Has anyone remapped a Boxster before?

Boxster should only ever be spelt with an S... Boxster S! ;-)

Or 'S'pyder!

Ask Barry Hart (Hartech). They have used the guru of guru's Wayne Schofield to remap their race cars, and where it really matters trying to improve the curve whilst staying within the maximum power regs for the championship. I have no idea what their numerical results where but he did say on one of the forums that they didn't find much of a gain, ask him though and get it from the horses mouth so to speak.

Did you have the car on a dyno to verfy the numbers you state here, or are the power increase the tuners claim?

Was wondering that myself. That's one hell of a jump from just a remap.

Where have you had this done on your Boxster S?? Sounds a good increase!

DMS in Southampton. Car feels great but there is so many variables being brought up I was starting to panic about what I have done.

Sounds really impressive and an unusually large gain on just a remap without mods to get better breathing. Do tell more.

Hi Bert. Not sure what more to tell. I took her in. She was put on a rolling road and output was 309. After around 3 hours she was run up to 120 mph and peeked at 345.5 bhp. I watched the process and saw the read out and the beginning and end. Car felt great before but can defo feel the difference. Smoother, faster and kick down is bliss. I was concerned that doing the remap first was wrong but was reassured that if I make further changes like cats and exhaust they would re tweak at each change..

DMS are ok guys don't panic :-)

I am sure you got upto 330BHP ish just not the 345BHP they claim.

just to many cars have been tuned and tested to say other wise.

I have a 2002 Boxster S. I am just getting all the bits and bobs together to do a re-map.

I am off to Florida in August, and will buy some performance manifolds and bring them back with me.

I already have straight pipes sat waiting to install, and a K&N panel filter. Not planning to do a cat delete as this exhaust has sports cats

I re-mapped me Chrysler 300c through my brother-in-laws garage. It is monsterously fast and the torque is sick! 4.20n/m and 300bhp from 215bhp. It has dpf delete, muffler delete and K&N filter. It cost £300. It'll do 0-60 on it's launch control in 5.2 seconds so is rapid for a heavy beast

I will let you know what affect it has and get back to you.

Don't expect more than about 6hp at most from just the remap. We've allowed remapping on our BRSCC race Boxsters this season. Note also we've had more engine failures this season than ever - although whether those facts are related, we're not yet certain. Hartech are sponsoring our series this year - they're not sure of the connection either.

I'd take any wild claims of huge HP increases with a pinch of salt, even on a FI lump those numbers would seem wild from just a remap. Not denying you can't 'smooth' a cars delivery as a lot from factory will have excessive fueling in the mid range but you'll not be seeing 40hp increases from it.

Did I read on a cayman gts advert that it has 340 bhp? If so and it has the same engine as the vanilla 981 S then surely we can get the same numbers from the vanilla version?

you can get to 375Bhp with bolt ons.
