993C4S-1.jpg (59842 bytes)

                                        C4S with RSR Suspension System (Street Springs)

993 - 993 Twin-Turbo & 996 - Twin-Turbo Performance Enhancements

Rennsport Systems now offers several suspension improvement packages for the 993-series & 996-series Porsches as well as Performance Chips for the 96-on OBDII-equipped cars.

We designed three basic suspension improvement packages to choose from. Each can be custom-tailored for your particular car and driving requirements.

Stage I: Lowering Springs & Bilstein HD Shocks

This is a simple, but very effective change to H&R Sport Springs that are compatible with the Factory shock valving. This will lower your 993 to the European Carrera RS ride that is approximately 1 ½" lower than USA-spec cars. This firms the ride up without being uncomfortable and really makes the car feel much tighter in lane changes as well as being more stable when driven quickly. This is about ½" lower than the Factory Euro M030 kit and slightly stiffer. Bilstein shocks replace the short-lived OEM Monroes and match the H&R springs very nicely. One can also install larger ROW M030 non-adjustable swaybars or the RS adjustable ones.

Here is a list of the different 993 swaybars;

  Front Rear
US Carrera 20mm 17mm
US Carrera M030 22mm 20mm
US Carrera S/4S 22mm 20mm
US Carrera S/4S M030 22mm 18mm
US Twin-Turbo 22mm 19mm
ROW Carrera 21mm 18mm
ROW Carrera M030 22mm 20mm
ROW Carrera S/4S 20mm 18mm
ROW Carrera S/4S M030 22mm 20mm
ROW Twin-Turbo 22mm 21mm
RS Adjustable bars 23mm 5-way 20mm 3-way

Stage II: Bilstein PSS-9 Coilovers & Carrera RS or GT-2 Adjustable Swaybars

PSS9kitb.jpg (62799 bytes)  This is a 9-way double adjustable, dual-spring, strut/shock package that allows some serious suspension tuning for these cars. These fully-threaded struts and shocks will also permit the use of the Carrera RS larger adjustable swaybars.

PSS9frontadj.jpg (14561 bytes)PSS9rearadja.jpg (30912 bytes)

Here are the 9-way adjusting knobs on the bottom of the struts and the rear shocks. The alloy collar is the rear upper swaybar mount that is movable for eliminating swaybar preload.

Monoball-equipped camber plates are also available but not generally recommended for street use unless additional camber is required.

 

Here is our Bilstein PSS-9 Rear Perch Kit: 

993rearperch5.jpg (113337 bytes)

This replaces the Bilstein upper spring perch designed for Monoballs. These offer the advantages of monoballs/camberplates (no deflection) without the noise & vibration associated with such components. Bilstein now provides these in all PSS-9 kits since 2005.

 

 

The RS front bar is a 23mm, 5-way adjustable unit and the rear RS bar is a 20mm (22mm for GT-2) 3-way adjustable unit. These come with all necessary brackets and droplinks. The stock front droplinks for a C4 or C4S will clear the front driveshafts except for the frontmost hole.

Stage III: Moton Clubsport Double-adjustable, Remote Reserviour Struts & Shocks with Carrera RS/GT-2 Adjustable Swaybars                     Clubsport strutsb.jpg (76002 bytes)

                            This kit contains:

1) Moton Clubsport 7-way (bump and rebound) adjustable remote reservoir Struts and Shocks.

2) 4 Main & 4 Tender Springs with billet separators.

3) Front Spring perches / hats / hardware.

4) Rear Spring perches / hats / hardware.

********************************************************************************

Carrera RS 3.8 Lightweight Flywheel & Clutch package

This kit replaces the heavy flywheel that is OEM on all 993's with the lightweight package from the RS.

This stock 3.6 flywheel weighs about 24 lbs compared to the RS flywheel which weighs 14 lbs.

The kit is comprised of:

1) Lightweight Flywheel

2) RS Pressure plate with more holding power

3) Sport Clutch disk

4) Release bearing

5) Guide Tube

6) Starter Ring

7) Pilot Bearing

******************************                                   

993 / 993 Twin Turbo & 996 Performance Chips OBD-II

Engine performance can be significantly improved with our new OBDII-compliant Motronic chips without triggering the "Check Engine" light. These chips will typically add about 7-8 % more overall torque to the naturally aspirated 996 with improved throttle response in the mid range.

The Motronic box must be sent to us for modification since Porsche didn’t use a chip socket on these cars. Fed-Ex Priority Service can keep downtime to minimum while this is being done.

*******************************************************************

993 Twin-Turbo Engine Performance Upgrades

Rennsport Systems offers several components that enhance the performance of these already fast cars.

We have OBD-II compliant power upgrade packages comprised of a new chip and various combinations of hardware that raises the stock 400 HP to:

Factory "Turbo S" 424-430 HP:

This is comprised of a remapped DME (customer-provided) and an additional front oil cooler.

Factory Street GT-2 480 HP or 520 HP:

This package consists of-

Customer re-mapped DME

(2) K-24 or Hybrid Turbochargers w/gaskets

5 bar Fuel Pressure regulator

Larger intercooler

Additional front oil cooler

Other options are cams, twin-ignition and mufflers

A 993 TT modified in this manner, will spin all the tires in the lower 3 gears! To say the least, it is a truly fast car.

A GT-2 Lightweight flywheel and HD clutch kit is also available for Twin-Turbo's that holds 500+ lbs-ft of torque

***************************************

996 OBD-II Chips

The performance of the 3.4 litre 996 Porsches can now be improved with a chip replacement. The 4000 to 6000 RPM range is significantly enhanced and we have seen a 19 HP increase at 5800 RPM.

Here are some comment from clients that have our re-programmed DME's:

Nelson wrote: "Chip is mean. Spent a half hour before meeting my wife beating the piss
out of the car. It can FLY, it just winds out so fast, major torque"

Ben said: "It's pulling MUCH harder from 4500 and up"

Mark wrote: "The
power change is remarkable. I feel like it is a completely different car"

"I could not be more pleased with the results.
Your chip is great. Please feel free to use me as a future reference for anyone who would like to get a first hand report of how well your chip works."

******* Warranty Questions & Issues*******

One of the most frequent subjects that is brought up when talking about chipping a car are warranty concerns. Many people wish to know if installing a chip will void or affect the warranty. This is a very legitimate question and the last word on this will decided by the Manufacturer and Dealer.

Now,.......you have very specific rights granted by Federal Antitrust laws and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act that you must be aware of to keep from being "stonewalled" by a Dealer or Manufacturer.

Under Federal Antitrust Laws, the use of parts or accessories that were not purchased from and installed by the Dealer do not affect the vehicle's warranty. Manufacturer's and their authorized representatives, may not condition a warranty on the use of their own parts or service, unless the parts or service are provided free of charge. Also, they may not refuse to honor a warranty unless they can show that an aftermarket part or accessory is the cause of a particular malfunction otherwise covered by the warranty.

In other words, warranty coverage cannot be denied simply because such parts are present on the vehicle or have been used. The warranty coverage can be denied only if the aftermarket parts caused the malfunction or damage for which warranty coverage is sought. Normally, these issues boil down to facts and technical opinions, rather than interpretations of the law.

Any denials of warranty should be gotten in writing from the Dealer. The Dealer must describe both the failure and how they believe the aftermarket part is responsible.
