Hi Everyone, Water Cooled vs Air Cooled - Porsche 996 v.s. Porsche 993 Comparison! Have you ever wondered about the differences between a Porsche air cooled engine and a water cooled engine? We dive in to compare the Porsche 996 Turbo to the 993 Carrera to what is different about these engines in these two series.
What do you think?? Which is your favorite and why?
Any questions or comments (or anything I missed) just leave them below. 😊 Thanks!! Franny
Like your reviews and in this case you correctly point out these are actually OIL cooled cars, and oil isn't as efficient at cooling as glycol/water is. I had a 996 Turbo for many years and would like to try a 993 Turbo.
Wouldn’t we all... they are amazing I am sure. Heidi
I have the money, just so many good choices....
BTW, on Ferrari Chat, there is a new thread about the two of you....you have fans everywhere.
Diablo Roadster lol. Yes, a friend of ours sent us the link. It was very nice. Thanks for telling me as well. Heidi
I learned a few new things from your video! I have both and like both! Out of a 912, Boxster, and 996.2, the Boxster is my favorite to drive.
It's hard to disguise your engineering background. Well done.
Damn, that was the most effortlessly informative car video I've ever seen on RUclips. Bravo.
Thanks so much!
I love how she explains everything well without overcomplicating them to viewers
I love how you take time to thoroughly explain everything in a more simple way. Fascinating info and great video! 👍
What I really love about Porsches is that they are truly sentient machines, and connect with their owners on an emotional level, a bit like a dog.
Most people didn't realise until they watched this video, that you can train your Porsche to start and accelerate just by hand signals! It's almost magical!
Well explained! Personally, I like the "drama" of the air-cooled ones. Their sound is superb at al revs, just a joy...
Agreed.
You couldn't have said it better. Water cooled Porsches lack that old school drama. All the smoothness and efficiency of today's engines is amazing and it's beautiful to see. However, the old ones have a kind of character, such a personality (although they are machines). That's a simple but necessary videos, a real life comparison.
The 3.2 Carrera has to be close to the best of all worlds. Still a bit of ruckus behind you, but a very derivable and reliable car. Nice exhaust note too.
@@HeidiandFranny I haven't had my '87 3.2 Targa for over two decades, and I still think about that car. The tune was one of its most lovable qualities, and it's a long list. I drove a 16 Targa a couple of years ago, and I felt so detached from the road, and all the electric buttons, and other 'modern' things, it was a huge disappointment.
Amazed by your knowledge. Keep doing what you love.
Wow, this was my first video from this channel and I've got to say, well done! You guys have so much passion and knowledge, definitely subscribed. Keep it up!
Learned a lot from this video, very few comparison vids explained this clearly.
+Quinton TV cool.
Franny is a MASTER Porsche technician in my opinion. Great video as always
Thanks! Mine too. Heidi. ;)
I always like the air cooled engine. Really unique. System
Really enjoyed this video. 1 of the best overviews of an air cooled vs. a 996 liquid cool 3.4L. I drive my 996 daily and prefer it to air cooled; does better sitting in traffic, hot summer day cruises and trips up the mountain.
Very much enjoyed your video, with great explanation between the two cars. I have always loved the air cooled Porsches over the water cooled ones. It's the classic raw Porsche experience that the air cooled motors deliver to the driver, and I just love that air cooled Porsche sound through all levels of RPMs.
Ma'am, I swear I learned more from your channel about mechanicals and engines than my university classes! Concise and informative breaking down of topics!
Hats off to you! ✌️
Excelent Video.
I really enjoy, you know very much.
Thanks from Brazil.
Nice video i don't agree with some of that info.l am a Porches VW Guy 40 yr doing resto. Air-cooled is the best deal just love the nothing sound like an air-cool and the fan is part of that great sound. noise to some people. No water no worries
I’ve owned both air- and water-cooled 911’s. Both fantastic, but another water-cooled advantage is their ability to rev higher than their older siblings. Especially the GT3 versions which have usable redlines of 8-9000 rpm! And the sounds they make are ferocious.
I disliked this comment as your statement makes me extremely jealous
I Had a 1973 911 T Targa and a 1981 911 SC Targa Wish I still Had Them. Loved the Sound of Air Cooled.
