987 2010 remap

Hi all.. I am a new boy on the Porsche block with a Boxter S 987 2010 PDK.. Love it. I had it professionally remapped. 309 bhp to 345.5 bhp. I have noticed the rev count is now a bit higher when cruising at 70 mph in 7th gear. I was told this is normal. It makes sense but can anyone out there confirm that.

I have had a car remapped before but it was a manual golf GT TDi. It was half the price to do and I had control as it was a manual., so not sure if the higher rev count is normal on a PDK.. Also there doesn't seem to be any difference now between sports mode and normal.

Is it also correct that the power is not instant.. It's more noticeable through the gear changes at at higher rpm.

Soon I will be working on the cat's to gain more power. Then will put 5mm spacers and lower springs to help the handling of the new power.

Can anyone tell me if I should be thinking of changing the braking system with the new power increase.

Any other advice would be great.
 
Welcome David!

I can't see how a re-map could change the gear ratios, because that's what would have to happen for the revs to be different at the same road speed in the same gear.

I'm sorry, but 34.5 seems a bit optimistic to me. Also, in order to get the best result, you would have been better to get the remap done after doing the exhaust. I ttrust it was a custom map, and not a generic one, and perhaps it is that which has affected the sports/normal setting.
 
Hi Richard. Thanks for the reply.. I will get an email of the graph and post it on hear for you to see. I hope I haven't made a mistake. I had it done at DMS southampton. They seem a good bunch. They had a rolling road and took a few hrs to do it. Took her up to 120 mph at 345.5 bhp. The place was very clean and tidy and professional.. They have had reviews / write ups in Evo, GT Porsche and various other mags.

I will keep you posted. I haven't had a chance to try her out since the remap is I will try and keep you posted.

Thanks [:)]
 
I agree with everything Richard has said and I googled DMS but they don't give any figures for your model. I have heard of people finding that the remaps can take a little time to settle due possibly to the control loop of sensors - ECU - outputs so best give it a few miles.

Having said that the figure does sound a bit high as Richard says, most remaps give the main benefit in the mid range torque rather than outright BHP so a better indicator is the torque available all of the way through the rev range after all it is the torque that provides the acceleration.

Usual upgrades said to work well on this engine is Intake Plenum upgrade, Exhaust mods and then remap.
 
DMS are well established. I have no personal experience of them though. If the before and after results were under the same conditions, then it is an impressive result.

I haven't heard of a Gen2 engine being remapped before, so perhaps there is more available than on the Gen1 engines.
 
no chance imo :) not with the 4 cats still in place and the standard 48mm exhaust.

The Cayman R with it's tweeks runs a 55mm exhaust and it's 330, which is about right with the oem cats in place.

to get to 345BHp you need a 55mm exhaust system and a manafold system with only 2x 200 cell sports cats in.

the top end larger exhaust,manafold systems release about 20bhp all told,

Dyno figures are always suspect imo, I only like real Vbox data on how fast the car is between 2 speeds.
Gen 2 cars are also hard to dyno as the car don't like the front wheels not moving so how did they get round that issue ?
ALso what gear the pull is done is always changes the BHp
 
Hi all. Had my Boxster tested at Surrey Rolling Road and I don't have 345 BHP :-( I have 319.8 BHP. Still loving my Boxstef S and it makes me smile every time a drive it. I have put on 5 mm spacers and it really feel more solid on the road. Bit upset with DMS for not telling me to start with cat, exhaust etc first before a remap and also for giving me a reading of 345.5 BHP. That's so wrong.

So cats and exhaust first, then what.
