I have been experimenting with re mapping various make and model ECUs, to get maximum performance out of the factory car. I have had luck with Toyota and Chevrolet ECU's gaining about a 10-20hp gain from factory with a simple ECU remap.

I myself own a 2001 Boxster, it has been my test car. Everything on my car is bone stock, with the exception of a re mapped ECU. What is a re mapped ECU you may ask? Well I simply access the data on the ECU via a computer, change the values of the air/fuel/spark ratio and I can achieve great things (cant tell you all my secrets

With the ECU remapped on my Boxster I can acheive 0-60 times in 3-3.5 seconds, thats a lot better then the 6 second stock time.

I am just trying to pass on my amazing discoveries to you! My fellow Porsche fanatics, if I get enough interest in this we can set up a group deal and get you guys running 3 second 0-60s in no time.

Thank you my friends! And happy Motoring :dance:
You don't happen to work closely with a guy called My Gearbox Is in Bits On The Road Doctor, do you?

I can assure you that I do not! I test my work thoroughly before releasing it to the public.

I wouldn't own GP Performance if I was a hack

Interested. I would imagine our cars would need about 450 to the wheels to get that time

Nope, only 400hp. Surprised you guys didn't know this. You don't need to have this guy do a tune for you. Just get a Durametric Enthusiast tool, go to the Performance options. There you will see a 3 second 0-60 option, just enable it. This gives the car 400hp and turns on the all wheel drive system that all 986's came with.

Well, duh. He selected the 3 second option, no the 2 second option!

Oh we believe you!

The S 3.2 can even be brought up to 2.9secs no problem I'm sure by doing (1)wiping off the rev limiter and (2)advancing the timing from its 10degree up to let's say 14 degrees btdc among few other tricks (30degree?!). Given you use high octane and maintain a stable engine temp, there is nothing that say it wouldn't work. Problem is the Flat6 cast materials - good luck! 'Normally' we use a combination or magnesium and titanium in our gp prototype engine assemblies - no no cheap Porsche/production cast alloys lollll

Computers are boggling things yes, gravity and bare bone physics are another

I'm not a doctor, nor own a gp clinic, just the guy who knows how to 'machine' god's metals to 0.005mm tolerance for various WSBK race engineers (fast mopeds, very very fast ones)

Luck with your business and research on the pcar engines, sounds good!
