The price? SPI is crediting full retail for your existing P800 components toward the purchase of the R1K package. Even better than that, SPI will pay for the enclosed transport of your GTR to their facility in Ohio as well as the delivery to you when it is finished if you are located in the continental US. <a href="http://www.zercustoms.com/news/Switzer-E900-Nissan-GT-R-E85.html">Alternate fuel tuning</a> is available as well. <a href="mailto:Sales@SwitzerPerformanceInnovation.com">Contact Switzer Performance Innovation</a> for more information.Neil Switzerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15514332206810967349noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959964299791053742.post-75186613476510106472011-09-15T14:24:00.001-04:002011-09-16T09:58:43.265-04:00P800 Porsche 997TT Build at Switzer Performance Pt. 1Check out this beauty we checked in last week:<br />

Enough to propel the 997TT into Veyron territory with a 2.5 0-60 and 0-100mph in 5.9 seconds!<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.tuning-technologies.ru/images/TTRmay/100_1256_00.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 335px; height: 251px;" src="http://www.tuning-technologies.ru/images/TTRmay/100_1256_00.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">VBox Verified Performance<br /></span></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Enjoy the photos below of the our most recent P700 997TT heading home:<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6070/6127693429_1837e35a7f_b.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 450px; height: 299px;" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6070/6127693429_1837e35a7f_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Switzer Billet Upper Intake plumbing from our MONSTER IC's</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6196/6128244664_79b7681bb6_b.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 450px; height: 260px;" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6196/6128244664_79b7681bb6_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Switzer Signature Series Wheels in Satin Black</span><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6190/6127688763_fd3c697cea_b.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 450px; height: 275px;" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6190/6127688763_fd3c697cea_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Enjoy!<br /><br /></span></div>For more information on the P700/R750 pkg and more, <a href="mailto:sales@switzerperformanceinnovation.com">contact Switzer Performance.</a>Neil Switzerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15514332206810967349noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959964299791053742.post-24723908786368492702011-09-01T15:36:00.003-04:002011-09-01T16:00:53.827-04:00Switzer "LC1" Launch Control Conversion for GTRSwitzer LC1 Launch Control Conversion for 2010+ GTR's, a tech note from Tym Switzer:
<br />
<br /><blockquote>For those of you who have wanted to effectively launch your 2011 GTR but couldn't, there is hope.
<br />
<br />Yesterday we stopped out to Shepherd Transmissions to drop off another gearbox and wanted to help John with his launch problems in his 2011 GTR. His car is pulling great but has been plagued with the inconsistent launches of LC3. As many of you may or may not know, the LC3 strategy will not permit a launch with traction control disabled. This causes the car to basically pull all power if it senses wheel spin on the launch. While this strategy is very protective, it also makes effectively drag racing a GTR impossible. I had a couple of ideas on how to defeat this a few months ago, but truthfully had set it aside as it wasn't a priority for us at the time. John and I were speaking about his frustrations of not being able to get a solid un-interrupted launch in the car so I dusted off the bookshelf so to speak and we got to work on the problem.
<br />
<br />We reprogrammed both the ECM and TCM in the car and we've got everything working together properly so it looks like we're good to go. John is currently running the ProEFI on his car so in the video you will hear a 2 step limiter being used to control the rpm to a lower level than the typical LC1 4000+ rpm limit which is not needed for his combination. Besides... due to the fact that John spends so much time processing all of the transmission builds we, AMS, and so many other shops send in... he's still running a stock gearset in his car. I'm hoping he gets that changed out soon and judging by the fact that there is a sea of GTR transmissions sitting in the shop, that 1st gear may have to wait!
<br />
<br />It's great working with John on our transmission builds and I'm glad that we were able to give him a hand with his launch control issues. I also have to say that I appreciate that he never bitches when I ask him to do all of the weird experimental stuff that I ask him to do for me. I'm also going to take a moment and say publicly that I'm glad we decided to work together as technical partners from the beginning. There's been a lot of experimentation and feedback over the last couple of years that's really helped push things along. I'm sure our involvement along with the involvement of other shops like AMS and SPE has been incredibly beneficial for all of the end-users.
<br />
<br />Here's a clip of John's car testing LC1 after the conversion today... glad he didn't stay in it much longer...

