Porsche used the same radiator for the Tiptronic, Turbo, GT3 and I believe the Boxter S.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

13 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

A few days ago I added the center radiator "upgrade" to my '99 C2 and it was definitely well worth it. The car is running noticeably cooler, here's a pic after driving for about a half hour after dropping my daughter off at the airport. the needle used to sit part way into the 0 and around town on warm days it would creep up to just past the 0.

POST 3Original post

Good info, where did u buy the "kit" or did u piece it? Is it a bolt on upgrade or modification needed for a 996 oem bumper

POST 4Original post

Less than 10 available! Hurry Before they're gone! LIMITED TIME OFFER!

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was lucky enough to find a used one on ebay, came with everything but the hoses. It bolts right up, all the 911's and Boxters have the mounting point's already. Porsche used the same radiator for the Tiptronic, Turbo, GT3 and I believe the Boxter S. The only difference being the ductwork. Mine came off a wrecked 996 Tiptronic.

POST 7Original post

I want to do the same mod on my 2000 996 with manual shift. What else except the radiator is needed for this ? I guess the center radiotor must be conected to both side radiators with water hoses right ? What kind of brackets are needed to mount the radiator ?

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Basically all you need is the factory hoses for the center radiator, they are basically the regular hoses that go to your left and right radiators but have a hose that tee's off that hose too the center radiator. Vivid Racing sell the kit's you can go to their site and see everything that's needed and there is a great right up on Pelican Parts site that has detailed pics and instructions for the install. You need to look under the tech articles for the Boxter but it's the same for our car. No extra brackets are needed, the frame that mounts the ducting to the radiator also has tabs that line up with the factory mounting points behind the front bumper cover. Pretty straight forward install. If your lucky enough to possibly find a wrecked 911 with the center radiator you would have all you need, or of course there are a few venders that sell the complete kit's.
