I re mapped my 2021 Carrera ... stage 1 APR tune ... what really helped the tune ( and sound ) was a set of BMC air filters .... big difference.
Any car with turbo is worth mapping
Great video as always and good gains oem plus with just a remap
Annoyed i didn't tune my GTS - so much potential on the turbo cars but the turbo's can have problems
New 0-60 time please!
Do you have to reap the PDK along with the emgine remap?
Yes. Next question.
Why not just film the turbo pressure dial before and after ?? Std. is 16 PSI…what is it now ??
What year 911 is this?
what about resell value though...privately/independent...private i guess is best option, then you have to find someone who wants something 'modded'...right?
As with any upgrade, it will put on as many people as it puts 'off.' The remap is reversible if you wanted to return to standard.
Every one doesn't sell their car.
I am guessing your Porsche Extended Warranty would become null and void?
Probably not....but depends on Porsche's guidelines, I suppose. I tuned my BMW 440i and several other upgrades...warranty is still good to go for 4 more years.
@@RealEstateChris56 They will void your warrantly with a simple muffler upgrade, nevermind a full ecu remap that pushes the turbos way beyond oem boost levels. I suggest you doublecheck that with BMW. Dealerships are notorious for voiding your warrantly when they are faced with actually doing any work or repairs to modded vehicles.
The dealer software will immediately identify the remap, in fact it will identify it even after removal. I’ve seen it first hand with BMW, I presume it is the same with VAG cars, including Porsche too. Still, outside warranty a remap would be good.
Will the remap improve mpg…..asking for a friend
Without upgrading engine internals, would a “performance map” prematurely age/wear the engine?
I mapped my diesel at 80k I'm currently on 170k no related issues
@@Birmingham_racing appreciate the feedback, but I don’t consider diesel engine to be applicable. By their nature Diesel engines are significantly more robust
It will def put extra strain on your engine. My BMW 135i had a high pressure fuel valve go out a couple months after mapping it.
I think its relative to how much time the engine spends on full boost in its duty cycle ie how hard it is regularly driven. In the case of a 991 on the road, I think the duty cyle would be light, given the performance. I mapped my Golf R 75 to 380hp at 5000 miles and it has never missed a beat or throw a fault code. But it is always a risk/consideration.
As for resale it red flags the car, and don’t let anyone with an agenda to sell to you convince you otherwise
Id would have like to have seen some actuall stats for 0-60 , but more importantly 0-125 and in gear performance
Just saying it’s faster doesn’t really qualify anything as to the point of the remap if it can’t be measured accurately
3.8 sec. 0-60 stock with a 991.2 gts. 3.17 sec. 0-60, after Softronics remap.
@@thegrmcrckr488 With more power 0-60 can sometimes actually get slower. What you really want to measure is 30-100mph or 60-130mph if you have a proper piece of tarmac.
Will it throw up error messages or need more servicing?
Good question, no error messages everything looks standard. No extra servicing required either.
Does this put excessive wear and tear on the engine? How well does the engine handle it?
No and very good. Al engines are the same the only difference is with the GTS. That car has bigger turbo's. Ik did my 991.2 C4 and it's a complete other car now with 480-500 HP. Highly recommended.
only the small turbos are spinning more. ( probably their life is shortening) all carrera engines are same.@@derekwhoelse8359
We KNOW that each and every engine is different so "Where are the ACTUAL before and after charts?" Without those this is little more than a sales pitch.... now that it's been tuned it "should" have X power BS
I agree, if you don't show the numbers it means nothing.
warranty on these would have expired long ago.
Nope, can keep them in warranty for 15 years with Porsche Extended Warranty.
@@joebeeston1995 have you checked how many have an extended warranty. Have a look at autotrader
How does the 3.0L when mapped compare to a 991.1 turbo? Is there much difference in performance? Cheers......
Hey, the 3.8 in the 991 Turbo still is the ultimate. We can also map those!
@@RPMTechnikGB thank you for the reply. 3.8 it is then 👍🏻
@@Ethanf2107 Agreed, but no manual trans available in the 3.8
The thing is, more than 70% of all Porsche's ever built are still on the road. The 911 is a classic sports car that will have decades of life. remapping the car will sound like a great idea when buying one 2nd hand right now, but the longer you own the car, the more you'll realise it was a mistake. The car was already fast enough. Adding more power will affect the drivability, balance, durability and reliability. It'll be faster, but you're not winning drag races against fast Teslas, so might as well keep the experience pure.
Interesting point Don, the beauty is if it is your own car, you can do as you wish. Its great to see people enjoying their Porsches in the way they want = standard or modified! Thank you for watching.
@@RPMTechnikGB Yes, if its your car you can do has you wish and then pass the timing bomb to the next owner without telling him. Be sure to put it stock before selling just so the "lucky" guy who buys it thinks its a gem. He will look at the odometer and think: "Only this mileage?! Awesome! The engine shouldn't have any wear at all." Also during the selling process affirm multiple times that the car is totally stock, especially when it comes the time of dealing the price.
@@mikaelgaspar9547Oh stop with the vanity, a second hand car has to be inspected carefully, a remap is no worse than taking it to the track and beating the snot out of it. Full power, full brake, repeatedly. I’ll take a remapped car any day.
@@clu4u The car was prepared to be used stock. If you up the boost you will put everything under more stress, especially if you up it in a considerable way. The wear will be much greater and you will have the risk of damaging the engine and other components. Usually this cars are well used and some even abused, we are talking about sports cars. Most people don't take in consideration if the car has a remap or not, they just use it has they were intended to be used and some even in a way they were not. Plus owners which modify their cars usually are more careless, they abuse them alot more. You can really see it because they take the risk of modify them and damaging them, while most people who keep them stock don't want to take such a risk.
@mikaelgaspar9547 Conceptually, I'm sure that's true. However, everyone knows that Porsches are over engineered and can handle the additional power with very little to no issues.
Great! What about warranty?
Technically yes it would invalidate your warranty, however we warrant any work completed in our workshops for 12 months for peace of mind.
You did not remap it if you don't know the exact hp number so probably a tuning box, shame on you!
Good lord. Stop.
