New CSF High-Performance Intercooler for Porsche 992 Carrera (3.0L Turbo)

Presenting another “world’s first” release from CSF by PWR. In 2021, CSF teamed up with PWR, a Formula-1 cooling system manufacturer and aftermarket partner, to produce the world’s first high-performance intercooler system for the Porsche 992 Turbo and Turbo S. CSF sold more than 200 systems for the 922 Turbo (CSF #8189), and is now pleased the announce the availability of a high-performance intercooler for the Porsche 992 Carrera (all 3.0-liter turbo models). Fitment includes the Carrera Base, S, 4, 4S, and GTS (Coupe, Cabriolet, and Targa) models.

Just like its big brother (the 911 Turbo), the Porsche Carrera is already prone to power loss from the factory due to intercooler heat soak. The OEM location of the intercooler doesn’t help these issues either since it is positioned right above the engine and all the radiant heat coming from it. And adding more power just exacerbates the problem. The solution to the poor location and intense heat soak is simple: a high-performance intercooler system from the cooling experts at CSF.

CSF developed the Porsche 992 Carrera intercooler to address the primary issues associated with the OE unit while also providing enough cooling capacity and durability to cope with higher levels of boost. Like most turbocharged cars, the 3.0-liter Twin-Turbo engine on the Porsche 992 experiences high levels of heat soak and progressively increasing IATs (Intake Air Temperatures) even in modest driving conditions. This results in the ECU pulling engine timing and decreasing power output. The CSF by PWR intercooler solves this and allows the car to perform at optimal levels for prolonged periods of time. 

In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, the increased strength found with the CSF intercooler system improves longevity and durability on high-performance vehicles like the 992 Carrera. OEM plastic/composite end tanks have been known to crack under heavy boost pressure. The CNC machined billet end tanks are ready to withstand increased boost pressures from bolt-on modifications, higher performance tunes, as well as upgraded turbochargers. What’s more, CSF engineered this system to be a complete plug-and-play “drop-in fit” unit. It uses all of the Porsche Carrera’s factory mounting points for a straightforward install that requires no cutting or modifications whatsoever.

 

Arguably the most important feature of the CSF by PWR 992 Carrera Intercooler System is the Formula-1 grade intercooler core. CSF’s strategic relationship with PWR has allowed the inclusion of this core, which is unlike any other one available on the performance aftermarket. These intercooler cores are the same style used in other CSF air-to-air systems previously developed for the Porsche 992 Turbo/S and 991 GT2RS, which featured remarkable results. The PWR cores eliminate heat soak and lower IATs much more efficiently than traditional bar-and-plate designs. The traditional intercooler cores are typically much heavier and larger to improve cooling capacity. Because the PWR core is able to achieve greater performance results in a smaller size, CSF designed the intercooler system to fit in the stock location using all the OEM hardware, ducts, and shrouds.
