We're working on it at present, but I can't give a timescale. Several months at least....

Yes John; when will it be ready for the 85/86?

In the meantime you could use a SMT-6 from Louie Ott. I'm using 30 pound injectors and about 50 pounds pressure at WOT according to my A pillar gauge. I'm running just less than 7 pounds boost.

We will give the US 85/86 32v priority over the Euro 84/86 version......as time passes I will have a better idea of a release date.

Has anyone tried RPM chips (Ebay) in a supercharged 928? Before the change the car would idle between 14.6-14.7 and now it idles between 14.2-14.5.

Thanks...

I wouldn't worry too much about idle. In fact being on the rich side is fine. Where you really need to watch out is in the upper RPMs. I have no experience with these chips but I seem to recall one person going lean and ended up putting the stock chips back in. I can't remember who it was. Your best bet is to make sure you have everything sorted out, and then rent the sharktuner for a weekend and make your own custom chips. She will scream after that.

I am hoping for the SharkTuner to become available soon. John referred me (if memory serves me right) to Herr-K who was planning on putting a kit together.

Gio,

You have an S4, put the stock chips back in, there is nothing to gain unless you burn Shark-Tuned chips, IMO.

Hiring out a Sharktuner is not an undertaking to be taken lightly. Customers may need considerable support to help them obtain optimum results, even though the tool is "relatively" easy to use

For me to do this at "arms length" can be very time consuming.

A possible solution is for local groups of 928 owners to club together with group purchases, with one or more people in the group as the "expert user".

The SharkTuner is a fantastic tool :-) I would like to see more 928 owners have easier access to it. Then it would make the many hours we spent in development worth while.

I spoke to Herr-Kuhn as well. He is in the throes of building his trubocharged car, and will not be making the SharkTuner available until that project is complete.

I'd have to agree with John's suggestion of area group buys with a ST guru to manage it. I had thought about renting mine, but there are too many possibilities for damage to risk it unless a very healthy deposit was left.

BUMP...Anyone else??

If someone has already posted a similar question, please show me the way


I'm getting 9.5-10 psi max boost.

My next question is can a bad O2 sensor cause erroneous fuel pressures? My A/F gauge shows rich at idle times with minimal fuel pressure?

Sorry Darien, but I'm no help to you. I'm also running 30#, but I run stock FP (custom fuel map via SharkTuner).
