Hey Guys,
I'm on the cusp of taking the next steps in my multi-year attempt to turbocharge my 3.2 Carrera, and I need your input! After much consideration, I've decided to go with an air-to-air intercooler rather than water-to-air. The complexity, maintenance and expense of a water-to-air IC deterred me, though I still think it's a really cool solution
I'm planning to replace my Carrera whale tail with one that has provision for an I/C (either 930 or an aftermarket RS America wing -
Porsche Rs America Wing Tail Spoiler: Body & Tails, Wings Related). The plan is to run 1 BAR of boost. The car will be primarily used on the street, but I do want to run in a few DE events per year. I'd like your help to sort out a suitable combination of an I/C and A/C condenser. My concerns in order:
1. I want an efficient enough I/C that I can enjoy DE events without being stressed about the likelihood of detonation.
2. I want an efficient enough A/C system that my wife will be reasonably comfortable when driving in the summer.
On the detonation end of things, I'm planning to run twin plugs and dual Carrera oil coolers in the front wheel wells.
So what do you think a proper I/C and A/C condenser solution is for me? I don't believe that an OEM style 930 I/C will work (without modification) with a Carrera intake manifold. If I modified a half bay I/C to work with my Carrera IM, would that be sufficient cooling for DE events? Or is a full bay I/C the best choice?
On the A/C condenser end, I've heard of guys relocating their condenser to a wheel well or under the belly. Griffiths has a solution to run dual condensers in the driver's side rear wheel well, and this can be run with or without the rear engine bay condenser (
Griffiths supplies a range of air conditioning components for your Porsche 911,911s,911t,911 turbo, and 930, such as: Porsche air conditioning upgrades, Porsche air conditioning improvements and updates: Porsche barrier hoses and hose sets, Porsche c).
Thanks for your input.
