Due to excess stock we have a special offer for supply and fitment of original GT2RS Porsche intercoolers.
Normal price is £1300+vat - Offer price is £1150+vat.
For the first two 911uk customers only. Contact Ken on 01293 226 911.
These can be fitted to the following models:-
996 Turbo
996 Turbo S
996 X50
996 GT2
997 Turbo
These can be fitted to non modified cars and will offer a significant performance improvement over the standard intercoolers fitted to the above models.
Technical stuff
One of the most overlooked upgrades are the intercoolers. We often see competitors running higher ignition and boost without fitting better intercoolers. The primary goal of upgraded intercoolers is the lower the intake temperature (IATs), preventing detonation, and keep the car from pulling timing. Cooler intake temperatures equals greater power retained.
Taking a simple example of a standard car with standard intercoolers on a day when the ambient temperature is 20c - off boost the IATs will run around 25c, but if you run the car on full boost from 40mph to 130mph, the IATs will reach close to 50c. Now, why is that important? Well the DME (the car's brain) has preset trigger points at which it will pull timing (lower power) until those IATs are back under control. The first trigger is just at 37c and then it acts more agressively as IATs rise beyond 40c, 50c, 60c etc.
This is made worse if you now run higher ignition and boost (tuning) and run full boost from 40mph to 130mph. The outcome is that at 130mph the IATs will be well into the mid 50c, but importantly they will reach the trigger points quicker during the run. So fitting a better cooling intercooler to a car that runs more ignition and boost will offset the related increased IATs, therefore retaining the power that running more ignition and boost provided.
In general based on our extensive experience in testing we find that the 997gt2rs intercoolers work well on power levels approaching 650hp.
