When Phil at Driftworks takes his already incredibly fast Porsche 964 Turbo and adds a massive intercooler and new pipework, the process is a sight to see. Watch as he shares some of the process the guys at Alpha Performance Fabrication went through installing the huge unit.

Replacing A 30-year Old Cast Element Makes A Big Difference

This specific core, called the ITEC - short for Internally Turbulated Efficiency Core, is incredibly efficient, but what is most impressive about them is the recovery rate which is useful on an air cooled vehicle, where the intercore sits above the heat source. The addition of the new element will certainly create improved results on the track.

The old one was nice, and worked well for when and where it was made, but this monster of a unit takes the Porsche Turbo to the next level. Core technology is constantly evolving every 6-to-12 months, and something new is always coming along.

The Finished Product Reveal Was Impressive

The finished product turned out fantastic, with the laser cut Alpha mounting plate displayed prominently upon the reveal. The Wiggins clamps, enhanced in purple, jumped right out and are considered a no-brainer for their reliability. It’s important to avoid using silicone hoses due to the high boost produced by theTurbo, and the Wiggins clamps were actually installed on the compressor housing as well. The move required removal of the housing without removing the bumper, which required some skill. A great deal of time and effort was spent on the design to ensure a seamless look and a clean finish. With such a visual car, the look of the core through the vents was important.

Alpha Performance Fab’s Resume Is Impressive

Seen in the background of the video were a large batch of F40 fuel tanks, and Alpha Performance Fabrication is the only shop in the UK that produces them. They’ve done 20 sets in the last 18 months, and while not able to get the full tour, the Porsche was in very good company in the shop.

They also work on radiators, cooling and exhaust systems, essentially anything Motorsport related where a driver is looking to make any type of marginal gain. They are widely known for their work on Motorsport models, reversing engineering historic vehicles, as the parts are no longer available.