<br />
<br />Thanks for reading... we just wanted to make a quick post and let the 2011 LC3 owners out there know there was hope for better launches. Just make sure you've upgraded that transmission!</blockquote>

Well today was that day, we got to have a chat with tuning firm synonimous with insanely powerful cars. Thanks to Tym Switzer and his team, the company has consistently released kick-ass cars like the Nissan GT-R P700 and the Porsche 997 P800 through the use of innovation. I bet you'd like to get to know these guys now right? Well here it is, our interview with Switzer Performance Innovation! <br /><br /><b>DSG Performance</b>: So let’s start with your story. How and when did Switzer come to be? <br /><br /><b>Jo Borras</b>: In the early 90's, Tym Switzer began working on DSM turbos through a Chrysler dealership in Ohio where he was a technician. He studied the way the turbos worked and began tuning his own car after work, which led him to transition form the dealership/service side of the industry and into the racing/tuning side. That first car, a white turbo Talon, was eventually featured in "Turbo and High-tech Performance" magazine in the US.<br /><br /><b>DSG</b>: What was the first car you put the Switzer touch on?<br /><br /><b>JB</b>: As above, Tym's own 1991 Eagle Talon (DSM).<br /><br /><b>DSG</b>: What project car signified a turning point in transforming the Switzer brand into what we all see today? <br /><br /><b>JB</b>: One of Tym's Mitsubishi Evo clients had a Porsche with a "built" motor from another tuning firm. They had had the car for over a year, it had been sent back and forth across the US, and it wasn't right. The client asked Tym to take a look at the car, even though Porsche wasn't Tym's specialty. Tym found the problem that day: one of the technicians at "brand x motorsports" had left a socket in the engine case, which was destroying the engine. The client asked Tym to rebuild the engine, and it ran STRONG, which led to other clients of "brand x" hearing about the car and sending their own cars to Tym. Eventually, Tym began addressing not only build-quality issues, but design issues, which led to developing the Switzer MONSTER intercoolers and, eventually, entire comprehensive packages.<br /></ul></font><br /><hr /><br /><a href="http://www.dsgperformance.com/blog.asp?ID=404&catID=&thisPage=&search=">CLICK HERE</a> for the rest of the interview on DSG's news blog.<br /><br>Jo Borrashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01082770042080952617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959964299791053742.post-53255407744620043142010-07-08T11:00:00.000-04:002010-07-08T11:15:26.311-04:00Switzer Upgrades the Tiptronic<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/renntech/sets/72157624325629555/"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4101/4771822933_195cb99700_b.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><font size="1"><b>SWITZER P800 TIPTRONIC IN GUARDS RED</b></font><br /><hr /><br />Tuners everywhere rejoiced when Porsche introduced an upgraded <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manumatic#Tiptronic">Tiptronic</a> transmission with its 997 Turbo models. The five-speed automatic/manual, built for Porsche by German neighbors <a href="http://sunshinesupercars.blogspot.com/2009/01/epic-run-renn-slr-on-switzer-dyno.html">Mercedes-Benz</a>, is capable of handling as much as seven hundred horsepower in some applications ... and, for most tuners, that's all the capacity they will ever need.<br /><br />For Ohio-based <a href="http://switzerperformanceinnovation.com/">Switzer Performance</a>, however, <font color="orange"><b>700 hp is far from enough</b></font>. “We first noticed the limitations of the 997 Tiptronic with our P700 (l4) PKG, which, pushed hard on certain high-octane fuels, can cause slipping in the trans.,” explains Tym Switzer, owner and chief engineer of Switzer Performance. “When we released our P800 kit for the 997 Turbos, which makes over eight hundred horsepower, we were forced to limit sales to manual-transmission cars. This didn’t satisfy the customers who wanted the kind of ultimate straight-line performance that the Tiptronic can offer, and – to be frank - it didn’t satisfy us.”<br /><br />After spending a considerable amount of time reprogramming Porsche's transmission control unit (TCU) software to increase the torque limits, Switzer realized that effectively putting more than seven hundred horsepower through the Tip cars would require something more than a software-based solution.<br /><br />Working with development partners in the US and Europe, Switzer disassembled, upgraded, and rebuilt the Tiptronic transmission to meet customer demands for higher hp projects. The first builds produced transmissions that were stronger and sharper than the factory unit, but not strong enough to contain Tym's hard-hitting P800. This final effort, however, Switzer and his European counterparts pulled out all the stops: additional clutches eliminate slippage, additional friction surfaces ensure more efficient power delivery, a modified valve body to improve shift speed, and (last, but not least) another round of transmission programming which enables the Tiptronic to make the most of its uprated internals.<br /><hr /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/renntech/sets/72157624325629555/"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4076/4771830611_56839aabba_b.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><font size="1"><b>MORE STACK HEIGHT + BETTER MATERIALS</b></font><br /><hr /><br />On its maiden voyage, the new 997 Turbo P800 Tiptronic blasted from 0-60 mph in a scant 2.8 seconds.

