Switzer Sum P800 Tuning Package for Porsche 911 Turbo And Brandnew Photos
Porsche grown their variable-vane “VTG” turbo record to bobbin more quickly than required turbochargers, creation their ultimate 997 Turbo models reply some-more similarto the naturally-aspirated V8 and V12 foe from Ferrari, Aston Martin, as well as others.
“When WE initial saw a new variable-vane technology a 997 Turbos, WE was tender,” explains Tym Switzer. “The some-more WE looked at the VTGs, yet, when we flow-tested them as well as unequivocally proposed putting them to work, I began to realize which it would possibly to develop the turbocharger package which could compare a VTG’s responsiveness while out-performing them in the midrange and tip finish. Which we were able to rise this package so fast is the approach result of a implausible swell in aftermarket turbo record which has taken place over a final few years. Our record partners can deliver exactly a turbos you need to achieve the performance targets you specify for a since build – and you work together closely to grasp those targets with more run-after-run consistency than the factory VTG-based turbo can yield.”
If Tym’s name seems familiar, it’s because Switzer Performance A Ohio-based tuning organisation that carries his name has been creation large waves in a tuning attention since their clients in Russia, a MidEast, as well as other universe markets began posting videos of their match races all over YouTube final summer.
“You know the bit about creation real-world power,” adds Tym, “and once you decided to go over 700 hp with a efficiencies compulsory for limit coherence, trustworthiness, as well as throttle-response, we realized it was time to move divided from a VTGs, that have been upon a vital edge during 750 and good beyond their unsentimental, everyday limits.”
Common internet wisdom binds which turbocharged engines have been exercises in concede. You can have quick-spooling turbos, and you can have turbos which lift tough to redline, though not both. Switzer’s views upon the matter? “Whilst incredibly responsive, the VTGs do humour from alittle weaknesses when the opening club is raised significantly.” Indicating to torque as well as horsepower curves which match a bureau VTGs in primary bobbin up, afterwards run divided from a VTGs all the approach to the P800’s new 7500 rpm redline. “With the new P800, you can unequivocally have the baked sweat bread as well as eat it, aswell, in the car which you can drive behind as well as onward to the bureau but play, as well as it will still deliver an incredible rush at the lane.”
First voiced in Aug 2009, Switzer’s P800 package for a 997 Turbo includes Switzer’s competition-style empty as well as headers, electronic boost control, Switzer-specific TiAL Alpha turbochargers, MONSTER intercoolers, as well as an ECU program tune to bring it all together in the package that drives like the stock 997 TT … until a go-pedal hits a building. “A great thing about this package is which a energy smoothness is some-more linear than with the VTGs, so a P800 car is actually smoother than the bureau TT, without any of the fluctuation you get intermittently from a DME’s energetic control of a vane resource upon the VTG,” explains Tym. “This is the good e.g. of the tuning philosophy: we’re not about rise energy, we’re about most appropriate energy.”
A P800 package is available now by Switzer Opening dealers.
