In our latest dyno test we have this awesome 2020 Porsche Cayenne 3.0 V6 E-Hybrid in for tuning and testing. After an installation of our specifically designed Pro Petrol SENT chip tuning box, it was up on the rollers to see what the engine could achieve.
Now, as is the case with most of these premium hybrids, they already have a pretty cool set up from stock. This Cayenne has the standard 340hp 3.0 V6 found in most of the base spec Cayenne’s, but is also coupled with an 136hp electric motor. You can’t quite utilise the full capacity of both engine and motor systems at once due to its application, but you so you still get a respectable 462hp in total. However, as we find most often, the 340hp engine comes de-tuned as standard from stock, not giving you that full potential of its power. We can soon have that fixed, and show you what it’s really capable of…
Dyno testing before and after shows healthy gains across the rev range, with a significant increase in power and torque, really transforming how the Cayenne feels to drive. We unlock that restrained power, and give complete access to its full potential.
Peak power was increased, as we were able to lift it from 460hp at stock, up to 531hp with the box. If you take a look at the dyno graph below you can see how we change that curve (dotted red and blue lines). We give real consistency here, bringing that extra power in as soon as possible, whilst holding it for as long as possible throughout the rev range. You can see we iron out any of those spots where the power dipped, and continue to give that power right through, adding that +71hp extra at its peak.
Torque also saw some great improvements. Stock figures showing slightly higher than what is claimed, producing 718Nm instead of the 700Nm quoted, but not particularly unusual to see strong stock figures here, as they can often push higher than Porsche claim. At stock the engine produced 718Nm and now 824Nm with the box. If you take another look at the graph (solid lines), you can really see where we have applied those gains, again giving much more consistency across the rev range, lifting that whole mid-section and adding +106Nm extra at its peak.