That “perfect” label is a matter of opinion, of course, but enough GTR buyers felt the car lacked sufficient oomph that a number of tuning firms began to lay waste to the idea of an “untunable” car, building massively-powerful GTR Nissans along the way. One such firm is Tym Switzer’s Ohio-based Switzer Performance, and their massively-powerful GTR is called the P800 -<a href="http://jalopnik.com/5511646/switzer-p800-nissan-gt+r-track-animal-godzilla-goes-on-a-diet"> a comprehensively tuned 800 hp track-weapon that’s as much at home on Main Street as it is on the back straight</a>.<br /><br />Of course, there are some enthusiasts who will always want more - and when one of these enthusiasts contacted Switzer about pushing the P800 GTR to the limit, the crew at Switzer Performance got to work developing the car you see here.<br /><hr /><br /><center><br /><object width="400" height="255"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xLhw-KBVIZQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xLhw-KBVIZQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="255"></embed></object><br /></center><br /><font size="1"><b>806 WHP ON THIS RUN</b></font><br /><hr /><br />“The P800 is already at the limit of what we feel comfortable for the stock GTR transmission,” explains Switzer. “So to go further we really needed to beef up the transmission. We contacted Dodson Motorsports in New Zealand and explained what our goals were with the car - 900 hp, more clutch area, ad smooth shifting at every speed. The new transmission is the product of several months’ <a href="http://switzer-spi.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-development-partner-dodson.html">co-development between Switzer and Dodson</a>, and is exactly what we needed in order to start pushing the GTR forward beyond 800 hp.”<br /><br />The next thing Switzer needed to address to keep “pushing the GTR forward” was fuel. “We didn’t want to just deliver a race-gas package that tethered the client to a fuel drum in his garage, but we wanted to be able to turn up the boost, also.” The solution? Readily-available E85.<br /><br />“In a way, the solution was all around us,” offers Switzer, whose shop is located deep in Ohio’s farm country, surrounded - literally! - by cornfields. “<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E85">E85</a> isn’t without its trade-offs. We had to modify the fuel system to handle the fuel and significantly increase the size of the injectors, also, but in the end we had a fuel that gave us everything we needed to crank up the boost on this car and deliver over 900 hp.” The E85 delivered other benefits as well: it is significantly “greener” than the pump-gas and race-gas versions of the GTR. “With most high-horsepower cars, you can barely breathe after just a few dyno runs. With the E85, we were able to run pull after pull to dial in the tune without feeling any effects of the usual emissions. It’s hardly scientific, but there was a noticeable improvement in the air quality in the shop compared to race gas.”<br /><br />The final product - dubbed the E900 for “<font color="orange"><b>Ethanol fuel, 900 hp</b></font>” - is a fast, capable package that offers linear power delivery and massive midrange torque with superior transient response compared to larger-turbo/race-fuel combinations, while maintaining a bit of environmental responsibility along with its blistering sub-6-second 60-130 mph acceleration.<br /><hr /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2FHHvTtICk4kbi2YVfvuSJpJCFwYTFTFLlzgL-JdIC5GuHyT5UsqwZjLHdyix-R9nIkKn8wyQd9v-P0bvAkHqbG5DTMKw5HqlF3iNPjbyN_B_MI_zYeTOExbB17C30Rdnx06aT9KgQag/s1600/e900_dyno.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2FHHvTtICk4kbi2YVfvuSJpJCFwYTFTFLlzgL-JdIC5GuHyT5UsqwZjLHdyix-R9nIkKn8wyQd9v-P0bvAkHqbG5DTMKw5HqlF3iNPjbyN_B_MI_zYeTOExbB17C30Rdnx06aT9KgQag/s400/e900_dyno.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485694827361044274" /></a><br /><font size="1"><b>GREEN AND MEAN</b></font><br /><hr /><br />This first E900 also sports an <a href="http://www.gt-rr.com/finder.html?man_name=powerhouse_amuse&manufacturer_id=5">Amuse</a> carbon fiber aero package, 3-way adjustable suspension, and 20” BBS wheels that are an inch wider than stock at all four corners.
