fitted an induction kit which makes the noise nicer and the throttle seem lighter (claimed 23hp but i'm sceptical).

Manthey have quite a few different engine upgrades and all of them are TUV tested/approved which goes quite some way to demonstrating their reliability apart from road testing.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Anybody know / reccomend the best tried and tested non destructive engine upgrades available for a 2003 996 3.6? If remap or chip who are the recommended indies / OPC in the Notts area? ( willing to travel for right service). Also how do mods stand with OPC warranties, I read on rennlist some upgrade software is OPC undetectable is this so? Thanks for your time. Great Forum :wink:

POST 2Original post

Extracting extra power out of the 3.6 is notoriously expensive. There are some tuners out there (Manthey, Cargraphic, etc) which have been successful in liberating additional horses through new manifolds+cats+induction+ECU remap. But this doesn't come cheap, and has typically been done on the motorsport 3.6 engine as found in the GT3 which is a completely different engine to the one in the RMS-prone regular 3.6. Manthey have quite a few different engine upgrades and all of them are TUV tested/approved which goes quite some way to demonstrating their reliability apart from road testing. It's worth having a look at their different websites to see what they offer. Porsche did an X51 power upgrade for the 996 which liberated an extra 20bhp or so on the regular 3.6 (this was standard on the 996 40th Anniversary edition). But I think this involved new heads, induction etc and was an £8k+ option from the factory. Not sure how feasible/available the parts are for retrofit.

POST 3Original post

X51 kit's available from Carnewal for a shade of €7k

POST 4Original post

Cough, cough, Mmmmmm..............................7k Fold the wing mirrors in & remove the wiper blades.........Cost nothing :wink: Fit PSE.......................worth 50 horses and a silly grin

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Nobody had one remapped or chipped? Is this a waste of time?

POST 7Original post

fitted an induction kit which makes the noise nicer and the throttle seem lighter (claimed 23hp but i'm sceptical). Sports exhaust next but not sure whether to do back boxes or whole shebang inc headers etc........

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Seen this? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PORSCHE-996-R...ryZ10408QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

POST 10Original post

Possibly more at very high speeds - but not noticable at low speeds. Still sound good though!

POST 11Original post

Could try Ninemeister - in Warrington so not a million miles away and seem to be the only people willing to look at getting more power from non-turbo 911s (Manthey, etc excluded given that they concentrate on the race-spec engines). Still would not expect you to get any reasonable increase in power without shelling out into the £000s though.

POST 12Original post

If anyone is looking for an induction kit, I still have the one from my old 996.

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

P.M. me with a price please Seagull

POST 14Original post

Stu - your Targa sounded great with the red bit. How come you didn't sell it with the car?

POST 15Original post

I had the Fabspeed exhaust put on afterwards and the buyer thought it was too noisy with both so the easiest thing was to swap the induction back.
