Porsche 996 Carrera ECU Flash Tuning

Tuesday, August 18, 2009 posted by SoftronicTuning.com - 2,205 views

Porsche 996 Carrera – $895

The normally aspirated 996 Carrera is a great street car that has more to give. The RWD Carrera 2 and the AWD Carrera 4 are great platforms to increase power on the 3.4L or 3.6L motor. From 2000 – 2005 the 996 Carrera used a drive by wire system which allows Softronic to fine tune the overall performance of your vehicle. Softronic is able to gain 20 horsepower to the crank and 13ft/lbs of torque.

3.4L Stock Power – 300HP and 258ft/lbs
Tuned Power – 322HP and 271ft/lbs
3.6L Stock Power – 320HP and 273ft/lbs
Tuned Power – 340HP and 286ft/lbs

Softronic flashes the 996 Carrera through the OBDII port of the car. With their Flasher Client software, they are reading a full 1mb of the file to completely tune the ECU. Other companies claim to be able to do this, but are only read 128kb and making global changes. The ECU flash will alter your fuel and timing maps to give you a very linear increase over stock. For those worried about check engine lights, there are none! For those running a high flow cat or straight pipe exhaust systems, Softronic raises the O2 levels which will remove the possibility of having a CEL from this type of exhaust. Once the car is flashed, the low end torque and throttle response will be much improved. The mid-range of the RPM band will feel stronger as well. The overall improvement of drivability makes the 996 Carrera even more fun then it was originally. Since warranty is always a concern, Softronic also provides you with your original file. With this original file you can flash your car back to stock at any point. If you go to the dealer, there will be nothing visible through the Porsche PIWIS system. Softronic can program your vehicle no matter what country you are from or what octane you use. We have different maps for those running 91 octane or 93 octane and higher. We have tested this software in many competition venues with nothing but positive results.

What are the benefits/functions of going with Softronic compared to the competition?

  • Softronic does not require the removal of your ECU from the car. There is no down time at all.
  • Your car can be flashed at your convenience from the comfort of your own garage.
  • Softronic reflashing is done via a Client Cable that is connected to the OBDII port. The customer simply plugs the cable into the car and reads the file with a laptop per the instructions with the cable. Once the file is downloaded, it is emailed to the Softronic secure server where the file is tuned and then emailed back to the client. The client simply uploads the file and they are done. Total process is about 1 hour.
  • Reflashing is done according to the vehicles octane level of pump gas and modifications are taken into account (Intake, Headers, Exhaust) to enhance power gains.
  • All ECU Flashes include FREE of charge the ability to use the Durametric diagnostic tool with the Basic Flash Cable included in the flash price.  This is a $287 value at no additional cost to you!

Porsche 996 Turbo S or X50 – $1549

The 996 X50 package is an upgrade from the standard 996 Turbo to include the bigger K24 turbos and GT2 intercoolers. This car is making 450hp at the crank from the factory. Much like the GT2, these bigger turbos still have more to give. Softronic can flash the stock ECU to gain another 40 horsepower and 50ft/lbs of torque to the crank.

Porsche 997TT GT3076rs – 800HP

ECU Flash

Softronic has a 800 horsepower map for the 997 Turbo that has been converted to using Garrett ball bearing turbos. This ECU flash is for cars running the GT3076rs turbos with Tial 44mm external wastegates. As tested on 109 unleaded octane gas, this map is good for up to 800 horsepower at the crank. Corresponding performance mods are required to reach this level… Read More

Porsche 997TT VTG Upgrade – 700HP

ECU Flash

Softronic has developed an ECU tune for those 997 Turbo owners running upgraded VTG turbochargers. The upgraded VTG system retains all the factory components, but with a larger compressor and clipped wheel, these turbos can now produce up to 700 horsepower to the crank. The tuned file is designed to retain the factory boost controller and up your boost level. For those running catless race pipes… Read More

Porsche 996TT GT2860rs – 700HP

ECU Flash

The 996 Turbo has evolved in many ways from the original tuners modifying stock turbos to those bolting full on Garrett system. This map was developed for those running a Garrett GT2860rs turbocharger with Tial external wastegates. The map is designed to run using 60lb injectors and an electronic boost controller. Inconjunction with corresponding mods, this ECU tune will take your vehicle up to 700HP to the crank… Read More

Porsche 996TT K24/18G w/60lb Injectors – 650HP

ECU Flash

The most popular turbo upgrade for the 996 Turbo is taking the OEM K24 turbos found on the X50 or GT2 and having them modified with an 18G exhaust side. This turbo setup then produces the same low end turbo spool of the K24 but with a huge increase in the mid to top end RPM range. Inconjunction with corresponding mods, this ECU tune will take your vehicle up to 650HP to the crank… Read More

Porsche 996TT K24/18G w/5bar FPR – 625HP

ECU Flash

Much like our other K24/18G upgrade tune, this ECU file keeps the stock injectors and boost solenoid and runs the much simpler 5bar fuel pressure regular. By having a fixed boost pressure of 1.2-1.3 bar, additional fuel is not needed. Inconjunction with corresponding mods, this ECU tune will take your vehicle up to 625HP to the crank… Read More

Porsche 996TT K16/16G w/5bar FPR – 575HP

ECU Flash

On a budget and don’t want to go overboard on modifications? The K16/16G is an excellent turbo upgrade that can be done with the stock Porsche 996 Turbo K16 turbochargers. Fast spool up is maintained while the modified exhaust side of the turbo helps it breathe substantially more giving you gains across the mid to top RPM’s. With the Softronic ECU tune incorporating the 5bar FPR, your car will be putting out 575hp to the crank… Read More
