      Porsche 3.4L 981 Boxster S / Cayman S ECU Tune

    • Power gain Up To

      +35 HP

      Torque gain Up To

      +17 TQ

      Advertised gains are estimates of HP and Torque “at the engine” calculated from gains as measured on a Dynojet Dynamometer in ideal conditions and typically show the largest possible change.  Actual gains are dependent on the following: Learn More about Crank HP Vs Wheel HP

      Model – Manufacturers use the same engine in multiple model vehicles and often times they are in a different state of tune, for example: 2008 C63 and a 2008 CLK Black Series.  Both have the same engine, but the C63 has 451hp while the CLK63 has 500hp.  Naturally the C63 will show more gains as it starts at a lower level.

      Model Year – Similar to above, as time progresses, Manufacturers tend to slightly increase power output via software from one year to the next or offer “Performance Packages” with increased power.  The engines remain largely unaltered and as a result, final tuned output remains the same, while the gains are lower as the starting point is now higher.

      Fuel – Fuel quality is HIGHLY important with performance vehicles.  Low quality and/or low octane fuel will greatly impact engine output and potentially even engine health.  Top tier brand premium fuels should always be used to achieve the best results possible.

      Drivetrain – All wheel drive has higher drivetrain losses than rear wheel drive.  This results in lower numbers when testing on a chassis dyno.  Wheel/tire size and weight will also impact chassis dyno results

      Weather/Conditions – Temperature, humidity, altitude, and air density all impact engine performance.  Heat, high humidity, and thin air will all work towards reducing engine output

      Engine Health – Higher miles tends to result in increased build up and lower compression which can and will impact engine output.  Properly maintained engines will have better performance than abused or neglected engines.

      Supporting modifications – The highest power levels require supporting modifications.  Depending on the engine, this could mean forged internals, built transmission, upgraded fuel system, 110+ octane race fuel, etc.

    Product Description


    The 981-generation 3.4L flat-six is the high-water mark of Porsche's naturally aspirated Boxster and Cayman engines, the last major refinement of that formula before the 718's turbo-four switch. It introduced a closed-deck Alusil block and direct fuel injection, and critically, it eliminated the intermediate shaft design that had plagued earlier water-cooled flat-sixes, making it both more rigid and more reliable than everything that came before it. Refined, durable, and free-revving in a way no turbocharged engine was ever trying to replicate, this is naturally aspirated Porsche engineering at its most complete.

    Weistec's ECU tune builds on that factory engineering rather than working around it. It's a software recalibration written to the same validation standard Porsche used for its own calibration. Knock protection, thermal management, and OEM diagnostics all remain exactly as the factory intended, because the goal here is to extract more from a genuinely great design, not change what it is. On this engine that yields a gain from 325 to 360 horsepower and 273 to 290 lb-ft of torque, all from software refinement of hardware that was already engineered exceptionally well.

    Complete The Upgrade

    An ECU tune alone won't remove all factory limits or fix how power reaches the ground. Add these to round out the upgrade with no limitations.
    Read the full CPC & TCU breakdown →

    What is a CPC module?

    The CPC (Central Powertrain Control) is a separate control unit that manages things like the active exhaust valves, radiator fan, intercooler pumps, and speed limiter. On many newer Mercedes-Benz vehicles, it also houses torque limiters that can hold back an ECU tune from reaching its full potential.

    What is a TCU tune?

    A TCU (transmission control unit) tune delivers faster, firmer shifts with higher line pressure, reducing clutch slip and increasing the transmission's torque capacity. It's a worthwhile upgrade on its own, or paired with an ECU tune for a fully sorted powertrain.

    Good to Know

    • This is a reflash of your original module, not a stand-alone unit.
    • Power gains vary by vehicle, modifications, fuel, and operating conditions (ambient temperature, altitude, etc.).
    • New or upgraded spark plugs are always recommended when tuning.
    • Product may not be emissions compliant. Check local laws prior to installation.
    • Always use a battery charger during programming.