Well done Ma’am...this is a lot better than most Porsche vids that were only interested in showcasing and entertaining the owners’ whims and fancies...
Subbed....
Welcome! and Thanks!
Another excellent video. In the past I had 3 VW bettles, a '56, '64 and '69. I froze in the first two in the winter and at times the windshield would freeze over, plus the auxiliary propane heater in the trunk on the '56 caught on fire once while driving so I had to pull over and put it out. Saying all that I love the sound of the VW engine as it revs up with gear changing. I am looking for a VW but this time targeting the Ghia or a Super Bug.
I still want an aircooled porshe someday
Impressed with the information and no fat in this video. No word salad, just info. I'll have to check out more vids and subscribe.
I love your channel! I purchased an air-cooled Volkswagen last year, and I appreciate the do-it-yourself Beetle videos. Very informative. Keep it up!
Ma'am how's your lil bug?
The engine bay on your 993 looks very clean, would love to see a video on how to detail an air-cooled Porsche. Keep up the great work! Love my 993!
Thanks! Lots of work in there to prepare for a show. Surprisingly easy to maintain once cleaned. Detailing videos are coming up :)
Very educational video. The audio quality was great. Clear explanations of the engines. Thanks for sharing.
All I can say is wow, this channel is on fire. Keep up the good work, I am currently binge watching all your videos.
Excellent . I hope you transcend modern automotive journalism with your no-nonsense, expert approach. This was exactly what i searched for.
Thanks so much! F
I have a 993 Carrera 2. Whilst I appreciate why Porsche had to go water cooled (and now turbo for the mainstream models), there is just something special about the sound of the air cooled models and the way they drive which makes me stay with my 993 as a car which I drive for pleasure. Yes, my daily driver has a BMW badge but it's the 993 I drive to the Le Mans classic and it gives me entry into a special group of enthusiasts
Hi Paul, yup, that 993 really is something special! We may dip a toe into the BMW world in a bit... We might hit up all of our viewers for some advice. Thanks for your comment :)
This was the first video that I've watched on your channel and WOW I'm impressed! Extremely well explained !!
I hope you check out some more! Thanks.
For the first time in my life I loved listening to a woman talking about cars. Excellent explanation! Thank you!
Great video. During WWII the most powerfull and reliable plane engines were aircooled radial engines. No radiators, no waterpumps, hoses and so. In my 40+ years being a driver, I've owned and driven several aircooled cars. The main problem with all of them was heating the cabin.Some extracted heat from the exhaust and that was allways subject to rust, other tapped warm air from the engine, but that only started working after 20 km or so when te engine got warm. I prefer water cooled now, nice temperature in the cabin, smooth, silent running engine.
Yep. People like one or the other for various reasons. Thanks for the comment.
I would want both! Air cooled on the weekends and water cooled to go back and fourth to work :)
Isn't that the truth? Maybe sneak the air-cooled to work once in a time though ;)
The air cool cars have a lot more character, I love the sound of all the mechanical parts in harmony that make a Porsche stand out from every other sports car. "COOL" video!
:) Thanks!
@@HeidiandFranny I've watched your videos in the past and enjoyed them! This video convinced me to subscribe. I love Porsche! I appreciate your knowledge and experience 🙏 Stay safe and best wishes for the new year!! I also have to thank You Tube for recommending this video based on what I've been watching. 😁👍
There's just something about those little 993's that gets to me Everytime
Me too.
I understand people bitching about the "lack of drama" of the newer engines...but I just love that buttery smoothness of the 996 and newer. It just purrs and yet when you get it excited you still hear that amazing classic porsche sound signature. The power and aggression is there when you want it. If you dont she just glides.
I have a 96 Camry and it runs perfect: I pretend it's a 911 when I drive it 😃😃
Same best car ever is yours a 2.2 i4 or a v6
I have a v6 from a Camry in my mr2, I also do the same! It reminds me of the slant nose 930 Porsche in a way
I do the same with 2019 toyota prius...)))
I hate to break it to you guys but uhhhh
...that’s the dumbest thing I ever heard....)))
Great video with a fantastic clear explanation of the differences between the two engines. I learnt a lot from this and am grateful for the effort put in by the narrator.
