Porsche 928 Performance Upgrades

Over its 18 year production run, the Porsche 928 proved itself as an exceptional car. Though considered grand tourer by most standards, its handling exhibited all the poise and power one would expect of a sports car.

At its launch, this car was an engineering marvel; and over its lifespan underwent various modifications. The GTS engine gave it a remarkable 0-60 time of 5.2 seconds.

Power Chips

Most modern cars feature an engine management computer which controls many essential engine functions – from gearing and ignition timing to air/fuel ratios and stabilization – including gearing, ignition timing and performance chips (also called super chips or tuning chips) designed to ensure CO2 emissions do not exceed government safety standards. While factory limitations limit performance in order to meet regulatory safety standards, performance chips (also called tuning chips or super chips) remove factory restrictions to enable your car to perform at its optimum level.

Performance chips work by altering the factory lookup tables of your car to optimize performance without compromising fuel economy or other important considerations. They’re easy to install without needing additional equipment, while reputable manufacturers usually provide various tuning options so you can tailor it specifically to suit your driving style and preferences.

Implementing a performance chip into your car can transform its versatility and reliability, improving towing capabilities by increasing horsepower and torque, as well as creating a more enjoyable driving experience for you.

One additional advantage of performance chips is their ability to increase fuel economy. By altering spark plug timing and other settings, they can make your engine run more efficiently by shutting off cylinders when they are no longer required – some performance chips even improve your fuel economy by up to 20%!

Some may fear that performance chips could damage their engines; this is only the case if they are installed improperly. To ensure optimal installation results, always follow the installation instructions included with each chip – most can be completed within 15 minutes!

If you’re in search of an easy and more affordable upgrade for your Porsche 928, power chips are an ideal way to do it. Your insurance rates might increase slightly; but this small price to pay can lead to enhanced handling, fuel efficiency and horsepower output – especially when combined with other Porsche Performance Parts such as an air intake kit or turbo charger! The results can be even more dramatic!

Super Charger Kit

Installing a supercharger kit will bring maximum value for money to your 928. You’ll gain up to 300+ HP, making your car much more of a performance car than when new.

This upgrade won’t kill off Supra or Viper models, but will give your car enough power that it will make driving enjoyable every time. While its low rpm acceleration won’t compare with that of your stock car, this upgrade can still provide plenty of enjoyment – although more costly than its alternatives. To maximize performance on any given road surface or terrain. This upgrade offers maximum value.

Harrop’s kit included a custom made manifold that I connected with an Eaton TVS 1320 blower, along with all of the necessary hardware and pieces. Though its price may seem steep compared to some turbo kits or superchargers, you’re paying for ease of installation, completeness of kit components and proprietary hardware (Harrop only manufactures their kits). Hardware itself was well designed/planned/manufactured while early instruction manuals provided clear explanations.

Only downside to the supercharger kit is its incompatibility with all Porsche models; specifically it fits US/Euro/ROW cars from 1979-1984 with digital LH fuel injection and EZF spark systems (not L-Jetronic systems which do not allow chip upgrades or modifications).

Consider also adding air induction kits and ECU remapping to increase horsepower further, and for something truly exotic a stroker kit can push out to 6litres – although be warned – but such upgrades require extensive research prior to undertaking them!

Exhaust System

The exhaust system is responsible for routing and expelling gases from an engine’s exhaust. It consists of components such as an exhaust manifold, oxygen sensors, catalytic converter, muffler resonator and tail pipe – with upgrades available to enhance their performance even further.

An aftermarket exhaust upgrade kit can provide your vehicle with enhanced power, enhanced sound characteristics and customization options. Perhaps the most noticeable feature of a performance exhaust system is its superior sound quality; many aftermarket systems allow you to switch between various sound modes or remotely control its output; this allows for both gentle daily driving as well as more aggressive excursions.

The exhaust manifold sits atop your engine and captures any waste gases created when fuel is burned in your cylinders, such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide. From here, they travel onward to your vehicle’s catalytic converter – this part of its exhaust system contains metals such as platinum, rhodium and palladium that react chemically with these toxic fumes to remove up to 90% of them from emissions.

Your exhaust gases pass from the catalytic converter through a muffler and resonator in order to reduce engine noise. A typical glasspack muffler reduces back pressure by trapping sound waves; similarly, resonators act like silencers in that they cancel out engine sounds of certain frequencies.

Exhaust piping connects all of the important pieces of your vehicle’s exhaust system together and is typically made from either aluminized or stainless steel to resist corrosion, often being bent and welded for optimal fitment. Muffler hangers (sometimes known as exhaust hangers) may also be used to secure it and keep it connected to its system.

An aftermarket exhaust system for your Porsche 928 could include features like a turbo kit, catalytic converter and muffler to increase horsepower output and increase performance. By upgrading these parts on existing equipment, this could make a dramatic difference to its power output.

Wheels & Tires

Changes to your car’s wheels and tires can have a drastic impact on its handling, performance and aesthetics. By upgrading to larger wheels and tires you can improve traction while improving aesthetics while simultaneously increasing performance and aesthetics.

when selecting new rims and tires, it’s essential to take your driving habits and weather conditions into consideration when making your selections. For example, if you frequently drive on highways then a tire that offers excellent traction under wet or dry conditions would likely be best; conversely if you prefer winding roads then something with more tread would help ensure a better control when cornering.

Your choice of tire will also have an effect on how much gas your vehicle uses; low-pressure tires tend to be more fuel-efficient due to having lower rolling resistance; this helps achieve greater fuel economy for your car. To further optimize fuel economy, make sure all tires are regularly inflated to achieve greater fuel economy.

Upgraded wheels and tires can not only increase fuel efficiency but can also save money. Package deals often offer the best value; additionally, many packages feature warranties to provide added peace of mind.

Addition of larger wheels and tires can greatly improve traction and handling in your Porsche 928. By selecting an appropriately sized tire for your car’s suspension system, ensuring it fits seamlessly can help to optimize traction and handling performance.

Purchase of a wheel and tire package ensures that its components will match in style and size – this ensures an aesthetically pleasing and functional vehicle setup without vibrations or body parts rubbing together.

When purchasing wheels and tires, be sure to consider other upgrades that can enhance your car’s performance, such as installing a high-performance brake system. This upgrade can allow for faster stopping times – particularly important in urban settings or highway driving where quick stopping times are paramount.
