Where is the intake filter - in the passenger fender or down in front of the intercooler? - what is the filter type for all this air? custom intake box? cone/dual cones?

In front of the IC is the largest K&N Cone filter available.

 

Exactly where is the rad, Erik?

Stock location (lowered) behind the intercooler.

 

very slick.

 

No kidding. The air-to-air unit is HUGE!

 

Wow, amazing work! Can't wait to see what this uber-928 can do!

 

that intercooler is huge, and theres lots of nice machine work and fabrication goin on under that hood, Somebody has got a lot of talent

 

For those new to the party, this (kind of) where it all started. 400+ hp motorcycle with a VW Type 4 supercharged engine.

He made most of the parts on the bike, including the cylinders (from solid billet on a lathe) rear wheel & frame. He started making his own crank when this 928 fell into his lap.

That is Todd on the bike:

He also did most of the fabrication (including the IC) on Jim Page’s 928:

EDIT - did something happen to Rennlist home pages???

 

Saw the car last week end, beautiful job by Todd. Everythink is done meticulously all the way to the last details. Todd this is great to have you.

 

Any rough idea of the temp drop across the interkuhler?

What was the finned electronic gizmo where the big inlet pipe goes into the front?

 

I think it's officially called the "ubercooler"

It's the fan control module. Needs the cooling for the amps it draws.

 

Very very nice work, looks great!

Is that the oil seperator at the back of the engine? Where did he buy the IC core?

 

Todd is definitely the "mad scientist". That is one badass car!

Jim

 

Yes, that's his homemade Oil/Air separator.
