Ooops....... Close one Marc...

 

That was a close one. Glad you and the car are ok. I've seen cars totaled at both turns 2, 4 and 6. Laguna is a terrific track to drive but it doesn't forgive mistakes. The walls are closer than I would like.

 

wow! glad you & car are safe! great video

 

I wish i hadn't watched that 2 days before my first track day

 

Thank God you didn't touch the barrier, wonder what happen ...
Was it dusty.....?!

 

Impressive spin for a c4!

Any analysis of how that unfolded you can share to help me avoid doing that through the craner curves at Donington on Sat in mine would be great

 

Hi

A great escape indeed! I love the torpedo tube view you get in a 964. I miss that now I have a 993.

Hi marc,

What's the status on the intake temps? I did a lot of enhancements on my 993 but i am still having problems with heat soak at track. I think i will try a water/alcohol injection now.

 

Hey Juha,

I have been collecting some parts to have a go at version 2.0 but have not yet had time to do the work ytet.

I have a MAShaw GT1 wing with air intakes, a BMC filter, and a few different elbows to move the air intake up and get better air flow/cooler air in. Hopefully I'll get to modify the intake soon and insulate the water pipes better to help with the temperatures.

Awesome thread!

Marc, any chancer of some start up & revving videos to give an idea of the SC sounds?

cheers

 

I also bought a GT2 wing and then I decided to ditch the water/air intercooler system. I think the cooler up front is not adequate to cool down the liquid at track. So it heats up and after a couple of laps there is no cooling effect anymore.

Instead I bought 2pcs 997 GT2RS air/air intercoolers and will fabricate one bigass cooler from them. (search s/n Basal Skull posts and you will find his DIY topic). If the GT2RS coolers are up to the task on a 620hp Porsche in factory trim, they should be able to coold down this measly 400hp engine imho.


I hope I'm not hijacking Marc's thread but here's a couple of videos of mine (on a 993 though):

 

I'll see what I can do about posting some recent photos and video.

Wow! Very nice!

I'd be interested to see how the a-to-a setup works - keep us all posted, please.

I have also been considering flushing the oil out of my RUF secondary oil cooler and using it as a second intercooler but I'll have to buy the right hose adapters first.

Hi Marc,

I finished my air/air intercooler setup and the initial results are out of this world!!
I drove the **** out of the car but could not get the IAT more than 2-3 degrees above ambient. First track test will on monday evening but already now i can tell you that the tpc provided air/water intercooler is garbage compared to these GT2RS cores... If you can live with a big wing, I seriously recommend this route! I have two coolers but I'm sure that even one cooler would be a lot better than the one provided with the kit. Check my thread on 993 forum about improving charge air cooling for more info.


Now i gotta go change the diaper for my 3 week old daughter.

 

Marc,
I noticed this impressive picture over at the "964s on track" thread.
Tell us more about the front bumper center section grill. Is air being directed through the grill to the two coolers on the side?


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I just love those wheels on a 964!
