After a few long weeks and late nights we are nearing full release of our Stage3 Off The Shelf maps for the 997.1 Turbo!
These maps are for you 997.1 Turbo guys out there who are running intercoolers, COBB or ID 1000cc injectors, and an exhaust. These maps will come out for all gases we have supported in the past, ACN91, 91, 93, and recently 100. But the best part, in my opinion, is the added E85 map! We have a few guys out in the wild testing these maps for us already but we are releasing alpha maps here to get some additional real world data before we proceed with the full release.
Most of you know or have heard how wonderful E85 can be, but haven’t had an easy way to properly run it in your .1 yet. These new Off-The-Shelf maps will give those of you with COBB 1000cc injectors, exhausts, and aftermarket intercoolers the ability to run it! Power increases are pretty dramatic, even over 100 octane.
Above shows our new Stage3 E85 OTS Map (Green) vs. Stage2 100 (red) and Stage2 ACN91 (blue) maps. With E85 the peak gains and increased area under the curve are substantial over our crummy California pump gas. Gains of nearly 100whp (19.7%) and 100ft/lbs (18.5%) of torque are realized between the two (green vs.blue). The power increase in Stage3 E85 over Stage2 100 octane are still impressive! Gains of an additional 45whp (8%) and 57ft/lbs (10%) of torque were seen. For those of you running regular 91 or 93 expect to see an increase of 17-19% in whp and 16-18% ft/lbs of torque.
The one nasty aspect of E85 is that the blend tends to change in the winter to E70 in many states. These maps do not support E70 only E85. Please check with your station to see which blend you are getting or better yet, you can test it yourself. QuickFuel makes these cheap handy test kits:
Since these maps are in alpha release there are a few key things we would like to see from you guys who choose to run these maps(E85 and gasoline). Please open the Alpha How-To file in the Box link below or at the top of the page for further instructions.
Please, if you decide to take part in the alpha testing, any and all data would be great for us to have! Please send all logs, questions, comments, or concerns directly to the Porsche Expert Group ( Porsche.Experts@Cobbtuning.com ). Feel free to email me directly as well at jon.hebbeln@cobbtuning.com or Mitch mitch.mckee@cobbtuning.com
This is also my first time posting here so feel I should give a brief introduction. My name is Jon Hebbeln and I have been with Cobb for the past two and half years, some of you may have met me when I was the retail calibrator at Cobb SoCal tuning anything from Stage1 Subarus to 1000whp GTRs and everything else Cobb supports. I recently transitioned out of retail tuning and started doing R&D calibration for the Porsche in an attempt to help with the demand and keep Mitch from working 24/7 (he’s going to continue to do it anyway haha). I also personally wanted to thank you guys for the support you have shown Cobb over the past year as we continue to improve and innovate the Porsche tuning market.
I can personally tell you, its a true animal with its great intentions utilizing E85.
I previously ran an 91oct Evoms 580 tune, while, choosing to run 100 octane, 100% of the time. No comparison in performance at half the cost of fuel. Cars current Powerband is completely different (Turbos spool up faster) allowing me more freedom to take more time in the corners at the track. In fact, I may need a less aggressive tune at the track once I get comfortable with my change in track setup. The extra power helps when I screw up the turn though.
Hans harness, 6 point harness, with Sparco race seats pose a different challenge for me while being so strapped in.
I have to say, Jon was there for me at the track when needing assistance Saturday morning at (5:30AM) his time. (Thanks Jon!)
Cobb should be an acronym for "Customer support while providing results."
I don't work for these guys but, very happy with them! Thanks Guys!

Very cool! Do you run a bigger fuel pump and larger injectors?

Hey guys. I'll step in and hopefully be up assistance here. On the 996 there are so many variations/options and set ups out there that stage III is kind of a custom tuning level. On the 997.2 it's sort of the opposite but same results. The car starts to hit fueling and PDK limits so each one needs a little bit of TLC to get the perfect safe tune. Just catalytic converter or exhaust configuration can really affect the score as well as intercoolers etc. Custom tuning is your best option and if I can help in anyway support or any members with Cobb Tuning let me know. With proper attention the 997.2 can be very potent and consistent. The 996 has many roads to hp just plan to best serve your future goals.
