Cartuning Performance INTERCOOLED 3800 Turbo Kit - Media Page

This page compiles all of the pictures and information of the
new Cartuning Performance Intercooled 3800 Turbo Kit.

- Below are the production images of the turbo kit with the all-new Cartuning Performance Air-to-Air Intercooler. Please note that this kit shows the upgraded Precision Turbo PT-61 custom built turbo and the optional Air-to-Air Intercooler.

- Below is a close-up of the Cartuning Performance Air-to-Air Intercooler unit. This intercooler is completely custom, made exclusively for Cartuning Performance. Both endtanks were engineered specifically for this 3800 Turbo Kit. The unique inlet endtank was specially-designed to ensure that the air deflects off the endtank wall and moves all the way up to flow through ALL the rows for maximum cooling. Other designs that have straight-in inlets do not take advantage all of the cooling rows, greatly reducing it's potential for maximum heat exchange of the intake air charge.

Here are the intercooler specifications:
- 2.0" inlet
- 2.5" outlet
- 24.0" wide
- 8.0" tall = this is the maximum height without blocking any of the core with the front bumper support
- 3.5" thick = a full 1" thicker than similar kits!

NOTE: this image is of a last-revision prototype intercooler

- Below are images showing various angles of the new CNC mandrel-bent piping going to/from the turbo and intercooler. The upper piping which resides in the engine bay, comes standard with a shiny ceramic coating to eliminate any heatsoak. Meanwhile, the lower piping is powder-coated a glossy black for extra durability under the vehicle. The inlet to the intercooler and the entire lower section of the inlet piping was designed to sit directly behind the plastic air deflector for added protection.

The bright orange "bump hoses" flex to absorb the movement from the engine so that there is no stress placed upon the intercooler mounts. The custom black 4-ply all-silicone adapter mates the 2.5" intercooler outlet piping to the inlet of the throttle body. There is 3" of the larger diameter portion of the silicone adapter so the intake charge flows into the adapter and creates a "pocket" of air before reaching the throttle body, to ensure that the intake charge blows fully through the mass air flow (MAF) sensor.

NEWS AND RESULTS:
- Our test GTP ran back-to-back 11-second passes at the drag strip with the Turbo Kit, GTP Conversion Kit, Air-to-Air IC Kit, and minimal other modifications! Details can be found HERE!

- We have installed the Turbo Kit, GTP Conversion Kit, and Air-to-Air IC Kit onto a bone-stock 2004 Grand Prix GTP Comp-G for testing, and were able to dyno it to over 400 HP to the wheels!! Details can be found HERE!
