Vivid Racing Releases the VR825 Power Kit for the Porsche 997 Turbo

Publishsed by Dan on October 28th, 2009 | Posted in Product Info | No Comments »

Streetability, high performance, racing inspired, and proven testing are all words to describe the VR825 power package for the 2007 to 2009 Porsche 997 Turbo. With a true bolt-on Garrett turbo kit for the 996 Turbo in our history, we wanted to take the same development, but enhance it 100% for the 997 Turbo. Realization of what the stock 997 Turbo motor was capable of, set us on the path to create this power kit. Beginning R&D in December 2008, we thrived to develop a bolt-on turbo kit that was capable of 1000 horsepower with engine modifications. For those 997 Turbo owners that do not want to touch the internals of the engine and keep the driveability as well as functionality of their car on a day to day basis is where we end at the VR825 Power Kit. This kit was designed around the daily driver and built to give your 997 Turbo the driveability of a stock car while around town or headed to dinner. However once you get into boost, the car is an insane piece of equipment designed to test your foots threshold.

Agency Power Releases Racing TB/Plenum for Porsche 997TT

Publishsed by Dan on October 20th, 2009 | Posted in Product Info | No Comments »

Adding bolt-on horsepower to the 997 Turbo is a continuous quest by many enthusiasts looking for more power.  Reverting back to old tuning technologies, Agency Power has developed a larger throttle body and plenum kit for the Porsche 997 Turbo to gain added performance.  The point of a larger throttle body is to get in more air. The more air you bring in, the more power you make.  The 997 Turbo’s engine intake system works off pulses, so how that air is diverted to either side of the engine is not as important as the volume incoming.  The plenum kit includes an OEM Porsche Cayenne Turbo throttle body (part# 94860511503) which is a direct bolt on and plug in for the electronic throttle control with no modifications needed.  This throttle body has a 77.64mm inner diameter compared to the stock one of 75.64mm.  We chose to go with this smaller diameter throttle body to give the car more low end horsepower and torque.  If the diameter of the throttle body is to big, it will increase turbo lag and performance gains will only be made at the mid to top end RPM range.  Since most 997 Turbo users drive their car on the street and track, we developed this product to substantially increase throttle response and improve “usable” power.

The Agency Power plenum kit is made using high quality 6061 aluminum that has been TIG welded and pressure tested in a T shape to mimic the OEM design.  The CNC machined 4 bolt throttle body flange features a groove to accompany a rubber o-ring to ensure a secure and sealed fit with the OEM Porsche Cayenne throttle body.  The T plenum features the necessary fittings for stock vacuum hoses and breather lines and includes a 1 way check valve needed.  Each T plenum is powder coated gloss black for an OEM look and includes new silicone couplers in black and worm clamps to secure it to the factory intake manifolds.  The installation of the plenum requires removal of the factory airbox and Y pipe to access the component.  Recommended installation time is approximately 3 hours.

Installation of the Agency Power plenum kit DOES NOT require the ECU to be flashed.  The factory ECU will adjust accordingly to the change in throttle body diameter.  However, corresponding mods including an ECU flash will only bring out additional power.  As it stands alone, the plenum kit will add a bolt on 20 wheel horsepower to your Porsche 997 Turbo.  As tested on a VR700 kit, the plenum added nearly 45 horsepower and 60 ft/lbs of torque.  This product features the Agency Power 90 day warranty and is Made in the USA.

BMW 318TI Built to Shred and Geared to the Top

Publishsed by Dan on June 9th, 2009 | Posted in Client Cars | No Comments »

Thought I would show off this BMW 318TI of a customer of ours.  You might think this is just a cute little old BMW hatchback.  In actuality, it is a MONSTER.  The 318TI has been shoehorned with a E36 M3 motor that is built and then Turbocharged.  With an AEM EMS stand alone ECU, this car makes 400 horsepower (Read More Here) to the rear wheels on our Mustang dyno.  The car has been trimmed up by removing interior components to make it weigh almost 500lbs lighter then stock.  It features a complete Rieger body kit with custom center exit exhaust, OZ Superleggera wheels powdercoated gloss black, Recaro Speed Seats, and the latest addition, custom white Brembo brakes.  These cheesy iPhone pictures dont do it justice, but this car is a BAMF!

Softronic and Vivid Racing Partner to Power Up Porsche Cayman’s

Publishsed by Dan on June 5th, 2009 | Posted in Product Info | No Comments »

The Porsche 987’s Boxster and Cayman platform is a great all around car for the street or track. Its mid engine provides great weight distribution for a well balanced vehicle. Vivid Racing’s Stage 1 kit is designed to improve the vehicles power band from increased torque to stronger pull on the top end RPM range. In addition, you will notice quicker throttle response from the improved air flow and ECU changes. 

Our Stage 1 kit consists of the Softronic ECU Flash inconjunction with their popular Softronic Racing Plenum. The plenum uses a larger throttle body to direct more air into the normal aspirated engine. With the specific tune that Softronic does for this plenum, you will gain a real and proven 25 wheel horsepower. With a 15% drivetrain loss, that takes your Cayman’s power level up substantially. The Softronic Racing Plenum uses factory Porsche parts to guarantee you an OEM look, fit, and finish with no troubles or false claims. The Softronic ECU Flash is done via the OBDII port with the provided Durametric cable. The Durametric cable also allows you to clear trouble codes, data log your vehicle, and more, see www.durametric.com for more info. The process to do the ECU flash is about 30 minutes to download your existing file and then 30 minutes to upload the new Tuned file. The Softronic ECU Flash will alter your fuel and timing maps to provide you a overall improved driving characteristics. With Softronic, you can always reload your stock file if need be. See all the rave reviews on this product at www.planetporsche.net.

Stage 1 Includes –

  • Softronic Racing Plenum
  • Larger Throttle Body
  • Durametric Flash Cable
  • Softronic Custom Tuned ECU Flash

With the use of the Softronic Racing Plenum and custom tuned ECU flash to gain 25 wheel horsepower as seen in Stage 1, we up the power of this Stage 2 kit using the Agency Power exhaust system and K&N high flow intake filter. The Softronic ECU flash is designed to take advantage of the increased air flow as provided with the larger throttle body and plenum installed. Once you have increased the intake airflow, you need to free up the exhaust system with the proper amount of back pressure retained. The Agency Power exhaust system is all T304 stainless steel designed to eliminate your secondary catalytic converters and save alot of weight reduced off the rear end. The precision tuned muffler gives the car an excellent race tone without droning in the cabin. With additional of the high flow K&N air filter, this Stage 2 kit touches an impressive 40 wheel horsepower. With a 15% drivetrain loss, your Cayman is at another level.
