Introduction
mcchip-DKR is a world renown tuner based out of Germany, just outside of Frankfurt. For over a decade now, mcchip-DKR has specialized in ECU software development for performance street and motorsport application. In-house, they have a Superflow 880E 4WD dyno where initial development is conducted. Well majority of their tunes and hardware upgrades are further developed on the street and race track.


Throughout the globe, mcchip-DKR has been one of the earliest to develop a proper and reliable ECU tune for many European vehicles. They have such a vast amount of experience in naturally aspirated and forced induced application to produce strong power/torque throughout the power band, along with consistent reliability. Beyond just high horsepower street cars, mcchip-DKR is heavily involved in motorsports. They tune and campaign a fleet of cars around the globe in some of the bigger racing competitions. In another thread, we'll certainly share more about their motorsport program which we assure, will not disappoint you!

Our Collaboration
We are so honored to be the sole and exclusive North American distributor for the full mcchip-DKR product line. It has been a long time in planning and investment, but in-house we are able to take care of all of the flashing and hardware installation needs. mcchip-DKR offers a multitude of ECU tuning solutions and even more so for hardware upgrades. We are very thankful to be an extension of their establishment to reach out to all of you in support.


Porsche 991 GT3 & GT3RS ECU Tunes & Product Line
We offer a full ECU flashing solution. At our shop, we can tune cars via OBDII using our host of ECU flashing tools. For out of state clients, you can easily ship your ECU to us for a full calibration. For those that prefer to have a user end flashing tool, we do have an optional tool available for you to take a read of the ECU yourself and flash it from the convenience of your own location.

Porsche 991 GT3 Stage 1 ECU Tune | +19hp +18tq
Porsche 991 GT3RS Stage 1 ECU Tune | +17hp +14tq

For both vehicles, we have the capacity to change the top speed limiter, RPM limit, fuel octane, part/full throttle drivability, and write calibrations for other modifications (headers, high flow catalytic convertors, etc).

Our Commitment
Being the exclusive North American distributor of mcchip-DKR Software Optimization, we assure to do everything we can to reflect the brand to the highest degree. These days there are so many great solutions to make big and safe power. We are glad to offer another reliable choice to you all.

A lot of time and efforts are involved in the development of every mcchip-DKR tune and product. We share the same foundation and philosophy in offering a product that is tried and true, reliable, and consistent. Well majority of our clients and in-house project cars are driven on the track nearly all year round. Our clients experience the grueling demands of hot ambient temperatures, constant full throttle pulls through the gears, and holding high RPMs through turns. Offering a product that gives everyone peace of mind was at the top of our priority list.

There is a lot of information, media, and data to share with you all! It's a lot to collate but we plan to use this thread as an avenue to update you all. Throughout RennList, we will also be posting similar threads for the different vehicles we can tune!

As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts and inquiries!

Many Thanks!

Would like to see a dyno chart of +19 hp and "+18 torque" on the GT3. Won't this void the warranty also

Alan C.

Yes.

Alex@PE

Sorry for the slow reply! We have been traveling internationally and internet has been a tough on our end. I'll be collating all the dyno data soon to share with you all for an otherwise factory 991 GT3.

Like any modification done on most vehicles, a single modification alone should not void the whole vehicle warranty unless that specific modification is the underlying cause of an issue. We've tuned many BMWs, Audi/VW, AMG, and Porsches that were still within factory warranty time period. We've never come across an issue with warranty claims.

Devil's advocate question based upon what you just posted above. Let's assume the customer is not willing to hire an attorney and argue Magnuson–Moss. And, let's assume restoring the ECU to factory specification after ECU tune and engine failure is not an option. If customer flashes ECU with your tune and an engine problem results that requires engine replacement and, Porsche refuses to honor the warranty due to the ECU, will you replace the engine? And, is there anything that says that in writing that is supported by a bond?

Dan (is curious if you stand by what you post)

CALSE

Have you safely increased the GT3 "RPM Limit" beyond 9,000 RPM?

rosenbergendo

Totally safe with 9A1 and completely warrantied! Is anyone really going to chip this motor?

Alex@PE

Hey Dan,
Thank you for the response and bringing up a valid scenario.

Because ourselves and mcchip-DKR choose to tune our own and clients cars with longevity and reliability in mind, we leave all factory safety guards in tact. The chosen targets for specific maps are carefully decided from a lot of dyno, street, and track testing to assure safe and consistent results. We know that modifying cars and especially tuning ECUs receive a lot of guarded views, and naturally so, especially considering the history of the earlier 991 GT3 motors.

In Europe, mcchip-DKR does offer an optional engine guarantee program through a third party warranty program. Unfortunately, the optional third party program is not valid in North America. Fortunately, from the many miles of long term testing on the street and track, we all have yet to come across any issues linked to the ECU.

If it piques your interest, more information about their Europe guarantee program can be read here: http://mcchip-dkr.com/en/car-chiptun...or-car-engines

Personally, we recommend staying within the factory 9000RPM limit, but it can be changed if requested. We've had clients inquire if it were possible to do a RPM increase due to their entry speeds and where they are in the power band coming into a brake zone.

Plus 17hp on the RS huh? That's quite good! I'd love to see a dyno chart... What about the low to mid range power? Will it also improve or you will have to sacrifice it for the peak hp gain? You can also tune the ecu for cat delete exhaust system right? How's the power on that setup?

And also what's the price for the tuning? Will it be hard to install if I'm overseas?

Alex@PE

Hi 911_RS

Sorry for the slow reply. Still traveling abroad. Actually in the airport now to fly back to the States. I'll be posting dyno graphs when I'm back at the shop!

Majority of the gains are on the top end for both HP and TQ. Low to mid range, there is no compromise in power. Due to how the intake/exhaust cams are controlled, we are able to make strong top end gains without sacrificing low end!

Tuning can be done for cat delete as well.

Pricing is $1620.00 for both Stage 1 and 2 tunes. Upgrading from Stage 1 to 2 calibration is complimentary.

You can easily ship the ECU to us and we quickly send back!

GT3 KSA

have any RL member(s) tried this on a 991 GT3?

Jimmy-D

I guess no dyno charts?

ScottKelly911

I'm always weary of Performance increase claims from ECU tunes without any exhaust/intake changes when being claimed on non-turbo cars. That being said, these are modest claims, yet significant enough to raise an eyebrow and worth looking into it. There are a few examples where tuning a non-turbo car does make a pretty decent difference, but those are mostly older cars such as the 3.2 and 3.6 engined air-cooled cars. I don't really remember much being gained by tuning the ecu's on 997's, so the 991's I would think would be similarly few gains. But, the lack of Dyno-sheet posting, should be enough to be skeptical about such claims.

There are guys spending over 100k for a mere 20hp
what is an engine between friends

mongolikecandy

this would be a nice increase at a reasonable cost...but worth the risk? not for me!
