BBi Autosport's Porsche 996 Turbo Coolant Pipe Welding: The Best Permanent Fix for Common Failure
At Murtha Motorsports, we had the privilege of working on a customer's Porsche 996 Turbo and addressing a common issue that these vehicles face: faulty factory coolant pipes. These pipes, which are found in the 996/997 GT1 block (Turbo, GT2, GT3, GT3 RS), are made from extruded aluminum tubes bonded to the housing with adhesives. Over time, these adhesives can break down and lead to a catastrophic failure where coolant spills all over the engine bay.
To properly fix this issue, we turned to our trusted partners at BBi Autosport. They have developed a solution that involves removing and cleaning the coolant housings in an ultrasonic cleaner, welding in billet aluminum ones, and pressure testing them to ensure they are fully functional.
