Boxster intercooler???....

[pinzgo]

You guys are lucky. we had snow record last week. And snow every day. But it is opportunity to stay inside and work on my baby !!!. Last night I put anti rust coating on inside of trunk prior to bolt on intercooler, methanol pump and nitro. AS we still have anough place for luggages in front of that well build car, the rear trunk will be used exclusively for these upgrades.
The trunk will be vented by a 10 inches fan fixed inside cover on a 9 inches round opening covered outside with a scoop. I found lovely scoop that fits with lines of car. That fresh air will go right on intercoolers add will after get out by vents located on each side rear fenders. About 800 cfm of new air. I have opportunity to have fiber trunk cover with no brake light and no spoiler. It is easy to work with without causing any distortion. Methanol is AEM progressive.
If any have done technical upgrades that can help, I need to know. Pictures will come !!
Just to tell you that our winter here in Quebec Canada remembers me the nice times I passed studying in Long Beach, California in the Seventies.
Just bought Condo in Lauderdale Lakes Fl to get rid of that. But this winter is my Porsche's winter.
take care, Jacques

Hi guys, some pictures, better late than never. Job is about 75% done. Still have to fit CO2 nozzles on intercooler, tubing and fan on lid. Everything fits perfect until now. Job will be done within a week. I will send you pictures 5 at a time. It is maximum allowed.

Hi Ed. intercooler weights about 12 pounds, so the bottle and it will take 10 pounds of CO2. For the Methanol pump, about 2 pounds with a 8 pounds for one gallon of 50-50 water ethanol. I removed Spare tire from front and put Little compressor and flat repair pressurised can as they do now in new boxster. I also removed soft top. I have hard top and speedster hump.So the added weight is just slightly positive.
Best, Jacques

Pictures, suite. It will be all for today. I just received new 10 inches wheels and Bfgoodrich slicks. Amazing. I also modified Catalicts by upgrading to 2 inches ss bent pipe. My big challenge now is fan and scoop on trunk lid. It is a 1200 cfm, 10 inches. You should see weather outside. Storm with 25 cm of snow
I will follow pictures
Allez Guys, Keep on running

Pretty interesting Jacques.

Your breaking allot of convention, but that's what this thread is about. On that front, I think your in the lead. I'm really curious to see how much hp these engines can take, OI think will see with your car.

Nice work on the gages. I tried to fit mine on either side of the existing 3 guage cluster, mechanisms just don't fit.

Keep it up,

Regards, PK

Hi PK, I falled on that 3 gages pod at GLOWSHIFT. It costs only 12.00 and fits perfect. Nothing to do on it. Gauges are also at fair price. Thanks for comments. The most serious advices I had from Rolex Porsche racing mechanic and from IA is to not to send nitro inside engine. Methanol is what I need to bring to maximum without blowing, I hope. Must get around 400 hp at 7psi
