Nice video - interesting to see much heat is kept by the turbos even after the car is taken down to idle - they are still glowing after the run.

 

Sweet video and nice power! What boost level was that at?

 

Peak Boost at 21psi @ 4500rpm
need going to upgrade to FVD intercooler hoping the boost will be more stable at the end

 

I would advise DO NOT buy a 993turbo intercooler from FVD, they work no better than standard.

If you look at the pics on their site it seems even they are confused about what they are selling.

The pic top right is from a marketing pic from TTP who made these "V" intercoolers originally, I bought one and tested it and it is actually worse than stock at cooling, they will tell you it flows better but this means nothing.

The pic on the top left is a different intercooler (note there is no "V" at the back)

The two at the bottom look like the "V" one again....... so they are confused but will probably tell you they are using new much better cores now days which do work..... they may work but look at the evidence....

A better solution is have a look on this forum where a poster fabbed an intercooler using 997GT2RS cores, these are cheap to buy and his Frankenstein cooler worked really well.

Nice video by the way

 

okay sir thank you for your advice TB993tt

 

Wow 1.44Bar. How heavily modded is your bottom end?

 

Kindof a personal questions, isn't it?



Sorry, could not resist - continue Gentlemen!

Cheers,

Ok good one. Hey, at least I didn't ask if it was "bored out" over stock.

 

went its cold its make 1.44bar with ice in the intercooler the first dyno pass was hot it was 1.1bar without ice 414whp

 

My guess it will spike at 1.44 but not maintain that constant level.

 

I'm guessing that you don't drive around with ice on the intercooler, so that's probably not a very realistic way to test.

 

yes its spike at1.44 then going back 1.1 bar boost

 

Rather than intercooler change I would put a set of cams that go with the kit This will bring more power than any other mod for you at this stage, coupled with a matching FVD ECU.

Power kits boosting beyond 1.1-1.2 bar will cause cylinder head leakage with time, some more than other depending on how well tuned they are. I would add cylinder head sealing rings.

With that being said you can drive it for many thousand miles depending on condition of your engine. Enjoy it.
