Fabspeed XperTune Performance Software ECU Upgrade. Porsche 997 GT2  ›  FSPOR997GT2ET

The Fabspeed Porsche 997 GT2 XperTune Performance Software is a specialist ECU tuning upgrade designed for the Porsche 911 GT2 (997) manufactured between 2008 and 2009.

Fits:

• Porsche 997 MK1 GT2 2007-09

Developed by Fabspeed Motorsport, this performance software is engineered to optimise the engine management calibration of the Porsche 997 GT2's 3.6-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six engine, increasing horsepower, torque and throttle responsiveness without requiring major mechanical engine modifications.

The Porsche 997 GT2 is a high-performance, rear-wheel-drive version of the 911, combining a powerful twin-turbocharged engine with lightweight construction and a motorsport-inspired driving character.

Fabspeed XperTune builds upon these characteristics by modifying selected parameters within the factory Engine Control Unit (ECU), including air/fuel calibration, engine sensor-related settings and turbocharger boost management.

The software is supplied with a handheld OBD-II tuning device, which allows owners to read the original ECU calibration and install the customised Fabspeed performance tune through the vehicle's diagnostic port.

Unlike ECU upgrades that require the engine control unit to be physically removed and sent away for bench programming, the XperTune system provides a convenient programming process using the supplied handheld device and a Windows computer.

Fabspeed advertises an increase from 500 hp to 564 hp, representing a gain of 64 horsepower.

The manufacturer also publishes an increase from 500 lb-ft to 589 lb-ft of torque, representing a gain of 89 lb-ft.

These figures are based on Fabspeed's tested configuration and may vary depending on the individual vehicle, engine condition, fuel quality, installed modifications and operating conditions.

The XperTune system also allows the original factory ECU calibration to be saved, providing the option to return the vehicle to its original software configuration using the handheld device.

Designed for owners seeking enhanced performance while retaining the vehicle's existing engine hardware, Fabspeed XperTune provides a vehicle-specific software solution for improving the acceleration and driving characteristics of the Porsche 997 GT2.

What This Product Does:
The Fabspeed XperTune Performance Software modifies selected calibration parameters within the Porsche 997 GT2's existing engine control unit.

The ECU controls and coordinates engine functions using information from various sensors, allowing it to manage combustion and turbocharger operation under different driving conditions.

By recalibrating relevant settings, Fabspeed XperTune is designed to increase the engine's performance potential and improve its response to driver inputs.

• Increased Horsepower: Fabspeed advertises a gain of 64 hp over its stated standard GT2 reference output.
• Increased Torque: Manufacturer-published figures show an improvement of 89 lb-ft.
• Enhanced Throttle Response: Designed to provide a more responsive reaction to accelerator input.
• Optimised Turbocharger Boost: Adjusts applicable boost-control parameters to support increased engine output.
• Improved Acceleration Potential: Higher engine output can support stronger acceleration under suitable driving conditions.
• Engine Management Optimisation: Revises selected ECU parameters to enhance performance characteristics.
• Air/Fuel Calibration: Adjusts relevant fuelling parameters to complement the performance tune.
• Vehicle-Specific Tuning: The calibration is prepared using the vehicle's original ECU data and information about existing modifications.
• OBD-II Programming: Allows the software to be installed through the vehicle's diagnostic port.
• No ECU Removal Required: Avoids the need to remove and ship the ECU for standard programming.
• Factory Software Backup: Saves the original calibration for future restoration.
• Reversible Upgrade: Allows switching between the original and Fabspeed calibrations using the handheld device.
• Compatibility with Supported Modifications: The tune can be prepared with relevant exhaust, intake and other disclosed performance upgrades in mind.
• Improved Driving Character: Designed to make the GT2's twin-turbocharged engine feel stronger and more responsive.

• Upgrading the ECU calibration can significantly change the performance characteristics of a turbocharged engine.
• The original Porsche 997 GT2 engine management system is developed to balance performance, emissions requirements, fuel quality, thermal protection and durability under a range of driving conditions.
• Fabspeed XperTune offers a performance-oriented alternative for owners seeking increased power and a more responsive driving experience.
