do88 Performance MERA Intercooler for 964 Porsche 911 Turbo [ICM-460-G]

Introducing the do88 Performance MERA Intercooler, meticulously engineered for Porsche 964 Turbos with both 3.3L and 3.6L engines. This intercooler is designed for seamless integration, though adjustments to the intercooler bracket position may be necessary due to the hand-built nature of these vehicles. The original equipment (OE) intercooler brackets provide the flexibility required for these minor modifications, ensuring a perfect fit despite variations observed in OE intercoolers during the development process. The installation of the do88 Performance MERA Intercooler not only boosts performance but also preserves the esteemed appearance of the vehicle, striking an ideal balance between maintaining traditional aesthetics and embracing modern cooling technology. This upgrade is a subtle yet significant enhancement that reinstates and elevates the revered status of the Porsche.

Background

• Enthusiasts of the classic Porsche 964 Turbo strive to tune their cars with a focus on maintaining the original aesthetics that define this iconic sports car. The intercooler, a prominent component in the engine bay, has unfortunately often been a point of compromise in terms of appearance with most aftermarket units. Many aftermarket options feature boxy-looking sheet metal tanks that detract from the car’s elegance. Additionally, a critical component missing from all aftermarket solutions is the air guide. Mounted atop the original intercooler, this component directs airflow through the core for efficient cooling—a detail that is surprisingly overlooked in most aftermarket designs, leading to inefficient cooling as air bypasses the core.

Development

• In developing the MERA version of their intercooler for the Porsche 964 Turbo, do88 focused on retaining the stock appearance while significantly enhancing performance. The intercooler delivers a substantial increase in cooling efficiency and a reduction in pressure drop, outperforming both the original and most aftermarket alternatives. A Bar & Plate core from Garrett Motorsport, known for its exceptional performance, was selected for this model. This core features thin, densely packed fins that ensure effective heat transfer and its 80mm thickness maximizes cooling potential without altering the original tanks and air guide design. The do88 MERA intercooler is regarded as the best performance upgrade available, perfectly balancing outstanding performance with the desire to maintain the classic look of the Porsche 964 Turbo’s engine bay. It is ideally suited for high-power builds, meticulously designed to replicate the original’s mounting points, air guide, hose connections, and sensor locations.
