Bro Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 I've always wondered since the first time I saw a 911 turbo (996 model) and those gt2's...there must be some crazy piping involved, they are mid-engined cars??

HSVKLR Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Dont wanna sound like a know-all but that pic aint of a GT2... I know they look like intercoolers at the front of the car (possibly oil coolers) but correct me if im wrong but isnt the intercooler/s on Turbo Porsches located either: a) just infront of the wing on the bootlid so to speak. So bacially almost in "top-mount" location - so that as the air follows the roofline of the car it sweeps down into the 'cooler. or B) as in the 959 of 1989, located either side of the engine down low - hence what the ducts at the lower part of the rear skirts on a 911 Turbo/GT2 are for....???

Bro Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 Yes that's what I thought and hence my comments about "crazy piping" if they indeed were intercoolers. Radiator maybe? or just crazy big brake coolers? heh who knows Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/15590-porshe-gt2-intercooler/#findComment-320333 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin 09 Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 The old air cooled 911s (up to the 993 model) had their intercoolers mounted above the engine under the 'whale tail' rear wing. The wing was designed to both aid downforce and duct cool air into the intercooler. Not sure where the 996 model turbo intercoolers are, but i think they are on either side in the flanks, with the ducts behind the doors feeding air to them. Either that or down low as HSVKLR said.
