Thank you !

@@Crayon_992T want to do a colab video with me? Modified 991.2 T versus 992??

Absolutely, let’s set it up

I fully agree that the instant you flash your ECU with any sort of tuning software, your warranty is out the door! And apparently, removing the tune for warranty work leaves traces that any Porsche dealer can detect.

Pretty much every modification does. Mounting different tires voids the warranty. I had a few Porsche and they’re savage when it comes to mods… 🫣

Ya was surprised he said that. Though to be clear, it only voids warranty for issues potentially related to the mod (e.g., infotainment would be uneffected).

Porsche has an agreement with the tuning he is mentioning, M-Tuning😊 ECU Flasher. Porsche has stated that it does not void warranty, I called my Porsche Dealer and the tuning company and they both mentioned that there was no voiding of warranty

Welcome to the world of Porsche . This is also including the sport cats as well

Iconel and titanium might get u there...but stainless? Def some inflation happening as this platforms gains popularity

That’s how it goes, my titanium exhaust and catted down pipe for my rs3 cost $6000 together.

@@padbender2972an Inconel exhaust on a 911 would be amazing. I’m frankly surprised it’s never been made a factory option for the GT3.

$600 Fister exhaust (Gundo done w proper, long-lasting welds) on 996 911.

Really appreciate it dude

Meant EVERY word. Drive the wheels off it!

this guy brainwashed by the dealer....... there's always a way. the dealer also has to prove the tune caused your issue - if you had a headlight module failure, the tune isn't going to void your warranty. not all tuners are same. some are able to revert access logs back to same when it was first tuned..... where there's a will there's a way.

@@davidvonslingshot "if you had a headlight module failure, the tune isn't going to void your warranty" - No kidding. That is why I specifically said "You will have the available warranty on everything else (AC, lights, etc...) ". Thanks for not reading past the first sentence. Shows you don't care about the subject and just a troll. And your statement "some are able to revert access logs back to same when it was first tuned" - Sweet, name one that does that for Porsche with a statement from the company saying so. Everybody would be using them and they would be well known for that. The ECU would be coded that an update had occurred that is not coded to Porsche. Email the major brands such as: M-Engineering ("M-Engineering is also not liable for voided warranties due to installation of our products"); COBB ("the AP is not designed to go around any kind of warranty coverage and there may be diagnostics at a much higher level we are unaware of for detection of the tune"). But your right and must have done your research on the issue and have the best interests of others at heart I'm sure. You know more than the major corporations that try. Go tune your modern Porsche (if you have one) and make a vid about the experience. Would love for the community to see it.

@@davidvonslingshotNo, that’s not true, certainly in Europe. Your warranty terms state that using any parts not approved by Porsche invalidates your warranty period. Increasing power is such a fundamental change that the supplying dealer would not have to prove your modifications impacted any faults or failures. In practice, you would have to prove that your modifications DID NOT impact the failed components. You’re also incorrect therefore in saying that tuning your engine impacts the powertrain warranty - it actually impacts almost the whole vehicle’s warranty as (in the manufacturers lawyer’s opinion) increasing power adds strain to virtually every component including such indirectly related issues such as sunroof failure and interior creaks and rattles, components that we all know are universally fitted to all models regardless of standard “factory” outputs. Basically, don’t f*** with the car until it’s out of manufacturers guarantee anyway.

@@neilturner6749 In the US, it is a little different for the rest of the warranty. In the US, it would only deal with the powertrain warranty and the rest of the coverages would be fine. The main point is to ensure that people research and ask their dealership as some are ok with some mods and others are not. Porsche will want to know why their engine failed. I have yet to find a dealer that will overlook a tune. Another major player in the aftermarket Porsche scene is Dundon Motorsports and it states on their site "NOTICE: Tuning your ECU will be visible to Porsche and can potentially void your factory or aftermarket warranty." Yes, even third party warranty companies do not want to pay for a new engine. If you can't afford to fix, don't tune. Simple as that. Nick stating that you can just return to stock if you have a problem and then take to dealer like it's the manufacturer's fault is a #@$% move.

So, who has had an engine failure related to a tune, that is, any software related tune for engine remap? My understanding is that the turbocharged flat 6’s are exceptionally robust engines. Every 911 owner I know has a tune and their vehicles seem to run better with it. And their dealers apparently encourage it, no hiding needed. Anyhoo, love to get an answer to the failure question.

👍👍 Manual 718 S in 19 are pretty rare. I configured cayman style in red. 😍

I know it feels fast af because the torque curve ramps up much more aggressively compared to a stock car

⁠@@NickMurray That would be news to me 😅

I was just about to say this as I thought I read it somewhere on Rennlist. Base/T have smaller turbos while S/GTS share the same turbos albeit GTS runs a higher psi from factory. Flat6 Motorsports also confirms this.

