Does anyone have experience with the RUF oil cooler? It looks to be about the same size as the Cargraphics cooler but less expensive and readily available. Thanks!

SPR

Really? I haven't heard of the ruf one but am familiar with the turbo s and cargraphic gt ones which are about 1k and 2k respectively. If the ruf works with the ac as the gt does and is less sounds pretty good anyone have more data I am very interested. Thanks. Also another setup I have seen, I forget who does it but it involves running 2 s coolers-

I just went on weisach's website and sure enough there is one. It appears to replace the stock one with more capacity??? any ideas of if the stock is retained or not like the s install as well as pricing? thanks. sean

I am interested as well. Id be amazed to see anything from Ruf that is a good value, but perhaps they missed priced this. Seems the turbo-s cooler is too small and the cargraphic seems overpriced.
If anyone knows the specs or has experience with the Ruf, then Id love to know.
Who makes the cooler for Ruf ?? .. i assume Ruf doesnt make any of their own accessories.

Weisach just got back to me here is what they said. I am going to get one-

The Ruf cooler was developed and used in the CTR2 car. It mounts over the condenser and utilizes the existing cooling motor.
The price is $ 1250.00 USD and comes complete with mounting hardware and plumbing....special order 10-14 day delivery. Shipping and handling is $30.00 USD

they have a picture here:

I just ordered it, see if you can get on my coatails if you want and discount?? BTW I had to fill out an authorization form and copy my dl and cc, since it's in canada. No big deal-

Ruf sources their oil cooling core from the same maker as Cargrahics. I am going to be buying mine from Ruf pretty soon as well. If its good enough to be used in Ruf's cars, I think it will certainly be adequate for ours.

I put one of these on last march, works well on track and in traffic. Priced better than other similiar units from other sources. Go for it!

From what I'm being told, the Ruf and Cargraphic are exactly the same except the Ruf costs quite a bit less. Ridiculous but if it is true, definitely buy the Ruf then. I am not fond of Cargraphic at all as a vendor.

Glad to hear the good news, for ruf and me anyways, placed the order yesterday-

I doubt you will get it within 14 days but it does appear to be a solid product. Sean, am I missing something? Don't you have a 996?

SPR

Indeed I do but my father has a 97 993tt which I "take care of"-

SPR

And you are right about the lead time because RUF closes down for the holidays. I was told I would get it probably mid jan-

adsc4s

Nice! I think you should "convince" your father that he needs the modern day creature comforts of a 996 in exchange for his old, outdated 993tt.

SPR

That was the deal once he upgrades but it has been a while. The car however only has 14k miles on it though-
