Porsche 986/987 Stage 2 Turbo Kit
Cayman owners have
long dreamed of giving their cars the power they need to truly be the
best they can be. The dreaming is now over with the release of the TPC
Racing Stage II(S2) Cayman S Turbo Kit. Drivers can now experience mind
bending acceleration that equals that of a 997Turbo. By pairing the
immense acceleration of 997Turbo with the Cayman's mid-engined agility,
TPC Racing has created the ultimate driver's car.
After 22 months of
R&D, our TPC Racing S2 Cayman S Turbo kit is now available to the
public. With 460HP* on tap, the TPC Racing Cayman S Turbo will easily
put you through the 1/4 mile in well under 12 seconds. During
preliminary testing the TPC Racing test mule achieved a very respectable
11.7 second run @121mph; faster than a 997Turbo or a 997 GT3. However,
with just a couple of TPC Racing's optional upgrades, drivers can now
achieve 1/4mile times that are right on the edge of 10 seconds with the
potential to be even faster! That's territory normally reserved for
modified 997Turbo's and big block american muscle.
Combined with it's
excellently balanced chassis, the TPC Racing S2 Cayman S Turbo is well
equiped to terrorize GT3s and Z06s at your next track day. This
incredible package was developed with 150+ hours on the dyno, nearly
30,000 miles on the street, and 30+ track testing sessions, the TPC
Racing Turbo s2 Cayman S Kit meets our strict standards for performance
and earns our seal of approval!
With an engine
tuned to develop 460HP*, working in concert with an outstanding
mid-engined platform; it is understandable why the TPC Racing Cayman S
Turbo Kit is so highly coveted by Cayman owners. This system transforms
the Porsche Cayman/Boxster from a fairly capable sportscar, into a
supercar killer. Porsche owners all have one thing in common; high
expectations for their vehicle's performance; and with the TPC Racing S2
Cayman S Turbo kit, their expectations have been matched and exceeded.

Power and Reliability
The TPC Racing S2
Cayman S Turbo Kit employs a single turbo setup. The turbocharger used
was specially designed to provide maximum power with fast spooling. In
this application we have harnessed this turbocharger's mighty potential
to force only 4.5lbs of boost into the stock Cayman S engine. Boost was
restricted to 4.5lbs to preserve the motor's reliability. Smooth
operation and the vehicle's longevity are two of our primary focuses
when producing a forced induction kit.
Staying Cool
In order to cool
the massive amount of compressed air being fed into the Cayman's engine,
TPC Racing employs a liquid-to-air intercooler setup for maximum
efficiency and ultimate power. This system works in conjuction with the
OEM front center mount radiator***. By designing a front radatior system
that employs that OEM Porsche front radiator ducts and supports, we can
ensure the the system maintains Porsche's/TPC Racing's high standards
for fit and finish as well as ease of installation. All of these OEM
components have been wind tunnel test by Porsche to guarantee the most
efficient airflow possible; you cannot beat Porsche engineering! In
addition, should any of these components ever be damaged or worn out
from years of use, replacement pieces can easily be purchased at any
local Porsche dealership!
In order to move
the coolant through the TPC Racing system, we turned to a stout and
reliable Bosch coolant pump, the same pump used on the Ford GT and F150
Lightning. The pump size is carefully selected to move coolant at the
most efficient rate; too fast and the coolant will pass through the
radiaotor too quickly without transfering enough heat out of the
coolant; too slow and the Intercooler will heat up because fresh cold
coolant will take too long to circulate through the system. Positioning
of the intercooler itself was a challenge, however the TPC Racing design
places the intercooler in an area that will allow it to get ample
cooling from the ambient airflow without being directly subjected to the
muffler's radiant heat. Whether you are facing hours of stop and go
traffic, desert heat, or a weekend at the track; the liquid-to-air
intercooler setup used in the TPC Racing S2 Cayman S Turbo Kit will
effectively manage intake air temperatures.
The Sound to Match the Performance
The TPC Racing S2
Cayman S Turbo Kit completely replaces the stock exhaust system
excluding the exhaust manifolds/catalytic converters. The exhaust
included the TPC Racing S2 Cayman S Turbo Kit produces a healthy rumble
the will give you goosebumps. We went through many different designs
during R&D to come up with a muffler setup that would produce an
excellent tone while being perfect streetable. During normal driving
conditions the exhaust maintains itself at a nice low rumble, but when
the throttle is cracked open those around will know for sure that this
is no ordinary Cayman. Made with aircraft grade stainless steel and
polished to a shine, the exhaust in this kit provides an attractive and
aggressive, sound and appearence with ZERO drone or resonance.
No Sqeaks, No Rattles, No Worries
One of the
perpetual downfalls of aftermarket turbo/supercharger systems is their
overall fit and finish, ease of installation and the everyday
drivability of the vehicle. One such issue, common with aftermarket
forced induction systems is their tendency to have lots of sqeaks and
rattles of parts rubbing and flexing and vibrating against other parts.
This all leads to a car that may be fast, but is definitely not a
pleasure to drive. In order to fight back against these annoyances, TPC
Racing had the idea to create custom molded 5-layer silicone piping.
These attractive pipes will produce absolutely ZERO
squeaks or rattles to take away from the overall driving experience.
And, because of the extreme flexibility of these silicone tubes,
installation could not be more simple. They can be easily slid into
position and be flexed to find a perfect fit. In addition, their
extremely durable 5-layer construction ensures that they will be able to
survive, without dents or breaks, for many years to come even if they
take occasional impacts from small road debris. Just another way in
which TPC Racing has gone above and beyond to create a system that is
not only simple to install, but also requires virtually no maintenance! Combined
with the TPC Racing S2 Cayman Turbo's superb driving characteristics,
you'd swear you were driving a factory turbocharged car.
Comfortable in any Situation
Daily commuting
with the TPC Racing S2 Cayman S Turbo Kit is a pleasure. During normal
driving conditions, the car performs like any stock Porsche Cayman; with
very smooth throttle response. The car is pleasant to drive as a daily
commuter and in traffic it’s like driving a regular car. But as you
press your right foot down a little harder, a whole new world opens up
as the TPC Racing S2 Cayman S Turbo transforms from a sedate street car
into a firebreathing 997Turbo killer. There is no turbo lag at all
offering over 100lb/ft gain at even 2500 rpm, making it great when you
just want to get up and go. When your foot hits the accelerator you are
thrown back into your seat and with a greater acceleration than a GT3.
This amazing combination of power and refinement makes the TPC Racing S2
Cayman S Turbo the perfect car to race at the track during the day, and
drive home in the evening.
Finding the Perfect Tune
The secret to the
amazing power and smoothness is our most advanced tuning system yet. The
TPC Racing S2 Cayman S Turbo Kit utilizes 6 larger injectors controlled
by our cutting edge ECU flash. This technology helps us provide the
most well integrated system on the market, giving the driver the feeling
that their Cayman came from Germany as a factory Cayman Turbo.
