Porsche 944 Turbo: Installing Aftermarket ECU - How to

[@passolaman6338]

Great video.....although Im jealous of the fact that the turbo can get a lot of increased power fairly easily 😊 . With my 944NA its a long road of modifications just to eek out the hp. But ive enjoyed tweaking it over the years and i love all the 944 family.

[@jbfinishingsjellebilliau9054]

I really like your wheels,color combo is great😎

[@NieJestemzPolskiPL]

Great job! 👍

[@dynochannel]

Thank you 😊

Ive been trying to look for ways to modify my 84 N/A but i can find almost nothing, granted ive only been searching for a month or 2 but its hard

[@dynochannel]

@@z3r0128 turbo and modern ECU is the way to go if you want power. If you want to keep it N/A a new ECU might still be good to get it to run better all through the rev range.

[@robertspeljak]

Great stuff! What have to be done to be able to go E85?

[@dynochannel]

[@kululv]

hello, do you have a version for the 944S?

[@dynochannel]

@@kululv Hi, yes we do. Mounted a kit on a 944 NA a couple of weeks ago. The kit is not up in the webshop yet but still available. Send me a mail at [e-mail] and we can discuss a plug & play kit that fits you.

[@idus]

can the maxx basic run wasted spark for a v8 or is it specific firmware for a 4 cyl?

[@dynochannel]

The most basic version (Mini) can run 8 cyl waste spark. Usually our customers go by the "Street" or "Race" version to get built in wideband, and it handles 12 cyl if you go by waste spark. 👍

Does the factory DME connector not present any limitations compared to a more modern connector without an adapter?

[@dynochannel]

Hi Joe! We haven't see any limitations with this setup. Used it on 100+ Porsches and Volvos now, both on street cars and in motorsport. Since the new ECU is way more advanced we can adjust parameters to improve both performance, cold start and get cleaner exhaust gases 👍

[@944terbo]

@@dynochannel some more questions. Why no option for Lambda 4.9 in your configurator? I also need a full wiring harness but I’m not sure what custom connections to request. Can you provide guidance on what to get in order to allow for future options? Do you have these ready to ship out or is there a wait time?

[@dynochannel]

@@944terbo I'm answering here too if someone else wonders the same thing. (I answered Joe by DM). 1. MaxxECU recommends using Lambda 4.2. That's why we chose that for our standard harness. The harness can be modified to fit 4.9 if customer wants. 2. The harness is built to fit most customers that want modern performance in their classic car without cutting into standard wiring. You can add more tuning parts and functions later on if needed. We have a few of these kits ready to ship within a week.

[@spdygon2766]

I’m guessing this new ecu will work on a turbo S…where is this new ecu available and can it be shipped to the USA?

[@dynochannel]

Hi, yes it fits. You can find adapter wiring and ecu on drivestore.se.

[@vincentcurran2584]

Can this be done for 83 944 2.5 l

[@dynochannel]

Hi, sorry for my late reply. We mounted this in a 944 NA last week. Worked great. Reach out to me on [e-mail] and we can take the discussion from there.

[@blue35tuesday]

Do you have one for the 968???

[@dynochannel]

Hi! Not sure if it is the same ECU in them. Send me some pictures of your ECUs at [e-mail]. We can probably develop a similar kit for you.

[@Alex-ns2qq]

@@dynochannel I would be interested in a kit for a 968 as well. They use the same 28 pin Bosch Motronic DME, just without the KLR of course.

[@robertspeljak]

is bigger injectors all you need to go E85?

[@dynochannel]

@@robertspeljak injectors and a tune 👍

[@robertspeljak]

What kind of power increase on stock turbo can I expect?

[@dynochannel]

@@robertspeljak we are running stock turbo on this car.~300whp.

[@robertspeljak]

@@dynochannel gasolin E95 or ethanol E85?

[@dynochannel]

@@robertspeljak e85. Any time you see a swedish car thats running ethanol it is most Likely e85. We have that at the gas stations here 👍

[@michaelcaputo4094]

Is this the same as vems?

[@dynochannel]

@@michaelcaputo4094 no, it is a different manufacturer. Many tuners are shifting over to maxxecu now. 👍
