718 REMAPPING - Page 2 - Boxster/Cayman - PistonHeads UK

After emailing tuners since last November regarding remapping a base 2.0 Cayman finally got a reply from DynotechRS they are away to release a couple of packages in the next week or two has anyone had any experience of this company good or bad ? Cheers Scott http://www.dynotechrs.co.uk/en/products/details/Bo...

Interesting to see what will be on offer but this will invalidate your warranty.

I'd be tempted to get in touch with litchfield or someone highly reputable. Be interesting what figures they can safely pull

Litchfield use the AccessPort system to tune via the OBD port. They are a credible and engineering led operation so give them a call. I'd be interested in what they can offer.

I have my 911 modified by Parr Motorsport in Crawley. I spoke to my contact there a little while ago about 718 tuning as I'm thinking about doing this with a Boxster S. They have some first hand experience of this with one company tuning (tune, exhaust and intakes) the 718 to near 400bhp. Call Lawrence at Parr and he'll be able to run through the options.

Jens @ Ehresmann Automotive already does 450hp

450 😱 Must have some bolt ons... either way crazy power from a 2.0.

Porsche911R said: Jens @ Ehresmann Automotive already does 450hp Sorry, my post may not have been too clear, Parr have first hand experience of a 400bhp tune I believe (may be more now) and can vouch for reliability, use ability etc. I have read about higher tunes but can't recommend to the OP.

This is email I received

Porsche911R said: I would say Ehresmann Automotive is the market leader and Parr prob buys in a kit/tune maybe even one of Jens kits. They never seem to develop their own stuff and are normally twice the price ! Yep, Parr tend to work as authorised dealers/fitters not manufacturers. I think a 718 at 400 - 450bhp with a few suspension tweaks and some bucket seats could be a fun car, I need to get out and drive one.

I'd be very interested in knowing more about the upgrades offered by Ehresmann Automotive. I presume you would need to take the car to Germany for them to do the work

Yeah I've seen it. I presume the car has to go to Germany for the remap as no one in the U.K. Is currently offering similar

I done alot of research and so far there is only 2 option that is easily accessible for us in the UK. 1, VR tuning box 800 USD - ( i'm on 718 fb group so i know one guy is running it) 2 Techart tuning box at 4000 euro or something ( not heard anyone using it yet and brochure says 100 octane fuel required) Other thing i heard of is MTM tuned 718S but that is a german company so unless you will drive over alot , don't bother. Cobb has not managed to crack the ECU so i doubt they will ever do it. I don't fancy a remap that requires dismantling the ECU, with tuning box i can just remove it and remove all trace. Ideally i like to find out more info on those boxes to find out what parameter it reads from ecu, in my bmw days jb4 reads alot more data than simply adding more boost. I am new to Porsche tuning scene so i don't know which one is the big players on the tuning side here. What are the prices for cargraphic tuning box? Thanks Edited by alan718s on Thursday 27th July 23:48

Jb4 was solely BMW but now popular on golf r's etc so am sure they will expanding further in near future ... Great bit of kit

Thanks Edited by alan718s on Thursday 27th July 23:48 The Ehresmann Automotive stage 1 and 2 comes with a brand new ecu so it can't be returned to standard if you wish.

I’m bumping this five year old thread to ask if anyone has had any negative issues over a two year with a Stage One remapped 718S in the UK. Also good to hear who you used if the experience has been good, was it a reflash or replacement ECU and what were the costs? Obviously you cannot mention company names of the experience was bad.(PH rules). Thanks.

9e have run a tuned shop Cayman 718 and tested over many track miles Its. quicker than a GT4 and has been faultless bought from brand new.

Yes the one and only. They tuned my manual 997.1 turbo to 700bhp + in 2014 and the drive train has been superb over 40,000 hard miles. Now at almost 107,000 miles. It was tuned on a new engine after I blew up my first engine at 60,000 miles when it was stock and still under OPC warranty.

I’ve had other cars remapped without issue, by specialists based on their positive reputation, but this is my first Porsche and I wanted to avoid someone who just flashes generic maps.

As you can see all 9e tuning packages properly tested on circuit or airfield over many thousands of miles. Their tuning packages are designed like OEM Porsche to hold power lap after lap not one fast lap and then the tuned car is heat soaked and slower than a stock car like many tuners. If you go on their website all their tuning packages are up there if you put details of your car in.

Whereabouts do you live? I use Ninemeister in Warrington. My 718 now runs a touch over 500bhp, no problems and all work carried out to a high standard as you’d expect

Agree 9m very good too.

They offer 3 stages of tune for the 2.5T; 430, 460 and 500bhp. I’ve had them all!

I recognised Bruntingthorpe from the tree line before that started, although there were no cars parked on the bottom corner when I did a Don Palmer course there many years ago. But yes. I agree that their R&D is extensive. My own goals are for a totally stock looking and sounding car though.
