Country: | | | Re: PBox/Drift Box/Gtech Readings for TPC Turbo Products really????? no one ever posted anything in here? lol
I had a gtech box and got a 4.3 0-100 km/h
with a 2009 PDK low pressure 0.3 TPC system and no further mods
but will re-do soon with a racelogic Pbox and also have 100-200 km/h  |  |  |  | | PDK - Porsche Doppelkupplung |  | (FAQ in Process)
Derived from motorsport, PDK, available for the 911 Turbo for the first time, achieves one thing above all else: it provides the perfect balance between uncompromisingly dynamic performance and exceptional levels of comfort. It’s purely about point of view. The driver’s especially.
The optional PDK with both manual and automatic modes enables extremely fast gear changes with no interruption in the power flow. For improved acceleration and significantly lower fuel consumption – without having to dispense with the advantages of an automatic.
The driver experiences a sportier, even more dynamic drive with more agility. Depending on driving style, gear changes range from exceptionally comfortable to exceptionally sporty.
Manual gear changes are performed using the PDK’s ergonomically designed gear lever or the switches on the steering wheel: nudge forwards to change up, pull back to change down. The logic behind the optional three-spoke sports steering wheel with gearshift paddles comes from motorsport: pull to the right to shift up, pull to the left to shift down.
PDK has been specially tuned to the characteristics of the new 911 Turbo models. It has seven gears at its disposal. Gears 1 to 6 have a sports ratio, with the top speed being reached in 6th gear. The 7th gear has a long ratio and helps to reduce fuel consumption even further.
PDK is essentially two half-gearboxes in one and thus requires two clutches – designed as a double wet clutch transmission.
This double clutch provides an alternating, non positive connection between the two half-gearboxes and the engine by means of two separate input shafts (input shaft 1 is nested inside the hollowed-out input shaft 2).
The flow of power from the engine is only ever transmitted through one half-gearbox and one clutch at a time, while the next gear is preselected in the second half-gearbox. During a gear change, therefore, a conventional shift no longer takes place. Instead, one clutch simply opens and the other closes at the same time. Gear changes can therefore take place within milliseconds.
Clutch 1 controls the first half-gearbox, which contains the odd gears (1, 3, 5, 7) and reverse. Clutch 2 controls the second, which contains the even gears (2, 4, 6).
The optional Sport Chrono Package Turbo with dynamic engine mount system provides PDK with two additional functions, ‘Launch Control’ and ‘motorsport-derived gearshift strategy’.
PDK – sporty, comfortable and efficient. Characteristics that have been given some thought elsewhere too: in the specification for the new 911 Turbo models. | |  |  |  |  | |

Country: | | | Re: PBox/Drift Box/Gtech Readings for TPC Turbo Products I choose not to supject my car to the driveline shock of 0-60 runs. Stop light drags are just not important to me.
There have been 1/4 mile and various lap time posted elsewhere on the site. If they are important to you do a search and agragate them here

Country: | | | Re: PBox/Drift Box/Gtech Readings for TPC Turbo Products yes 0-100 is also due to so many factors like tires, street surface, weather etc
rather less interesting - my best 100-100 km/h time though was a 10,2 which although quite nice for a 987 platform did disappoint my expectations - and the 10,2 was the best out of several runs |

Country: | | Alex, I have to say your run figures are rather interesting... You have the advantage of the PDK and launch control that gives you a better 0-100 than mine. In my case, my car continues to burn rubber till mid range of 2nd gear...
On the other hand, the PDK as far as I know doesn't provide the same horsepower as the manual... in terms of numbers yours produce less HP yet it's faster in acceleration than MT.
You can switch to Hi Boost on the Greddy to reach your desired 0.4 bar. But it's advised to use racing fuel for it.
I guess the bottom line isn't how many horsepowers can you reach, or how much boost can you run rather than how much of that can your car put to the ground.
Forget the numbers and go unleash your beast to mark its territory   |  |  |  | | PDK - Porsche Doppelkupplung |  | (FAQ in Process)

Country: | | | Re: PBox/Drift Box/Gtech Readings for TPC Turbo Products hi hassan,
mine has no option to change the boost pressure anywhere TPC said it runs on 0,3 but my boost indicator shows a 0,4
i run it with ARAL (BP) fuel 102 - the power of the car is somewhere around
a 997 GT3 MKI - not bad indeed but TPC's spyder runs significantly more hp
so that "inaccuracy" gives me food for thought as i have expressed in other
threads already you will probably have seen or will see too ;-)
in any case yes 0-100 figure is totally to be neglected for the grip reason
i run 11x19 on the rear with 275 hankook s1 since the 295 zero nero would rub
on the fender - funny the wider tire would still produce the better 0-100 time
4.3 - while the best with the 275 was a 4.4
whats rather a lithe disappointing though is the 10.2 on 100-200
in any case the fastest 987 around but not quite the super car threat
as yours is ;-) |

Originally Posted by alexdou111 in any case the fastest 987 around but not quite the super car threat as yours is ;-) | Thank you for the compliment... but I'm afraid without 4WD none of us can put the power right to the ground on a straight line. We can be a threat to our own Porsche bloodline or the retired generations of Italian rivals... but to the latest super cars, I wish!
Foes will show up down the streets from time to time for you to test them but your main enemy will always be your own... be safe Alex and God bless you.

Country: | | | Re: PBox/Drift Box/Gtech Readings for TPC Turbo Products i have exchanged the SC clock and installed a boost pressure indicator instead - the boost comes with a direct line from the turbo - so easy straight forward install
hmmm i am a little puzzled by your comments though - since i remember myself reading about you going on 458 italia bait seek :-)
also, i know of people here in germany who tuned their 996 turbo to a 600 hp and even took OUT the 4wd and they DO get the power on the street - my "issue" isn't really grip related too - since from 100-200 i do not have any grip issues at all looking at the dash
i will check the dyne soon see what figures the car does deliver - thanks for your wishes habib and same to you or in fact to anyone ;-) |

Country: | | I remember in the early days when one needed big balls for a turbo Cayman. Then I raised the bar with 3.7L adding sheer madness to the equation. Days went by and more people started turbo charging their toys and others went forward blowing 'absolutely reliable' engines just to get them enlarged and charged.
I should've raised the bar high since the beginning...
Now that's how you fix the speed on your Porsche's Auto-Cruise Control !
Cheers
