Looking to identify make of 930 intercooler

Bulletproofauto · 02-10-2021, 06:25 AM

Hey folks. Just purchased this 1981 930 Turbo up here in Canada. Does anyone know the manufacturer of this aftermarket intercooler? There are no markings that I can see.

Could be a Billy Boat unit..to mee it looks very similar to that.

B&B ,as the predecessor said

Correct -- Billy Boat aka B&B

Thanks everyone makes sense since I bought the car with a Billy Boat exhaust system

Its also been painted, here is what they look like when you buy them from B&B (less the polished finish):

These are a great Intercoolers as well and significantly outperform the OEM unit.

Yep, got one on my rig as we speak.

Thanks! Very helpful. Was planning on taking the car back completely to stock however I'm going to leave this intercooler as well as the K 27 Turbo on the car.

That polished unit is actually sitting in my garage right now, ran it for a bit then it developed a crack/leak at the up-pipe weld. Nice unit though, tight under the decklid.

I can't remember, did I sell my polished B&B to you?

B&B. I have the same one.

I have a spare B&B downstairs in my closet I will happily sell if anyone is looking. I am running a TK IC now, and the B&B and the stock IC are in my parts museum

Excellent shape / reasonable offer in case anyone is interested.

Requires removing the plastic grill work piece under the deck lid, on my car at least.

Yes you did, we chatted about that when we spoke on the 'phone last year. It was the first mod. I did on my 930 in 2005....ahhh so many moons ago!

Yep, and it was a great intercooler, I think I created the crack due to poor mounting. I still have yet to have it tested by independent shop but oh well. Served me very well.
