your needs (intakes, Bypass - 100 cell - 200 cell exhausts, etc.)
- Accommodates 91-100 Octane automatically (adjusts timing and knock sensors all the way up to 100 Octane) no need for a different file.
- Our software automatically sets higher PDK parameters directly on the ECU. No need for the PDK unit to be sent to us.
- 30 day money back guarantee!

*Stay tuned for Sport Chrono results as we will have them very shortly!

**The Piggy Back option was not for us and here are our thoughts on the subject:

FVD Brombacher has extensively researched many programming options for the Panamera Turbo. We have been working on this project for more than a year now. Programming this ECU is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT and must be done with due diligence.

Our philosophy has always been to extract the most power out of a Porsche while never sacrificing reliability, drivability and safety. We researched and tested several Piggy Back units but in the end they did not meet our criteria. We decided against them for a number of reasons.

It is very difficult to adjust ignition timing on DFI (Direct Fuel Injection) Porsche’s with a Piggy Back Unit due to the combination of sensors that have to be taken into account (cam angle sensors, O2 sensors, knock sensors, rpm sensors, etc.) The OEM Panamera Turbo has thousands of different map variations for different conditions, our software has over a 100 + maps that complement those variations. We found that Piggy Back units only allowed us to use 10% of our maps.

So simply put there is very little control with the Piggy Back units. The end result was that the cars suffered from a host of problems like rough idle, check engine lights, etc. FVD Germany felt that the Piggy Back units did not meet our criteria. We felt that our customers deserved more, so we continued working on a flashable solution that was not a compromise. After a years worth of effort we have the first flashable software on the market which is pure unadulterated Panamera Turbo Software Perfection!



Then we put the FVD Brombacher complete exhaust system on the car and got the following results:

FVD Panamera Turbo Level 2 Power Kit (Software, BMC filter, 200 cell cats, sport center muffler and sport mufflers)

Factory Panamera Turbo in normal mode based on Porsche AG #’s:
Max. Power - 368kW (500HP) @ 6500rpm
Max. Torque - 700Nm (516 lb ft) @ 2250-4500rpm
Max. Speed - 303km/h (188 mph)
Max. RPM - 6500rpm
Acceleration 0-100km/h (0-62 mph) - 4.2s

FVD Level 2 Tuning ( Normal mode or Cars without the Sport Chrono)*:
Max. Power - 449kW (610HP) @ 6200rpm
Max. Torque - 800Nm (590 lb ft) @ 3000-5000rpm
Max. Speed - 320km/h (200 mph)
Max. RPM - 6800rpm
Acceleration 0-100km/h (0-62 mph) – 3.9s



Currently the ECU must be removed and sent to us currently in order to be bench flashed at FVD Germany. ETA is 4-5 days. Having said that, we are diligently working on a OBD2 port flashing solution. I will keep you posted.

Here is a link to our website should you need more information...

If you have any questions I will be happy to answer them for you.

Thanks,

Hey Rhonda, wanted to post this link for you. Thanks again

Rhonda,
anything for the V6 regarding an exhaust ???

I have been poking around for a v6 Panni for my DD... BUT before I pull the trigger, I want to make sure that there are mods for her or I could get a pre-owned V8. I am looking for a fun DD.

see you soon

Robert,

Just let me know whenever you are ready my friend!

Yes we have a sport muffler, sport primary muffler, primary bypass and 200 cell cats for the V6. The software is just being finalized and will be ready next week.

Thanks!
Rhonda
