In 2021, CSF partnered with Formula-1 cooling system manufacturer and high-performance aftermarket leader PWR to introduce the world’s first high-performance intercooler system for the Porsche 992 Turbo and Turbo S. Building on the success of over 200 systems sold for the 992 Turbo (CSF #8188), CSF is now proud to unveil the high-performance intercooler system for the Porsche 992 Carrera (CSF #8217).
Designed for all 3.0L Turbo models, this system is compatible with the Carrera Base, S, 4, 4S, and GTS trims (Coupe, Cabriolet, and Targa).
Key Features:
- Applications:
- 2019+ Porsche 911 Carrera (3.0L Turbo – Base / S / 4 / 4S / GTS)
- OEM Part Numbers:
- Porsche: 992 145 805 D
- Plug-and-Play Installation:
- Utilizes all factory mounting points with no cutting or modifications required.
Performance Benefits:
The CSF by PWR intercooler system addresses critical issues with the factory-installed unit, such as heat soak and rising intake air temperatures (IATs) during spirited driving. These conditions often lead to reduced engine timing and significant power loss. By leveraging Formula-1 grade PWR intercooler core technology, this system ensures consistent performance and optimal cooling under high-boost conditions.
- Enhanced Cooling Efficiency:
The PWR cores outperform traditional Bar & Plate or Tube & Fin designs by eliminating heat soak while maintaining a compact size.
- Durability for High Boost Levels:
Engineered to handle increased power demands from aftermarket tuning or performance upgrades.
- Stock Location Fitment:
Designed to fit seamlessly using OEM hardware, ducts, and shrouds.
Why Upgrade?
The Porsche 992 Carrera’s twin-turbocharged 3.0L engine is prone to heat soak due to the stock intercooler’s location above the engine. This design flaw exacerbates power loss during spirited or prolonged driving. The CSF intercooler resolves these issues, unlocking significant performance gains. For example, M-Engineering tunes have demonstrated power increases of up to 146 whp on the Carrera S with Stage 1 tuning.
Compatibility:
This system is compatible with all Porsche 992 Carrera models equipped with the 3.0L twin-turbo engine:
- Carrera Base
- Carrera S
- Carrera 4
- Carrera 4S
- Carrera GTS
For enthusiasts seeking consistent performance and reliability in their Porsche 992 Carrera, this high-performance intercooler is an essential upgrade.
