do88 intercooler kit
Ezekhez a változatokhoz jó:
Porsche 911 (997.2) - 2010-2012 - all GT2RS version
Porsche 911 (997.1) - 2007-2009 - all Turbo/GT2 version
Main features:
- high quality high density UK made motorsport cores
- 3D freeform designed cast end tanks
- custom designed carbon fiber ambient air guides
- comes with high quality silicone hoses and accessories for installation
After do88 market research in the beginning of their intercooler development for 997 generation 2 they understood that not many of the upgrade products on the market are really upgrades but more at the same level as the 997.2 standard intercoolers or sometimes even lower. So already from the beginning do88 realized that they could not sacrifice anything to keep the cost down they just had to do the best possible in the space available in the car! First of all they made a lot of investigation and comparisons between different core types and at last really fell for a high density motorsport core which have great cooling efficiency among with a low weight. With a great core in place do88 started to refine the end tank design which brought them to a decision to make cast end tanks as they could then control the air flow distribution over the core in a very precise way. This is very important as a good tank design will be beneficial for both pressure drop and cooling efficiency. To be able to fit an intercooler with appropriate thickness for the job it was also necessary to design a new upper ambient air guide. This was designed in our 3D scanned environment to ensure perfect fit to the vehicle integrated air guides and our intercooler. To achieve the best air flow distribution over the core we made intercooler end tanks with 70 mm (2 3/4 inch) connections which then made it necessary to designed custom silicone hoses for all positions. The hoses are 3D designed with airflow in mind where do88 CFD tested each hose during development to ensure best possible flow rate of all parts! The hoses between turbocharger and intercooler are special silicone hoses that can withstand up to 240°C (464°F) continuous temperature! Another important aspect for cooling performance are to use all ambient cooling air available, to optimize this part we include air block rubber seals for all surfaces where the ambient air guides must seal properly.
With this way to build do88 intercoolers the weight increase compared to the OEM ones was relatively small considering the size of our intercooler and that its all made of aluminium. do88 intercooler weight is 5,85 kg (12,89 lb) per piece and the 997.2 OEM intercooler weights 3,30 kg (7,27 lb) per piece. It might sound like a big weight increase but compared to other actors on the market with intercoolers in this size it's a low weight!
