Ahhh how greedy we all are! Don't we have enough horsepower and speed already?

Anybody hear of any legitimate, reliable ECU tunes for the 992, or anything else that is safe that can increase hp?

 

Hopefully in the US. There are a few videos online already of UK and German places doing this, but I am yet to see one in the US.

 

M-engineering.

 

We have had our software out for the 992 C2S and C4S for sometime now. You can't get much more reliable than tuning Porsche models only since 1983.

requires chip to be sent in. Would be nice to be able to easily do this at home without tearing apart stuff and permanently voiding the warranty. COBB Accessport for the 992 would be my ideal for sure, but no available. Nor
do they even have a clue as to when they will
roll it out!

 

FWIW, Mitch McKee with M-engineering used to be the lead of the Porsche team at COBB.

Perhaps that is why there is no COBB access port solution for the 992.

Warranty is void no matter how you look at is, so you should go with somebody you trust.

M-engineering is adding dealers daily, so if there is a tuner near you that you trust to do the install, just ask them to submit an application to carry the product.

 

Didnt know most of that, so thanks for the education. I’d still prefer something I can easily take off and put back on before going to the dealership.

I for one, don’t know any tuners or shops anywhere in the area. Just a regular guy that doesn’t go to a track, do meets or club runs, etc. I just wanna get a little extra oomph from my car, if at all possible, while doing it in my garage in an idiot proof way by someone with little to no mechanical skills. Tall order, I know.....

 

How am I to be sure that your software does what it says that it does, and how would one install it?

 

I believe APR is tuning the 992 now. They are very reliable, they have a long history of tuning vehicles. I have used a couple of their Audi tunes, they are a bit more conservative than others, and they do a lot of testing before release.

 

JB4 for the 992, PNP device you can remove whenever you want.

 

We have a 30 day money back guarantee, no questions asked. Installation requires you to send the ECU to us to be unlocked and programmed currently.

As mentioned, our engineers started tuning the 3.2 L Carrera back in late 83 and have programmed every 911 model since. Our headquarters is in Germany and part of our development takes place on the Autobahn. The Autobahn is the ultimate proving grounds. The Autobahn ensures that our software engineers must produce power without sacrificing reliability. Countless kilometers at wide open throttle certainly weeds out any tuner who cannot program with engine safety in mind.

Also, we offer forum discounts to all Rennlist members. Simply contact me via a private message and I will respond with a current promo code for our online shop.

 

Interesting. Looked at the installation pictures and they are not on a 992. Was hoping to see that if available.

has anyone used this before??

 

Edit: I’m learning a lot more about ECU tuning now and retract this statement

 

Not sure if your reply/comment was specifically about the company above or in general. Seems most do require the ecu to be removed and sent in, which has been the norm with most unless you go in persona and have them do it on site. I'd have to be out of my mind and loving to blow money to forgo the factory warranty for 4 years on a new car in exchange for some tuning. That is exactly what would happen the moment I show up for maintenance or a problem and they plug in the car. Especially for someone like myself that won't track, etc. That is why something easily removable without trace like the COBB is so attractive to me personally.

 

There’s a thread in the Cayenne 9Y0 forum about JB4 installed on a base Cayenne. Search for ‘mind blown’.