Thumb UP ! very clean and understandable video, great job ! Personnaly, even in my 67 Mustang, i have a water cooled system, so as you said it's an "old school" stuff. I like you videos, keep continue, and Hello from Paris France !
Most fluent precise and hence useful analysis of this topic. I'm the market for a porsche and this is the best video that I have found. Thanks!
Thanks so much!
Greetings from Norway! I would just like to compliment you on managing to make this complicated issue so easy to understand for everyone. Thanx
Welcome to the channel if you are new. I have friends in Oslo. At some point I hope to make it there (my great great grandparents were from Norway too). It looks very beautiful. Heidi
Maybe we are distant relatives? You may already know that Norway is great for driving trips. I suggest that when you visit Oslo, catch a domestic flight to the town of Alesund and spend a couple of days driving along the fiords and on the coastal roads of the area: www.heartmybackpack.com/more-og-romsdal/ Alesund is my hometown and I would be happy to help you with planning the routes and assisting you in getting transportation means to your liking. :)
Both our current drives are liquid cooled VW’s but I’d love to have my old air-cooled beetle in the garage as well!
this has been one of most informative porsche engine videos. awesome!
Thanks so much!
Even though I'm on my second Porsche, both water cooled, there is something about the sound of that air-cooled Porsche flying by my house, they get my vote. I've also had the good fortune to drive air-cooled Porsche's as well. It may be that they were older as well and the driving experienced required me to be more (consistently) engaged. But then, I loved the sound of my 1966 VW Bug when I was a much younger person...
It is just such a different sound. The 356 sound is very different than the 3.2 which is different than the 993. Add induction and exhaust and there is no need for a radio ;)
I have an aircooled vw trike and a water-cooled volvo wagon , I see the benefits of both systems !...but air cooled are easier to maintain ! Love the video....keep up the good work
This video was awesome! Well done, informative...and that air-cooled sound is incredible!
Thanks for comparison. I preferred the 996 engine.
Engine sound comparison starts here: 10:00
Heater uses the heat of the exhaust manifold? Oh boi I cant wait to get an exhaust leak! Hahahaha just kidding, nice explain!
Yes same system as Trabant. Two stroke from Zwickau Germany 🤣🤣🤣
I just love the sound of the old air cooled motors, so much noise going on. I was rather lucky ( but unfortunate) to hear the big end bearing knock amongst all those noises on my 2.2 back in the 70's.... a costly noise.
It never leaked any oil though.👍🇬🇧
I don't think anyone could have done a better job of doing a first ever comparison between both engines. Great job ladies. Hopefully you can post a DIY on repairing/replacing illuminated door sills soon.
Hmmm... None of the cars have them, but we will keep our eye out. shmee150 has a recent video called: "My Porsche 911 GT3 is READY! | GARAGE" where he swaps out the lighted door sills on his new 911 GT3 if that is helpful...
Great video. Whenever I asked the dealer about why they went to water cooling I could never get a straight answer. Thanks for clearing that up!
Yeah, not super surprising... There is a lady with a YT channel who sells Lambos. Now she really knows her stuff! I always ask the sales guy what car he/she drives. That usually gives me all the info I need ;)
Keep up the good work, very easy to understand yet informative videos !
Personally, I don't care how it's cooled as long as the exhaust note can put "goosebumps" on my arm!
Miss Franny: You are my new hero. Any young lady that knows the difference between an air cooled Porsche with it's "rev forever" arrogance and a newer water cooled model has my vote.....
I had a '70 911T. Six carburetors. My favorite car of all. Those 130 horses felt like 230!
I used to have a VW type 3. You’re right about the sound, though my car only made 65 hp on it’s best day. Still miss that car though.
Yep, many of us have car regrets. Maybe you should get another.
Heidi and Franny's Garage it’s on the bucket list. 😁😁😁
Very good use of 14 minutes. Thank you, I learned a lot!
I like your presentation skills on the subject matter in all your vids... learning a lot from you
I've had 3 x Aircooled (including a '75 turbo) and 5 water cooled 911's (+ 3 beetles which we wont count). If you remove the money and collectability side of things and just judge them on their own merits then the water cooled cars are in a different league, than the old air cooled. Power, handling, breaking and general livability is sooo much better. The newer cars truly are the 'one size fits all' family car that you can race at the weekend - which is what the 911 was designed to be all along.
