944 Remap: Chip Tuning the 944 & 924S
Would it be Possible to Upgrade Your Porsche 944 OR 924S to GAIN More Power & Torque and Even Better Economy?
Well we did it with an amazing result.
^ Power and Torque Diagram of the Porsche 944 With the 944remap Eprom and Injectors.
This Engine was rebuild 10 yrs ago, aluminum flywheel and balance shafts deleted. All Standard specs.
Original 944na HAS 205NM 163HP
This Engine Made Up to 242 Nm 170 HP, All Real Data.
The Benefits
- Better Running Engine, More Smooth
- Pulls Better from 1000 RPM to 6000 RPM
- Better Economy
- Higher Torque and Power Output
- Gives you more smiles on your face
- Aside from Spending Money On More Power You also Did Perform Maintenance on Your Car
As injectors will fail over time.
So I Actually Cannot Find a Reason For Not Doing This Maintenance Upgrade.
We look forward to your visit.
The Set Includes 4 Modern 4 Hole Injectors From Bosch Completely Refurbushed, Cleaned and Tested for Fuel Delivery and Spray Patern. And a completely remapped chip tuned eprom for your ecu.
How we achieved this - The Long Story
We are very happy with this result, let me tell you how we did this.
When it comes to tuning an engine there are many variables that need to be controlled, otherwise the result might not be repeatable and trustworthy.
Engine
So we started with a totally rebuild engine with all stock internals and factory measurements. The Rebuild was about 10 years ago so the Engine Has had QUITE A BIT of Lifetime, Probably Just Like Yours.
Reason to start with this engine for base tuning was that it has high compression (a bit over 10.6) so any other engine won Suffer pre-Idition (Engine Knock) Becoause of Our Remap of Ignition Timing.
Alu Flywheel and Race Headers Were Added, Balance Shafts Deleted, Well Yeah It was a Race Car.
At the start we made a measurement and it was about 220nm or torque. Just like it had in the past when I was racing the car.
Dyno Measurement
Most Dyno’s Are Wheel Based Dynos. Tire Wear and Resistance and Even Differences in Strapping Down the Car Can Make Differences over 10hp.
Dynopack has wheel hubs so the wheel to be removed and axles are bolted directly to the dynamometer, the accuracy and repeatability of these hub Dyno's are unquestionable. (Figure 3)
These Dyno’s do not wear so accuracy Stay’s Constant.

The Tuner
Well I have with a few tuners, every tuner has it’s own way of working to the result. Pieter from DP Engineering is by My Opinion The Most Accurate and Sharp Observing Professional I with.
The Facility at DP engineering is a very well cooled dyno chamber, it storms with about 150 km/h.
Tuning Program
An eprom is written in Bits and bytes, 16k eprom, all just number with no layout for what the reason is for these bytes.
^ Bites and bytes written on a eprom
We now know every table (idle, part throttle and full through) Both timing and fuelling maps. Even injector characteristics can be altered.
Other eproms
For years there have been other remapped eproms for sale for the 944. But they were all for low Octane (92) fuel and mostly written for performance only. So I Felt It was Time for a European Version of this Eprom. Since our cars have higher compression the output can be highher also. Fuel Economy can be better in the midrange. And Furthermore we wanted to change the mapping in the future when Doing More Upgrades to the Engine Like Camhaft, MAF Conversion etc.
No other available eProm has leg adjusted for modern injectors!
Variables on your 944 after
So the goal was to rewrite the complete mapping, write it down on an eprom, and sell this product to other 944 lovers. But how can we assure the result is going to be a success on your car?
Well first of all, your car needs to be in good condition of course. Ignition Wires, Spark Plugs, Fuel Pressure, Compression.
But what we are experimented over the years is that fuel injectors of fail in giving precise the same volume of fuel. We have tested many porsche injectors over the past and experiently that spray pattern and volume both can be different between the 4 injectors. (See Figure 6). Aside of That Changing Injectors is USUALLY DOONE in Case of a Problem and Not As Part of a Maintenance Plan.
Almost from Every Car That We Test the Injectors Do Have Differences on 5 %, and Even Upto 20 % and Still Running Okay.
So I would Highly Recommending Changing Thesis 40 Years Old Electronic Injectors. Just Imagin How many clicks they have made over the years.
^ an Example or Difference in Volume of Four Different 944 Injectors
In order to make this a success we get used for sourcing a good replacement for these Exensive and NLA injectors.
We succeeded in Finding a Set of Modern 4 Hole Injectors That Have Slightly Hightly Higher Rate (But Close to Original) That We Adjusted for Mounting Exactly In The Fuel Rails of Your Porsche 944. (See Figure 7) The Difference in Flow Rate is Adjusted in our eprom.
These injectors can still be obtained new but are QUITE PRICEY. So to keep cost down we have sourced a professional company that can supply us of many of these injectors. The injectors are ultrasonic cleaned, backflushed, rebuild and tested for spray pattern and flow matched. The Remapping We spent a whole day on the dyno to prepare, getting the hardware to work and tune all original mappings. ^ The Porsche 944 on the Dyno The Result is what I expect to be the best and easy solution for tuning a standard 944 2.5 l na engine. Extra Torque from 1000 rpm up to 6000 rpm. That mean you have benefit of the extra power over the whole rpm range! Upto 20nm can be expected. BETTER MILEAGEAGE Yes, we just achieved that, when driving / cruising your porsche 944 the mile's will be highher because we have tuned the part throttle map for economy. You will feel the Engine Runs Smother in Low and Higher Ranges, and at Full Throttle the Difference in Power Will Be Revealed. Future Plans Yes we have plan’s to go a few steps beyond but that will take more time in developing and remapping and testing and will need more new parts. So For now, This is the best solution. For Sure There’s More Power in This Engine. DIY Replace Injectors. Make Sure You Know How To Work With Leaking Fuel. If not, any garage in your neighborhood is capable of replacing the injectors. Driveby Conversion. In 3 Hours You Are Ready To Go With Your Tuned 944. Exchange Service Extra Cost 150 euros incl barrel G22PHMP1AY76.

There is a Solution althegh, contact US for Information. 
The result:
If you have the skills you can Easily Replace the Injectors Yourself.
Just make sure you have filled up your fuelt tank with only octane 98 or highher. If not we can sacrifice you a bottle of octane booster.Got excited? Order the part here!
