CSF High-Performance Intercooler System for 992.1 Porsche 911 Carrera / 4 / 4S / GTS / S [8217]

CSF High-Performance Intercooler System for 992.1 Porsche 911 Carrera / 4 / 4S / GTS / S [8217]

In 2021, a collaboration took place between CSF and a manufacturer of Cooling systems for Formula-1 vehicles, along with a high-performance aftermarket partner called PWR. The purpose of this partnership was to introduce the world’s first high-performance intercooler system for the Porsche 992 Turbo and Turbo S models. As a result of this achievement, CSF is delighted to announce the release of a high-performance intercooler designed specifically for the Porsche 992 Carrera models with a 3.0L Turbo engine. This intercooler system is compatible with the Carrera Base, S, 4, 4S, and GTS versions available in Coupe, Cabriolet, and Targa variations.

Design & Engineering

• CSF has engineered and designed the 992 Carrera intercooler, making it a perfect “Drop-in Fit” unit that can be easily installed without the need for any modifications or cutting. Utilizing the existing factory mounting points, the installation process is straightforward and hassle-free. This plug-and-play intercooler seamlessly integrates with the vehicle’s existing components, providing optimal cooling performance for the Porsche 992 Carrera models with a 3.0L Turbo engine.

PWR Intercooler Core Technology

• The Formula-1 grade intercooler core is the standout feature of the CSF by PWR 992 Carrera Intercooler System. This core, which is not found in any other aftermarket performance products, has been made possible through CSF’s partnership with PWR.
• By utilizing the same cores found in systems developed for the Porsche 992 Turbo/S and 991 GT2RS, the intercooler has proven to produce impressive results. The PWR cores effectively eliminate heat soak and significantly reduce Intake Air Temperatures (IATs) in a much more efficient manner compared to traditional Bar & Plate or Tube & Fin designs. These conventional intercooler cores are typically heavier and/or larger in order to enhance cooling capacity. However, thanks to the superior performance of the PWR core in a smaller size, CSF has been able to design the intercooler system to fit seamlessly in the stock location using all the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) hardware, ducts, and shrouds for a simple installation.
• Similar to many other turbocharged vehicles, the 3.0L Twin Turbo engine in the 992 experiences significant levels of heat soak and progressively increasing IATs even during moderately spirited driving. As a result, the engine control unit (ECU) reduces engine timing and outputs significantly less power. The CSF by PWR Intercoolers offer a solution to this issue, enabling vehicles to consistently perform at optimal levels for extended periods of time.

CNC Machined Billet End Tanks

• CSF’s new 992 Intercoolers, like all of its other products made in collaboration with PWR, are equipped with end tanks made from machined billet aluminum that are 100% TIG-welded. This upgrade is particularly significant because it replaces the OEM end tanks, which are made from crimped plastic composite and have several disadvantages.
• Not only are the new end tanks visually appealing, but they also offer increased strength, which greatly enhances the longevity and durability of high-performance vehicles. It is well-known that OEM plastic/composite end tanks can crack under the pressure of heavy boost. However, the CNC machined billet end tanks have been specially designed to withstand higher boost pressures resulting from bolt-on modifications, higher performance tunes, and even upgraded turbochargers.

Features

• Eliminates heat soak and lower intake air temperatures (IAT) for maximum performance in high-performance and race conditions – especially critical due to intercooler
