How'd they do it?

[jcphx1]

I have a 200 Boxster S. I note that the 06 claims 280 hp and more torque from the same motor.

Anyone know how they did that? Can it be done on a 2000?

Thanks,

JC

The intake and exhuast have been tweaked as well as the DME.

A good aftermarket intake-headers-DME swap should yield 30-35HP for your 02S.

This would probably be more cost effective than using genuine 987 parts.

I think there was also an advancement in variable valve timing that went into the 987.

Any suggestions of good aftermarket intake-headers manufacturers/ suppliers?

I go to the Boxster Racing Board for folks who have done upgrades and taken them to the DYNO. http://www.iq.dynip.com/~racing/index.cgi?index

Headers: TTP.ag,S-Car-Go

Intake: S-Car-Go, TTP, FVD-USA.com, EVO

ECU remapper: TTP - ECU mapping is more art than science, from ALL reports Gunther is the man!

Realizing that you have an S - maybe you will only get 25-30 dyno HP

Beware swapping mufflers, most reportedly lose some HP(despite the website claims)

This is all second hand info - my 02S is stock

also, when porsche increases power on existing motors, they almost invariably raise the rev limit. then they tune the car to make decent torque at the new higher rpm's. since horsepower is a factor of torque and RPM, you can make more HP just by tuning to higher revs. also, VarioRam and VarioCam plus are tuned to reduce the impact of higher-rev tuning on lower rev drivability.
