The Fabspeed XperTune Performance Software is an ECU performance upgrade developed for the Porsche 997.2 Carrera and Carrera S (2009–2012). Designed to optimise the factory engine calibration, the software improves horsepower, torque, throttle response and overall driving characteristics while retaining everyday drivability.
Fits:
- Porsche 997 MKII Carrera C2 3.6L 2009-12
- Porsche 997 MKII Carrera C4 3.6L 2009-12
- Porsche 997 MKII Carrera C2S 3.8L 2009-12
- Porsche 997 MKII Carrera C4S 3.8L 2009-12
Rather than requiring the ECU to be removed and sent away for bench flashing, the XperTune system uses an included handheld tuning device that connects to the vehicle through its OBD-II diagnostic port. The handheld is also connected to a Windows PC during the tuning process, allowing the original vehicle data to be read and a custom Fabspeed calibration to be loaded onto the car.
What This Product Does:
The XperTune software changes the calibration within the vehicle's engine control unit to optimise engine performance.
The factory ECU contains calibration data that determines how the engine responds under different operating conditions. Performance software modifies relevant parameters to make better use of the engine's capabilities.
The upgrade is designed to provide:
- Increased horsepower
- Increased torque
- Improved throttle response
- Sharper engine response
- Improved acceleration
- More responsive driving characteristics
- Calibration tailored to the vehicle's configuration
- Better integration with compatible performance modifications
The objective is not simply to increase peak output, but to improve the way the engine responds throughout normal and performance driving.
How Does The XperTune System Work?
One of the main advantages of the XperTune package is that the ECU does not normally need to be physically removed and mailed away for tuning.
The included handheld device communicates with the vehicle through the OBD-II port.
The tuning process involves:
- Reading the vehicle's original ECU data using the handheld tuner.
- Connecting the handheld device to a compatible Windows computer.
- Sending the original vehicle data and relevant vehicle information to Fabspeed.
- Fabspeed creates a calibration for the vehicle's specific configuration.
- The custom tune file is returned electronically.
- The tune is transferred to the handheld device.
- The handheld is connected to the Porsche and the new calibration is written to the ECU.
This allows the tuning process to be completed without removing the ECU from the vehicle.
Why This Upgrade Matters:
The factory Porsche 997.2 Carrera already offers strong naturally aspirated performance, but ECU calibration provides an opportunity to optimise engine response without making major internal engine modifications.
The Fabspeed XperTune package can provide:
- Increased horsepower and torque
- Improved throttle response
- Sharper acceleration
- More responsive driving characteristics
- Calibration tailored to the vehicle
- Compatibility with suitable performance modifications
- Convenient OBD-II flashing
- No routine requirement to remove and ship the ECU
- Ability to restore the factory ECU calibration
For owners seeking additional performance while retaining the fundamental character of the naturally aspirated 997.2 Carrera, ECU software can be an effective part of a wider performance upgrade package.
