When I first got the car (used cayman s - gen 1) there seemed to be a noticeable step change in power delivery at circa 5k revs.

I'm not aware of the car having had a map change previously that may have been reset while in the garage and it doesn't feel down on power - just a smoother delivery

Suggestion · Original poster

However, it's recently been into porsche for some warranty work to replace the air/oil seperator and since its been back the power delivery has been a lot smoother - still a change through the Rev range but not as noticeable in terms of a 'step'

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all Relatively new to porsche ownership and just wanted to check something with you guys - what should I expect interns of power delivery through the rev range. When I first got the car (used cayman s - gen 1) there seemed to be a noticeable step change in power delivery at circa 5k revs. However, it's recently been into porsche for some warranty work to replace the air/oil seperator and since its been back the power delivery has been a lot smoother - still a change through the Rev range but not as noticeable in terms of a 'step' What's normal? I'm not aware of the car having had a map change previously that may have been reset while in the garage and it doesn't feel down on power - just a smoother delivery

POST 2Original post

relatively smooth and linear is what it should be, there shouldn't be a huge amount of v-tec style cam push, a little maybe but not much.

POST 4Original post

PorscheGT4 said: gen one has a step and dead spot My gen1 S had a very slight step in the revs, certainly no dead spot (well when the clutch pedal switch was replaced it didn't)

POST 5Original post

can be seen on any dyno, it's for co2 test etc, I tuned it out of mine. Car was far better. you can see the bhp dip and the torque dip at circa 3.500 rpm on the standard map. the mods after smoothed that out
