How about the changes to the ECU mapping? *NM*

It's from a 2001 Boxster S.
See if you can guess correctly.

For starters Pedro, it is a very clean 2001 engine compartment

it is awfully clean and new. But something looks different about the throttle body area. Don"t 01 cars have cables?

Now try to find the differences.
BTW all Boxsters after 2000 (inclusive) were e-gas.
The only cable-operated were 1997 - 1999.

It looks to me like the intake (in the second picture above the silver part in the center) is straight rather than on an angle, so I'd say they mixture would enter and be divided much more evenly between left and right than in the first picture.

The BEFORE picture is of a stock 2001 Boxster S (3.2 L engine) which made 250 HP @ 6250 rpm.
The AFTER picture is of the same 2001 Boxster S (3.2 L engine) with the new TechnoPower2 Kit installed.
It includes:
New intake "Tee" (from the Carrera S 3.8 L - modified as a TechnoTorque3 intake with the air splitter) secured with custom silicone adapter sleeves
New e-gas Throttle Body (76 mm) from the Carrera S 3.8 L (original throttle body was 64 mm)
Modified Air Intake Tube with silicone and rubber fittings
Modified AOS-to-Tee connecting tube with anti-crush, steel belted hose
Complete ECU remap

This baby now makes a respectable 281 HP @ 6320 rpm and can easily accelerate with the 3.6s because of its power-to-weight ratio.
Even better, the torque went from 225 ft.lb 4750 rpm to 245 ft.lb. @4880 rpm
I'm very happy with the results.

BTW: This kit fits all 2000 - 2004 986 Boxsters (2.7L base and 3.2L S)

It's been in the works for about a year, during which time we've been testing and retesting different combinations of components and ECU maps.
We got the right combo now!

If you're interested in more info, please contact me directly.

You installed the new, "Arnold Schwarzenegger" approved throttle body and air intake?

So you're saying Pedro installed an ex-GOVERN8R?

I bet the installation was done by Hans & Frans.

Widened Intake! Looks like 3" in the after pic vs. 2 1/4" in the before

New and bigger throttle body, shorter and improved intake plenum, ECU update.

Only have 2 questions: dyno results and do you throw in a beautiful PB hat (nice hat)!



Dave - 06 987 S coupe SG/NL; gone (but still my first love): 03 986 AS/GG/BK;

... we can throw in a beautiful PedrosGarage hat.
The exclusive PB hat is only for sale as its proceeds benefit this site.
BTW, if you want one you'd better hurry.
There are less than half a dozen hats and I don't know if we'll have any more any time soon.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro.

Orange!!

... the car will pass a CA smog test because we're no eliminating any of the environmental components.
All of the smog control functions and parameters remain in place.

... are for the engine to be able to deal with a larger air flow, but still maintain the stoichiomteric point as much as possible.
Your CEL will remain off because all of the environmental parameters are being met.

Price? How hard is installation?

I installation takes about 90 minutes.

If somebody previously purchased a TechnoTorque2, is there any 'core' return option to reduce the price, since the package includes a new TechnoTorque3? Just curious. Great job on this though - this is the type of upgrade I'm looking for.

... is air constriction at the throttle body and intake tee.
I first developed the TechnoTorque to help move air in.
On the e-gas models I had to go from a small diameter (less than 3"), curved tee to a straight large diameter (3.5") tee from the Carrera S with our air splitter (which is the TechnoTorque3) and a much larger TB (from 64 to 76 mm).
So in you install a TechnoPower Kit you can put the old throttle body and TechnoTorque2 up for auction.
The TechnoTorque2 still works, offering 6 - 8 ft lb of additional torque at a very accessible price, but the TechnoPower Kit doesn't really compare with gobs more torque.

Any before and after dyno sheets? Can you definitely tell a difference?
