How To Replace & Upgrade Porsche 996 Radiators (Carrera 3.4L & 3.6L)

Porsche’s first foray into completely water-cooled engines for their 911 went strictly O.K. Their experience with their water-cooled front-engined models allowed them to work out most of the cooling system kinks before the 996 and 986 hit showroom floors, though their engines suffered in other areas. However, these engine issues have been worked out, and 996s are finding themselves as track rats that could use an upgrade in the cooling department.

Pelican Parts: Porsche Center Radiator High Performance Retrofit Upgrade Kit with Aluminum CSF Radiator

Want to add a center radiator to your 996? How about adding the aluminum high performance radiator from CSF? Here is everything you will need to add a center radiator to your 996 if you don’t already have a center radiator. New CSF all-aluminum Center Radiator, Hoses, Ducting, Hardware – it’s all there!

Pelican Parts: Porsche 996/997 Center Radiator Installation

The venerable GT3 design includes a center-mounted radiator that was sometimes installed on various Carrera models as well (mostly Tiptronic transmission equipped cars).

The larger, more powerful engine dictated the use of the front-mounted radiator in addition to the two standard side radiators. Adding the front-mounted radiator is a good upgrade for cars that will be driven in hot weather or have undergone some performance modifications. In particular, if you’re going to be taking your Carrera out to the track someday, I would recommend the installation of the additional radiator. It will provide some significant added protection against overheating, as it typically reduces the highest operating temperatures by about 10-20 degrees Fahrenheit (7-12 degrees Celsius) after installation.

First-Ever Liberty Walk Porsche

Liberty Walk has no qualms about cutting up new, six-figure exotic sports cars to restyle their bodies. Their latest creative remake is their first-ever Liberty Walk Porsche, the product of a collaboration among BBI Autosport, CSF Cooling, and Liberty Walk for the 2014 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show to prove that Liberty Walk cars can impress with performance as well as appearance. The Porsche 997 was perfect for the collaboration. BBI builds and tunes some of the fastest, and the 997 is the latest high-end European sports car to get the LW treatment. Add CSF racing for cooling support for a splendid construction.

Turn 14: CSF’s 997 GT3 Full Cooling Package Offers Irreplaceable Peace of Mind

My reframed approach toward the “Porsche Moment” had two tangential benefits: patience and resolve. Together, that concoction reinforced an unwavering approach toward creating my ultimate GT3. This slow burn allowed me to be deliberate in my selections — like the Recaro Classic Pole Positions, 18″ Advan GT Premium wheels, Öhlins TTX coilovers, and Akrapovič Evolution titanium exhaust — but also the privilege to enjoy every improvement along the way. Today, that calculated approach brought me to CSF and our usual Montgomeryville, PA stomping grounds, R/T Tuning.

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.

Porsche 911 997 Radiator Replacement & Upgrade DIY (2005-2012 Porsche Carrera, S, 4S, Targa, GTS)

Porsche 911 997 radiators are known to fail and need replacement. Over time, the plastic end caps on the factory radiators heat cycle will eventually leak. While you can replace your radiators with OE versions, we recommend aftermarket replacement with a reputable company like CSF.

The left and right CSF radiators in the kit featured in this video are not only made entirely of aluminum, but they have also increased cooling performance over the stock Porsche 997 radiators. Whether you drive on the track, spiritedly on back roads, or you are just cruising around town, additional cooling is always welcome, and these CSF radiators increase cooling capacity by 40% and efficiency by 20%.

Follow along with Michael Hidalgo as he demonstrates the step-by-step instructions on how to replace all three Porsche 911 997 radiators at home in your garage or driveway.

Stanceworks: IN A HALF MILE – RAVI DOLWANI’S CSF-EQUIPPED 1000HP PORSCHE 991

While former builds have focused on what CSF has done, the new project needed to showcase what CSF can do, a pivotal difference in overall mindset. The concept of a show car or daily driver seemed lackluster in contrast to his overall goals, thus Ravi turned his eyes to the 991 Porsche Turbo platform. By 2018, 991.1 models were a few years old, coming off of leases and landing in the hands of second-owners, which were ripe for Ravi’s picking. With a number of builds out there having broken the 1,000 horsepower mark, Ravi knew the platform had the capabilities he was after. The hunt for the right example commenced.

SPEEDHUNTERS: GT4 Radiator Conversion for the 981/718 Cayman

The Porsche 981 and 718 Caymans are incredibly popular track cars. One issue these cars tend to have on track is overheating and going into limp mode. Porsche helped resolve this issue on the GT4/RS with a larger center radiator with ducting/venting to improve air flow. Upgrading to the larger GT4 Radiator is a huge improvement and can be done with factory parts with no modifications necessary. CSF friend and media partner Dustin Williams recently performed the GT4 Radiator Conversion on his Cayman GTS. He was kind enough to share the parts needed to complete this conversion.

It’s easy to take for granted just how much development goes into ‘proper’ modification.

But that’s also a testament to doing a job properly. As a tuner, you’re supposed to do the hard work so the lucky customer can reap the benefits after. And in the case of Porsche 992 tuning, that means extra power. Lots of extra power.