Totally agree. I have a 996 and have owned and built air-cooled 911s. I do think the hydraulically assisted steering non-stability controlled manual shift on my 996 is way more fun than the new PDK electric steering cars with neuter-control though. And the two 1974 Porsche 914 2.0s I've owned are the best cars VW ever built. Actually Karmann Ghia built.
Water cooled 911 are total headache when they are old.
I prefer the air cooled engines because it's more easy to fix, looks like VW Beetles but with 2 more cylinders and sounds really nice, it's a historical sound. I like the watercooled engines too and I love Porsche, but for me, 993 was the best Porsche creation of all time and this masterpiece of German engineering too!! I live in Brazil, my dream is have a 993 one day... Nice video
I like an air cool just because it's vintage and it's unique
Very educational and well done video! Thank you!
Sublime review. Your long hair seemingly coming close to the spinning fan was making wince. Sub'd & voted.
Just really getting into Porsches, I bought a 986 and a 996. I'm 63 and had friends that had old bugs, air cooled when I was growing up. And they all had to be rebuilt way before 100,000. But I had a '62, '66, 68 VW bus... Everyone was cautioned against not getting a '73 or after bus cuz they went to the "pancake" engine they were called then because they also needed to be rebuilt but was 3 times the price. Heat was a joke. Came from the shroud with metal pipes carrying this warm air to the cabin with no fan... I've cussed too many times with no heat to speak of freezing.... Living in the south and you have to run your cars AC, couple that with city driving, depending on the oil to cool everything when your in stop and go traffic, sorry, it just won't last. I do like the old feel of the older Porsche's but I'll take the extra work,, hoses and not to mention HP... No one ever mentions that. My 2000 996 is perfect and for sale, and with 300 hp., she's not slow at all. Hit me if interested... But as I remind a buddy of mine, Porsche is smarter than us... Best cars on the road no matter what, Great video... New subscriber, but show us how they compare driving.. Thank...
Hi John, That is in the works... Whereas the Beetles and other VW (I had many) were a bit thin on heat, the 3.2, 993 and even the 356 are great. I've never been cold in those cars - all better than the MINI! Now, the AC... That's a different matter ;)
Welcome to the channel! The 996 is an awesome car and those who poo-poo it haven't driven one. They are superior to the 993 is pretty much every way. But, I do love the 993 ;) F
Excellent. Straight to the subject matter and not trying to be cute and funny. Long may you upload. Clap-clap
Air-cooled FTW.... I have a Multistrada 1000 Ducati, air-cooled, dry clutch... love it.
Great video and great to see some ladies up IN THE HOUSE.
Awesome! I bet that is quick ;)
Not as fast as my Triumph Triples but sooo much fun. And so much character.
I spent a whole evening watching your videos. Great job.
Wow! Thank you so much!!
I love the air cooled engines; simpler and more elegant. The engine sound is part of the experience.
I grew up with air cooled engines, so that's what I like the best. But there is a disadvantage to using air-heat exchangers for a heat source on the air cooled engines. The first time I hit a water puddle with the heat on in my new 1977 911S many years ago, the heated air turned into steam and immediately fogged up all the windows in my car. I had to lower the window and stick my head out to see where I was going! And of course it was raining hard on top of that. But I still love those air cooled engines best!
Oh, that's hilarious! I've never had that happen, but I do try to get the most out of the AC only to clear windows. Still, I really don't worry about the cooling system on the air-cooled cars. That has been the worst bit on the turbo!
Excellent video. Not sure if you answered this already but was another downside of the aircooled engine higher temperatures of the heads meant that the engine had to be built to greater tolerances with larger gaps meaning that aircooled engine ate more oil/leaks?
Hi Nick, I hope you are feeling at least a little better? That does sound familiar. My cars don't seem to leak at the heads and I always thought the smoke on startup and oil usage was more due to the flat, boxer layout, but I bet you are right. The poor 993 hadn't run in a few weeks so it let loose quite a bit of white smoke when Heidi started it the first time... I'd love to know what that little squeal is just as it settles into a cold idle. None of the other cars do that. Probably the clutch accumulator or something. They all sound really different - that is the one thing that actually did change through the years...
