interested in this ! My car did not come with PSE. Just purchased a topgear valved exhaust that initially will be controlled with the remote (or the home link as my car has that option) but would not mind a ready made solution I can plug into a PSE console OEM PSE button !!

I am hoping to find some time to get it wired up in the next couple weeks.

I sought our a PSE car so regardless of keeping the OEM exhaust, I'd always have the ability to eloquently control a valved exhaust

I got impatient and ordered one. Let’s see when it arrives from Germany if my garage can manage to connect it to the PSE control and link it to the valves on the exhaust…

My last statement is incorrect.

///Malcontent shared a video clearly showing the 997.2 PSE actuators do change depending on engine conditions.

It may not be the same behavior as the .1 PSE, but neither is it purely a function of switch position.

Thanks.

Hello everyone! Just confirming that Soaristo Kit is no longer available. I also can't locate E-1 and E-2 JST connectors.

SOARISTO

Hello, 911 fighter pilots!! It has been a long time since I last posted.



I still have many E-1 (TE Connectivity) and E-2 (JST; Japan Solderless Terminal) connector pins, and Bosch water proof connector for the electromagnetic valve.

And I have a few PCB (Printed Circuit Board) for PSE Control Kit.

Please refer to this page.

But now I own another machine and am busy working on another DIY. Sorry!!

OmairK

I'll take the entire collection!

SOARISTO

Hello 997 / 987 Pilots!!

I apologize for not having access for a long time. I now own another car and am making on another DIY project.

Thread Starter @will007 contacted me the other day and cheered me up. Thank you will007.

Now, I have started making the last lot.



I procure the waterproof couplers etc. from Germany, so please wait few weeks for the next announcement.

Thanks,

AWay

One of the most useful 'mods' you can make to your Spyder thanks to Soaristo! The PSE should function this way from the factory. Happy every time I start the car.

Hi SOARISTO, Excellent engineering work! I am looking to get a used PSE and wanted to check if there were any kits left to purchase. If not, would you make your design open source for others to produce/modify? Thanks!

PS I will be in Akihabara next week and can pick up in person

will007

hi @SOARISTO glad I made your day with my email to you. There have been many recent requests for the kit and very glad you are making more. Can you let us know how many you plan to make. I may be interested to buy few extra for the future. Also like @Jqoo comment about making it open source + a detailed part list (and where to buy).

Many Thanks!

kellen

In for one as well.

SOARISTO

Hi @will007 and other Porsche Fighter Pilots!


I will make 10 PSE control units as the final lot. Because, there are only 10 PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) left.


All electronic components are soldered by my hand to the PCBs. Therefore, it takes time and effort to make a large number of them.


This time, I made a fixture (holding jig) to process the plastic case (heat-resistant ABS).


By using this fixture, it is possible to carve out efficiently and precisely using a 3D CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) machine.

It has already reached the manufacturer's quality, hasn't it?


I have designed control circuit diagrams, printed circuit board patterns, microcomputer programs, etc., but I have no intention of making them open source.

Because if they were made open source, the crafty Chinese would immediately try to make counterfeits and make money.

I want to maintain Japanese-made quality for your precious Porsche.


So please wait for the next announcement.

Thanks,

OmairK

I am in for one as well. My project is indefinitely delayed as I sold my 987 but will probably pick up a 997 at some point!

This is a good solution if you need the system to be switchable but I decided quickly after buying my GTS to unplug the PSE solenoid in the engine bay so that it is always in Sport mode and open. Haven't had one instance where I felt the need/desire to switch it off in the past 2+ years.
