We TUNED the New Porsche 718 Cayman T // Dyno & Test Drive!

[@racingdatasystems3708]

FYI: Factory Diag (Piwis3) allows you to put the PSM into "rolling road mode".. no need for a 4wh dyno.

[@vivid_racing]

If you have one…

[@Muleyasama]

I'm from the UK... literally EVERYONE here knows how ti drive a manual. Whether you're 17 years old or 70 lol that said I just picked up a 718 Cayman S a week ago with PDK. amazing car! can't wait to get the APR stage 1 tune on it (Even though stock its an animal).

[@vivid_racing]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

Save the manuals!!!!

[@alexturnqest6202]

I just turned 24 a week ago and I learned how to drive stick on my buddies old tricked out NA miata. Now I just brought my first true car and it’s a r53 Mini Cooper S.😏manual enthusiasts will live on.

718 Base & a Manual is my ride. Great drivers car

[@Meowmii4023]

I'm 21, have a 2019 Civic Si. Obsessed with the Cayman S right now and thinking about buying one next month.

[@vivid_racing]

That's awesome, definitely a great car!

[@paulb7207]

As I own 718 Cayman T myself I need to ask: does the acceleration feel significantly better? What would be 0-62mph time difference? Or maybe even 0-124mph? No real numbers needed just curious about the feeeeeeliiing.... haha! :-) Great video by the way!!!

[@vivid_racing]

Unfortunately, we didn't get the chance to record any 0-60 data. The acceleration is incredible after the tune though. More importantly the throttle response is much more snappy which feels amazing when going wide open throttle.

[@edubwalter3179]

I can only imagine the numbers you could get out of the Cayman S 2.5 liter! I'm deciding on which Cayman to buy...this helps, thanks!

Awesome, thanks for watching!

Last manual was Mk6 Golf R, evolved to DSG, hard debate between the two for me ... but a Cayman T manual with a tune on track day sounds like a Gr8 time

[@vivid_racing]

It definitely is! Thanks for watching!

hoping to see more videos, i love 4 cylinder engines.. and very interest in one cayman 718 T

[@vivid_racing]

Stay tuned!

[@Jayturbo_ENTJ]

Hey long time no see! This is Jay Lee (Bruce Lee now), the one who sold your partner my Gallardo from Irvine, CA. The 45whp gain was with the mufflers changed too or just the ECU flash? Also how much is it and the final gain (HP)?

[@vivid_racing]

hey there! Flash and supporting mods.

[@matthewwain9958]

I saw other tuners had managed to flatten out the massive dip in the middle of the range (Apparently the ECU is pulling power for some reason so they had to account for it). Is that something you are able to account for?

[@TheNorville2]

It depends where you are, most cars are manual in the UK

[@simonbussey7530]

The power dip just after 5k is not ideal. I'm guessing that's a hardware restriction from the way the turbo delivers it's power and becomes more obvious when the boost is turned up?

[@vivid_racing]

The dip is occurring because the charge temps are increasing at that RPM due to it being over 105ºF in the dyno room. The car is pulling timing back when it sees a charge temp that high. Upgrading the cooling system would eliminate this all together.

[@1michaelricci]

What cooking system upgrades are you referring to? Are they available aftermarket?

[@JakobusVdL]

@@vivid_racing, do I understand correctly that the dip is due to the capacity of the intercooler? If so, does that mean that the output after the dip is also being held back by high charge temps? It would be interesting to see what results you'd get with cooler ambient temps, or a bigger/better intercooler.

[@don_huzan]

Awesome video displaying the change in power, that’s what really important. No frills no BS and straight to the point! Btw, I’m 22 and the last manual car I’ve owned was an E46 M3 I sold last winter, I learned how to drive stick when I was 16 in a 94 NA Miata :D

[@vivid_racing]

We appreciate it! M3's are sick and that's an awesome way to learn! Thanks for watching!

[@don_huzan]

@@vivid_racing Thanks for the video! I’m in the market for a cayman 2.0T and this video showcasing the manual just put this car on my watchlist! Thanks again. Imma sub

[@Iswhatitisssss]

Wow Dude congratulations

[@miamigt4922]

Great vid! Thanks so much for the great info. I have a ‘20 GT4 and love the new T, so sweet to be able to get so much power out of just a tune, that’s the practicality of a turbo compared to my flat-6. When everything is electric in 10 years, people will yearn for how great the turbo flat 4s in ‘the old cars’ sound, lol.

