Default Intercooler Question!

Can anyone identify what company makes this intercooler and if it's better than the stock unit? Thanks.

jhunt: Thanks for the reply. On the 964 turbo board someone mentioned it look like a Kokeln unit. It doesn't actually say it on the intercooler like others that I have seen. I think the previous owner bought if from Zucz (sp?). I was trying to find their website but couldn't.

It's a Garrettson and it's better than stock. EVMOS sells them for around $1300.

It does'nt look at all like the Garretson intercooler which is bigger. Yes this is offered by Powerhaus, Evoms and it is made by Spearco. It used to be called the Zucz intercooler and flows close to 500 CI.

Kinda looks like the small B & B to me. FWIW, they also make a nice wide one as well.

Go to

www.bbtriflo.com

click on "car Applications", then "Porsche", then "Intercoolers".

There will be a picture there.

iborroel,
Yes it's at least twice better than stock and many have this intercooler as it is a god upgrade and god upto 450-500bhp.

JFYI:
The Kokeln Intercooler is the finest, most efficient intercooler on the market BAR NONE! Kokeln Intercoolers produce lower intake temperatures and higher flow than any other intercooler due to a larger cooling mass, superior design and greater efficiency while retaining the factory air-conditioning! Comparison of the Kokeln Intercooler to other products on the market revealed the following:

Test Result

Charged side face area in square inches Cubic inch mass
Stock 21.4 258
Andial (Garretson) 72.6 508
Ruf 53.5 498
Kokeln 73.0 642

For comparison purposes a test was ran on a stock 1988 911 turbo at 5000 rpm with an outside ambient air temperature of 85 degrees Fahrenheit and turbo flow rate was approximately 430 cfm. The results were as follows:

Intake Temp Outlet Temp Pressure Drop
Stock 218 151 .50
Andial 220 120 .50
Ruf 220 119 .50
Kokeln 222 109 .48

Fits in the stock location, with Air conditioning, can flow as much as 900 CFM @ 2.6/1 pr Ratio with less than 1 psi drop

For all '78-'89 930's
Turbocharger and Intercooler technology have improved dramatically in the past few years. The Kokeln Intercooler uses the latest technology in every aspect from the core material to the bypass valve assembly. The bypass valve included in he installation kit replaces the old cast aluminum valve (7 Pounds) with the latest bypass technology. This valve (less then 1 pound) bypasses more air faster than stock and provides boost approximately 1000 rpm sooner.

Kit includes: Intercooler, bypass valve, bypass sleeve, rubber elbow and all mounting hardware and fittings.

PorschePhD,

You sold your IAGT stage 4 kit to a friend on mine here in Singapore for his 996tt and he took me for a ride in it yesterday. Boy oh boy did it really feel like a rocket. The beautiful part is that the power came on so early(linear). Cant wait to hear how it sounds when the muffler is in. Cheers bro, thats something really impressive you got there.

Sameer,
I am begining to wonder if Kokeln is giving you kick backs to paste those test results in every intercooler thread on every 930 forum on the web. LOL J/K, I had to give you a hard time!

Cheers bro!

Trust me, Sameer is correct. I've had my Kokeln for over a year now and what a huge difference it made! These devices are GREAT!
