Hey folks, over the past few months we've been developing/proofing our 3.9L 997GT3RS 500hp engine thanks to our collaboration with our chums over at EVOMS. If you’re into dynos, track testing, exhaust sounds, racing et al. this video we put together (the wife using Avid) should have you covered- plenty of exhaust sounds too:P We’ve collected a plethora of footage over the last few months and in particular wanted to share some of the facets of real-time tuning made available now with the EVOMSit program. Being a curious lad by nature I always wondered why nobody ever really gets to see behind the (iron?) curtain. So what’s the actual process like? And what are the tools involved when it comes to the secretive “black magic” Porsche tuning? A blend of some very expensive equipment (ok and some skill), good hardware and the EVOMSit set up and we think we have some neat results. For those of you with EVOMSit software now you know some of the how and why.

Great work Sharky. Was the 2010 GT3 in the comparison acceleration run with the 3.9 stock or did it already have your exhaust and ecu mods?

sharkster

Hehe cheers man. Still need to come over here and try her out And grab an exhaust for the PDK...

Yessir underway:P

Thanks drgiman... We actually did some tests like that on the way to the dyno and on the way back. The results were pretty similar That one there is on the way to the dyno and it already had an early version of the software on it

Here's a 1st gear as well as the 2nd gear run against the stocker:

Thought you'd get a giggle out of my late night deadpan. : )

As for that acceleration comparison, it's as if the stock RS lifted! You need to put a go-pro camera in the footwell to prove the pedal is down. : )

ps. See my post in 997 forum re. side bypass pipes, please.

sharkster

Hehe... I did get a chuckle:P Actually the one thing with the Go-Pro is that the wide angle makes it look a little crazy as far as the beat-down went. That's why I made sure we used other cameras/angles as well.

I'll check out your post in the 997 section. Linky link hehe or you making me use the search function
