Intake / Intercoolers

Intercoolers

The stock intercoolers on turbo based Porsche cars have improved significantly over the generations of the turbo models. However, these are built at a price point and there are better solutions on the market either for stock turbo cars or those turbos which have been tuned. 

The need for better intercoolers on tuned cars is paramount. Increasing timing and boost leads to higher intake temperatures and therefore the fitment of better intercoolers is the best method to reduce those intake temperatures. This leads to greater performance retention. 

At Nine Excellence (9e) we were the first UK company to fit the Porsche GT2RS intercoolers to modified Porsche turbos. These intercoolers are a great upgrade for 996 and 997.1 turbos. We have also done extensive testing of other alternatives on the market. We have found that most do not offer significant benefits over these Porsche GT2RS intercoolers except some very high end brands. We have partnered with DO88 who produce aftermarket intercoolers that are better than the Porsche GT2RS intercoolers for those seeking that extra performance.

Intake Plenum

The revolutionary and patented design of the IPD Porsche Plenums improve intake air flow by replacing the factory plastic "T" style design with a more efficient, cast aluminum "Y" design. The IPD Plenums distribute the air flow more effectively by using a true merge collector and reducing pressure drop at the throttle body inlet. This innovative “Y” diversion area of the IPD Plenums split and channel intake air flow reducing air flow turbulence and increasing air flow velocity. This superior and proven design ultimately results in considerably power gains throughout the horsepower and torque curves.

Bottom line, the "Y" design delivers increased power and drivability. The patented "Y" design Plenum offers a lower pressure drop across the merge collector than a conventional/mass production "T" air distributor. Any pressure drop in the intake tract will serve to either back pressure the turbocharger in a forced induction application or to choke intake flow in a naturally aspirated engine. Both scenarios limit the performance potential of the engine.

IPD Plenums have earned the reputation of being the single best “bolt on” performance upgrade you can possibly install on a late model Porsche. The IPD Plenums provide the best power per dollar return in the Porsche after-market industry today. They have been tested, challenged and proven over and over again to deliver the power gains IPD claims.

Y-PIPE

Installing a y-pipe to the throttle body that has a greater CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) of flow will help deliver more air to the engine and develop more power.

Intake to Turbos

Installing larger intakes to the Turbos helps with quicker spool and larger flow of air to the turbo resulting in more power.
