Supercharger Performance and Engine Performance Parts

The ferocity of running circles around the competition can be further enhanced in the Cayman S through the use of engine performance parts and supercharger performance:

Cayman n. [From the language of Guiana: cf. Sp. caiman.]

The South America alligator.

The Porsche is Cayman S is a great package of performance, handling, and comfort. Being a Cayman in nature, the car sometimes requires an increase in its element of surprise and in its ability to grasp its prey with an un-escapable grasp followed by the infamous alligator ‘death roll’.

Naturally Aspirated Option:

If you’re an interested in a good increase of your Cayman’s performance, without the added complexity and cost of a supercharger system, then the following engine performance parts are available and proven for your car:

Intake components:

The Evolution Motor Sports V-Flow intake installs “in the factory location and utilize the OEM “ram air” fresh air ducts for lower air intake temperatures and added power. Additionally, [the] systems also incorporate a custom cotton air filter and a 6” injection molded Venturi” to improve airflow.

Dyno proven for 6 to 8 hp

Road Sport Supply (RSS) deliver two complimentary and proven products for the Cayman Intake system: The first is a

RSS IPD intake plenum

 high-flow intake plenum to improve airflow into the engine, this part alone is proven for a power gain of 23 hp @ 6300 RPMs. Additionally RSS has just released a complimentary 82mm ported throttle-body initially taken off a 997GT3. The addition of the throttle body has in some dyno tests shown an improvement of 11hp @ 6200 RPMs!

Dyno proven 23 to 34 hp

Exhaust components:

On the exhaust side of things, FabSpeed offers a complete exhaust solution for your Cayman including:

High flow performance headers featuring:

o   Equal length runners

o   A highflow merge collector

o   A 200 cell spun cell high flow catalytic converter.

o   Shifts peak power from 6200 RPMs up to 7000 RPMs producing higher peak power as well as a wider power band

A cat-back exhaust system featuring:

• Manderel bent tubing for smoother air flow
• Fabspeed Exhaust
• 10 lbs weight reduction over the factory system
• Eliminates the secondary catalytic converters reducing back pressure
• Fully compatible with the stock computer system
• Balance tube between the mufflers to equalize flow between both cylinder banks
• Dyno proven for 9 hp

Camshafts

                Schrick de & Doctor Schrick have been producing performance camshafts for European and especially German power cars since 1969. Schrick makes available for the Porsche 3.6 liter engine two sports cams:

                282 degrees of duration with 12mm of lift (Suitable for an 8000 RPM power peak)

                292 degrees of duration with 11.5mm of lift (Suitable for an 8600 RPM power peak)

Shifting peak power from 7000 RPMs to 8000 RPMs has a potential power increase of 14% or over 28 HP for your Cayman

Tuning & Support

Iridium spark plugs:

NGK offers the BKR6EIX-11 spark plugs for your Cayman, Iridium plugs give better and more consistent performance to your car and also improve idle stability and fuel efficiency.

GIAC Chip-tuning are the GO TO Chip tuner for euro car performance tuning and have tuning options for your car no matter what level of performance and what engine modifications you have performed on it. Their tune for a stock engine with only an added high flow air filter is dyno proven for 13 hp gain @ 6400 RPMs.

The combination of the above mentioned modifications will easily propel your Cayman over the 310 hp mark and extend your power band out over 7000 RPMs.

Supercharger Performance

If this kind of performance is still not satisfactory, then we need to change the plan a bit:

VF Engineering has been supercharging the Porsche 3.6 liter since it was introduced in the Carrera C2 and C4. Their supercharger kit will boost your engine to 6 PSI and provide a 40% increase in power over all other modifications. The kit is comprehensive and includes:

VF-Engineering Supercharger Kits

• Vortech V2 SQ supercharger.
• Vortec Chargecooler.
• Bosch high flow water circulation system.
• Porsche OEM water radiator kit.
• GIAC chip tuned with larger Bosch injectors.
• Top speed governor removed.
• Bosch pressure relief bypass system.
• High temp molded polymer pipework
• K&N induction filter.
• 1 year unlimited mileage warranty on supercharger kit parts.
• Made in California, USA

The kit includes its own intake kit to feed air to the supercharger, as well as its own performance tune from GIAC, so the Evolution Motorsports V-Power intake is no longer needed and neither is the GIAC chip tune recommended earlier. Also, it is advisable when adding more than 50hp to a vehicle to switch to a 1 step colder spark plug such as the NGK BKR7AIX-11 or Denso IK24. So bear this in mind when deciding your ultimate power goals for your Cayman as it is wasteful to spend money on parts only later to replace them when you supercharge the car.

With the following modifications:

RSS Plenum & 83mm Throttle body, the Fabspeed Header and Catback Exhaust, and the GIAC tuned and K&N Fed VF Engineering supercharger kit you can expect to reach over the 420hp with your Cayman S. Serious bite from a serious car!
