no one can fix these cooler with new end tank?i have 2 of them to fix

 

If you're not in a real hurry, I can provide you end tanks with quick connections. I'm facing the same problem and in the middle of getting tanks made. Quick connections are ready (CNC machined) and first set of tanks (laser cut) done, but measurements need to be adjusted.
They would be sent complete, but you'd need to get them welded to cores yourself.

 

looking good bro ,but not sure that what im looking for ! i like the original plastic end tank !

 

the only way your going to stay in plastic is to find another set and rob them. or have a mold made for plastic or c/f and have them custom made. wither way its going to cost more than what a new set or a set of 4.5" i/c will cost. sadly these are now paperweights.

 

And that's the problem with a many gt2rs Ics. They do blow up. In the end, the cost of Saving initially bites you later. I had one client who who bought my 4.5" Ics go Thru 2 sets of rs Ics before he leaned his lesson. Some just leak and cause weird error codes. Hard to find of you don't pressure test from bottom
Markski

 

Those gt2 intercoolers are junk and all have the same problem . Spend the extra money for piece of mind and some nice after market ones . I have markskis for years now they work great

Those end tanks look good Pete be interested to find out how they turn out.

 

So every 997 GT2 that was built has aftermarket ICs now? I also assume there was a massive recall since they all fail?

Just trying to estimate when mine are going to blow up since I have them, thanks.

 

[QUOTE=MARKSKI@911tuning;4417337]i aree with you Marski too much pressure can blew gt2rs IC but from meth ignition everyting blow! like intake manifold ,Y Pipe and of course my gt2rs IC! but without a use of meth pushing it max 1.8 bar should not be a problem...bin there done that long time from my experience

 

The "crapness" of these cores is proven in this thread.
How end tanks are attached to the core is another, completely different issue. No need to dump good cores if there's a solution. BTW, 996 ICs made by Behr don't pop, so it's clearly something in the aluminium Reus uses. Too soft, most likely.

 

It's a bit unfair to blame the quality of the I/c in this instance since the explosion was enough to bust up a cast y pipe and destroy a manifold as well as the I/c

 

How much boost did/does it take to blow these up like that.
I would think that stockish levels are safe else we would be seeing massive recalls..

 

This failure was the result of a methanol vapor explosion in the intake manifold which also destroyed the aluminum y-pipe. No intercooler would have survived this. You're looking at a pressure spike well over 100 psi.

 

U can use steal clamps to avoid this damage. The ircs do not fail with clamps.

under normal circumstances of course
