SPEEDHUNTERS: How to COOL a Cayman: Upgrading to a GT3 setup

The Porsche Cayman is as close as it gets to a perfect mid-engine sports car. Relatively speaking the “budget Porsche sports car” is the best bang for you buck when looking to live the “P-car” life but not break the bank. If you’re looking to turn a road-legal Porsche into a full-blown race car or simply have some fun on the street, possibly with some occasional track duty, you can do no wrong with picking up and modifying a Porsche Cayman or Boxster.

MotoIQ: a Step-by-Step Guide of a GT3 Radiator Conversion on a 987 Cayman

The 987 Porsche is known to have heating problems when driven on the track hard, especially ones that have the PDK transmission. PDK equipped cars can go into limp mode during a track session longer than 15 minutes on a hot day. Since we don’t want to be compromising the aerodynamics of our Verus Engineering aero system by cutting holes in the front of the car for extra heat exchangers for the PDK fluid and engine oil, we will be using oil to water coolers for the PDK and engine oil. This means that we will have to increase our cooling systems ability to absorb more heat from the engine and transmission. We are turning to CSF Radiators for a set of there big racing radiators for the nose of our 987.
