INCREASED HORSEPOWER AND TORQUE FROM COLDER INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURES AND INCREASED AIRBOX PRESSURE EQUATES TO + 25rwhp + 18rwlbft WHEN AMBIENT TEMPS EXCEED 75F!!!

REDUCTION IN INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURES IN EXCESS OF 25F DEGREES!

 

INCREASED INTAKE SOUND IN COCKPIT BY 20db 


THE PORSCHE CAYMAN'S MID-ENGINE PLATFORM FEATURES THE ENGINE IN THE PREFERRED LOCATION FOR HANDLING, DIRECTLY BEHIND THE DRIVER; THIS SAME ADVANTAGE CREATES A PROBLEM IN A MOTORSPORT ENVIRONMENT, LEAVING LITTLE OPPORTUNITY TO EXHAUST RADIANT HEAT FROM THE CAR'S ENGINE BAY.  WHILE FRONT ENGINE CARS BENEFIT FROM FRESH AIR TO THE NOSE AND EVEN THE VENERABLE REAR ENGINE PORSCHE 911 RUNS COOLER BECAUSE OF MORE FRESH AIR FOR THE CAR'S REAR MOUNTED ENGINE, THE MID-ENGINE DESIGN RUNS THE HOTTEST UNDER THE COLLAR, SO TO SPEAK!

 

THE MID-ENGINE DESIGN ORIENTATION LEAVES SUCH LITTLE OPPORTUNITY THAT IT IS REQUIRED TO HAVE ENGINE AIR SOURCED VIA TWO SIDE 'GILLS' BEHIND THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER.  (THINK BACK TO THE STYLE CUES OF THE PONTIAC FIERO AND FERRARIS 348, 355, TESTAROSSA AND MONDIAL). 

AT TIMES THE AIR BEING DIGESTED CAN BE VERY DIRTY - IT IS HOT BRAKE DUST FROM THE FRONT AXLES OR ROAD DEBRIS GOING DIRECTLY TO YOUR ENGINE.  THE AIR MUST THEN SNAKE THROUGH THE CAR'S BODY AND INTO THE ENGINE BAY WHERE THE TEMPERATURE HAS NOW INCREASED BY OVER 25F DEGREES FROM WHERE IT STARTED.  

THE DRY CARBON FIBER (COMING Q1 2024) WINDOW DUCTS WERE CREATED TO BE RETROFITTED TO THE FACTORY PORSCHE WINDOW FRAMES TO FEED THE ENGINE WITH COLDER FRESHER AIR.  WIND TUNNEL DATA FURTHER REITERATED THE VALUE OF THIS APPROACH WHEN IT QUANTIFIED THE FAR GREATER AMOUNT OF AIR PRESSURE AT THE QUARTER WINDOW vs. THE ORIGINAL SIDE MOUNTED DESIGN THAT HAD BEEN IN PLACE SINCE INCEPTION.

NOTE: EACH CAR'S WINDOW FRAMES ARE COLOR AND FINISH MATCHED BY VIN SO SUPPLYING A CONSISTENT LOOK FOR THE VARYING WINDOW FRAME OPTIONS IS NOT POSSIBLE. 

 

 

 



BY REVISING THE INTAKE AIR LOCATION WE CAN REDUCE THE VARIANCE IN THE INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE TO THAT OF THE AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURES TO BE LESS THAN 7F DEGREES NOT 30F - THIS REDUCTION OF ALMOST 25F IN INTAKE AIR TEMPS MITIGATES THE POWER LOSS THAT CAUSED BY THE HEAT SOAK AND SCAVENGES VALUABLE LOST HORSEPOWER.  AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 120mph THERE IS NOW A GREATER RAM AIR EFFECT FROM THE FAR GREATER PRESSURE AT THE WINDOWS.