[@vivid_racing]

We appreciate it! And that sound will never get old 🤣

[@raph2206]

Any issues with the engine or else after the tune? Change of consumption? Oil? Temperature? Have a 718 boxster thinking to tune it but afraid about the consequences afterwards. And what is the best tune for a 718? Thanks for your information

[@vivid_racing]

Absolutely no issues

[@MikePhDPEGC]

The previous turbo build doesn't look like a 981 to me. maybe a 987?

[@vivid_racing]

You are right

[@joejkrebuilt1640]

The only manual in our fleet right now is our Beetle Turbo S 6 speed, but I prefer driving manual most of the time

[@vivid_racing]

Nothing beats the feeling of having that third pedal and having complete control over what gear you are in.

[@eccomz]

Funny how you said people don't know how to drive manual, then you put it in Reverse and shown going forward.

[@vivid_racing]

It was a prank, late April fools. Thank you for watching!

[@bokicveki5489]

@@vivid_racing Good one 😄👍

[@tylerg749]

My current manual is a MK2. Audi TT RS

[@bokicveki5489]

Great car 👍

[@notsponsored103]

All 3 of my kids are under 22. All drive manuals, daughter included. On that dip in power, this looks like the knock strategy to me. This is obviously something that needs to be corrected as part of this performance upgrade. If it's charge temps at the upper limit of the turbo why doesn't it fall over there? Could it be a fuel rail resonance at that rpm causing a pressure problem and temporarily leaning out the mix. I'd like to see if anyone has spent some time looking closer at this issue.

[@vivid_racing]

It could be a multitude of things, but the temps here are not always friendly in the dyno room.

[@DS-vx3wf]

need to upgrade Turbo as well!

[@vivid_racing]

maybe soon 🙊

[@arturlino8814]

Perhaps do you know why iafter a stage 1 tune i hear a whistle sound from the car? thanks

[@vivid_racing]

Hi! We do not. We recommend taking it to the nearest shop & have it diagnosed!

I’m 25!! I have a boxster that’s pdk BUT my 2004 Mercedes c230 kompressor is a 6 speed manual!

[@vivid_racing]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@PraetorUA]

Is this a generic ECU flash you bought for this car and flashed on to the ECU? Or do you actually custom-tune the vehicle?

[@vivid_racing]

Each file is created specifically for the software you read out. No such thing as generic.

[@PraetorUA]

@@vivid_racing Thank you. Are there any mods you'd recommend before this to get even more? For example are there intake or exhaust restrictions? I looked on your website but couldn't see anything on the product page.

[@suaymoilee6044]

Does it requires run in after tuning is done?

[@ronin120]

totally new to tuning...how much does something like this cost? Also how long does it take to do something like this?

[@vivid_racing]

Check out the link in description to the product page with all info

[@rembo183]

The manual is standard on all the 718’s, including the Base 718 Cayman that’s starts $10,000 below the “T”. As you know the most track focused Cayman is the GT4. The GTS is better equipped than a T and has the flat six cylinder engine. The of course the prices for the GTS and GT4 are much higher. $74k; $90knfor GTS and $100k

[@rembo183]

The best choice for street and track use is the GTS Cayman. It’s got all the performance parts of the GT4 and the T plus a six cylinder and it’s at least $10k less than GT4.

[@vivid_racing]

Thanks for all the info! We appreciate you watching!

[@doug3011]

what about turbo lag. I hear it doesnt get going until about 2500 rpm in stock, is there less lag with this tune. interesting vid.d

[@vivid_racing]

Yes, there is slightly less lag with the tune installed!

[@SechristDrives]

Was that the agency power exhaust? Cant tell from video if it’s much better than the PSE the car had.

[@vivid_racing]

Unfortunately AP transitioned from car parts to UTV parts but we have very similar products if you're interested send us an email at [e-mail] for more info!

[@StefBelgium]

Is it safe a such increase of power on a that small turbo charged engine? I m getting my new 718T next week and wondering if I ll be brave enough to tune it!

[@vivid_racing]

Absolutely it is

[@StefBelgium]

@@vivid_racing may I ask then why Porsche does not do it right away if they can sell a car with 50 BHP more than the current tune? They could maybe gain some market shares since people may step back from that model because they find it too low in HP vs other cars with similar price tag and being more powerful.

[@vivid_racing]

To meet epa, mpg, general customer standards. This is what makes the aftermarket a billion dollar industry.

[@StefBelgium]

@@vivid_racing appreciate you took the time to answer. Nice channel btw! Take care
