Went for an extended 'ride' in this:





Was equal to a very well driven GT3.

The last time I saw plumbing like this on a car, it was driven my Michael J Fox. Are these just elaborate intercoolers or what?

[ErVikingo]

Its the flux capacitor

[jcc911]

Craig, you say "turbos nothin like em..." So why did you go Vario?

[pjv911]

Looks like a water cooled intercooler .

[JeremyD]

Yeah water spray intercooler - and a big en at that.

I have two words for that... throttle response!

Turbo power is awesome and wicked speeds can be attained down the long straight and thru turn 1 at Pacific Raceways, but 3.6 Varioram makes a for a very fast, fun, and reliable track car!

Craig911, are those holes in your bumper for a oil cooler?

[Craig 930 RS]

I have two other Turbo cars - I went with Varioram because I LOVE it ;-)
Nick - I will make a post tomorrow regarding the holes in the bumper; in short, I replicated a GT3 center radiator air flow - slots in the smile, etc.

Turned out well, and lowered my temps by 40 degrees. Yes, 40!

that is an air to water intercooler. Sometimes called an aftercooler. When you add ice water the inlet temps actually can go under ambient. These are much better suited for drag cars. I ran one in my mustang. Very cool pics indeed

Here is a good description of how the air to water intercooler systems work if anyone cares....

Nice! i need a solution to my problem... i have $800 for a big oil cooler but that wont get me a bumper to put it behind. (or at least a painted bumper to put it behind )


btw... i wonder what 600whp will put you at PR... turn one would = pucker factor 9

[Kurt B]

Is the black 911 one of the 91-92 turbos? Damn that car looks so mean...

[air-cool-me]

if that guy with the black turbo had to replace a cracked windshield last year.... then i snaged a ride with him last year..


might not be the same car... but it was sure fun around PR

To me that intercooler looks like an air to air with a water spray on it.

That's what I was thinking too. Isn't this the famed "rubbermaid" solution? A cooler of water and ice strapped into the passenger compartment. Small pump and water spray on your intercooler. Need to turn up the boost? Then start your pump and spray ice cold air mist on your intercooler to keep temps down.

It's too big for an air to water - typically they are much more efficient - and smaller.

Just my .02 cents - and I may be 100% wrong.