The engines and especially the turbos are not identical between the T and the GTS either. Nick going a little dumb dumb in his old age.

@@SomeGuysGaragelet him make a mistake geez. Sure he knows the turbos are smaller in the standard Carrera or T.

Lmfaooooo

You can't see it when it's up from the drivers seat. Problem solved.

I think that’s probably highly situational. Increasing the boost beyond stock definitely causes additional heat stress on the engine. I wouldn’t do it.

I'm also surprised to hear about this. Maybe Nick can dedicate a full video to doing a tune and the warranty issues?

Any messing with the engine tune totally invalidates your warranty as Porsche will, fairly or unfairly, claim that the extra power places added stress on all the cars components, not just the directly affected ones such as the engine, gearbox and drivetrain.

Can you elaborate on this

I think it’s very hard to make 992 turbos sound good. 991 was much better in that department.

+1 on the ducktail, not sure they've been able to do an aftermarket one that doesn't disable the standard spoiler operation. I have the 4 way and no sunroof, no regrets. I love the manual, agree that there are too many gears, but my solution is that I rarely go past 6th gear (7th is only for 70+ cruising which I rarely do except on long Interstates far from cities, and 6th works just fine on the freeway under almost all conditions).

Why are you trading out of the 911?

@@markastor6740 the 911 is a trip and I miss a manual. I feel it’s a good time to update my Porsche experience.

His guy (Lionel) is at Porsche Fairfield (CT) - I worked with him buying my T. Tremendous guy!! Highly recommend!

Based on everything I've seen and read, the .2's will no longer have an analog tachometer - it''ll be an all-electronic dash, just like Cayennes, Taycans, Mustangs, Supras and Bimmers now. Apparently there will be hybrid engine options, not sure if it is just the Turbo and Turbo S or whether a Carrera variant will go hybrid.

No spacers

Affirmative on both accounts. Stay classy my friend.

Ok my 2023 GTS 2 has 4 way alcantara, no stereo upgrade (5 less speakers), Ceramic brakes and Carbon fiber roof. Almost no other options except Spider Design wheels and a few bits here and there. My idea was super lightweight without the idiotic factory "Weight Saving" options that actually add weight. I guessed the 4-way sport seats saved about 20 lbs but Apparently more than that. Where did u get those figures on the seat weight? FYI no front lift, no rear steering, no "premium package" etc... I also run 98 octane. I have driven some fast vehicles but this thing is so damn fast. @@BertShackleford

I thought I would regret not getting the 18-ways on my T, but the 4-ways are easily the most comfortable seats I've ever had in a Porsche (others have been a 987, 718, my wife's Macan) and they fit me perfectly, and the cloth is grippy.

I was on the fence back and forth with the carbon roof . Truthfully the only reason I decided against it was I’ve just had bad luck with fading in the past with hoods and just didn’t want to risk it on a 100k plus car

@@Crayon_992T I have the CF roof on my 2023 T and it looks pretty wicked. But it also has gone up over a grand since I bought my car. Not sure I’d go for it at the current price. I’ll be sure to keep a good coat of ceramic wax on that thing. 👍🏼

Holst!

there is no -20 mm on the Boxster. Only -10 mm PASM. No need for lift on non GT cars, unless you have horrendous speed bumps in your area or a steep driveway.

We do indeed have aggressive speed bumps, or "traffic calming devices" as they call them here.

It looks like a wannabe

@@ArtVandelayOfficial the gt wings are absurd. don't like this one either.

The rear spoiler on a standard 992 looks terrible when deployed. The rear wing on the aero kit says “posser” to me. GT3 wings look idiotic on the street. Duck tails rule.

I have a 991.1 carrera with a 3.4 L engine that is tuned. It is fun, but it gets maybe 15 hp more. Nowhere near the bump that the turbos get. There is generally a lot of discussion on tuning in the rennlist forums that will give more anecdotes on your model.

NA engines are NOWHERE near as tunable as turbos without spending ridiculous money.

Drove the S and T back to back at Hockenheim. Felt no difference on the technical part of the track. S seemed less playful or willing to turn. And, there is the lag, which is absent in the T. Actually, for the americanos and their love to do "pulls", the GTS is the sweetspot and perfect car for them. What? "power gain" from the non GT 4.0 liter normally aspirated engine? From what? ECU flash? Lol. Sure.

@@thefridgeman GTS is 10k more with the same options and has zero extra power over an S after a tune. It also has a different suspension that isn’t necessarily what you want in a street car. Did you actually compare lap times between the S and GTS? Would be very surprised to have a 17% difference not show up. If there is even a hint of a straight between corners you should gain time without a lot of effort.

A tuned 718 turbo will eat the 4.0