Wait,... what were we talking about? I think your flu is rubbing off on me... I hope you get better soon - it suck to be sick. F
Hi Thomas, Totally! That was a big problem on the 911 SC with those Dilavar studs. They were spec'ed to deal with different heat deltas from the exhaust vs. the intakes. They are a bit more hard (brittle) and have a nasty tendency to snap. The 3.2s don't have them I believe, but it is a concern on the SCs.
I do believe it was even more a concern with the 2.7l magnesium block
Hi Heidi? I couldnt believe how well you have elaborated on this topic. Also your pronounciation of the make Porsche is perfect unlike many other 'reviewers'. Is this the end of Doug deMuro? Congrats to this vid and br from Frankfurt/Germany.
Thanks, it is actually Franny and not me talking but she said thanks too. Heidi
One thing I thought you would touch on was how the two cycled heat so differently. What I mean by that is how the water cooled engines retain their heat. That was one of the problems with the air cooled engines, which is the main reason for the higher emissions. The air cooled engines just cooled down so quickly after sitting a little while, so it took longer to bring them back up to operating temperature.
Of course - I love them both. But I think the air cooled just has that "coolness" factor, no pun intended! But also - it seems that working on the 993 would be a lot more fun given that. Not that I wouldn't pass up an opportunity to have a 996 turbo.
Great video and detail as always!
Thank you!
I wonder.. with the insane radiator fan and smoke fan set ups in pro drift cars.. if that would benefit air cooled engines a lot.
They basically have shrouded fans in the trunk that help cool suspension and keep smoke from building up in the cabin.
What a great channel!. I'm super impressed with how you two reply to everyone who leaves a comment. Very professional and touching. Well done my friends!
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoy it :) Franny
I enjoyed the video ! You were very professional ! Very instructive ! Thanks !
I agree the air cooled 993 sound the best ,, but if some park a nice 996 on my parking and drop the keys and papers in min mailbox I dasn't mind ..
Just discovered your channel. Brilliantly clear and informative video.
Yea!! Welcome aboard!
Great video. I have one of each. I have a 1984 3.2 Carrera and a 2002 Boxster S. Love them both.
I like the air-cooled engines. They remind me of the 1962 Beetle I had back in college. Three years before I was born, my father came across the Atlantic on a boat with that brand new Beetle. By the time I inherited it, it wasn't running and needed a rebuild, which I did myself. I had the engine out twice, but never had to split the case open. The old JC Whitney catalog was one of my best friends. I had that old engine sounding soooo good that about once every week or two, a stranger would stop me to complement it. Well finally, just before I graduated, I think it was at about 230k miles on the odometer, I got broad-sided by a pickup truck. Since then, I've owned only water-cooled engines. My whole life, I've always loved the sound of the air-cooled Porsche engines, and would love to own one. But I think the price-point has already escaped my means. Maybe I'll be able to get a replica 356 or 550 with a VW engine. That would still be awesome! Right now, I'm living vicariously through your RUclips channel. Thanks for the great videos. ;o)
Happy I bumped into this great channel. You guys are creating great content!
Thanks so much and Welcome!
such a great explanation - knowledgeable and simple - I prefer the 'old school' lovely 'tinny' sound of the air cooled engine. you always know when one is approaching.
informative - thank you....always had heard about the sound differences of the two engines and very cool to hear them in this video; just purchased a '99 911 Carrera - thought it sounded fairly distinct, but I now get the air cooled fans of that engine's sound
Congrats on the purchase!
You should see and hear my 1980 911 SC with a Paxton supercharger on it. It's very different from the 930 of that era.
Also, you forgot that the air cooled cars had "coolant" lines running up to the front.
I love 'em all so much, that I recently got a 958 Transsyberia.
Thank you for the awesome explanation of air vs water-cooled engines.
Thanks Alex! Glad you liked it :)
Brilliant! Thanks so much. Very informative and a great comparison. I learned a lot.
love it love it love it! I am a newby to porsches and wanted to learn about the aircooled craze that seems to be gripping the market...This really went a ways into explaining it. Awesome really. Thanks!
Franny: I live in LA where bumper to bumper traffic for long periods of time is very common. Would the air cooled cars be more prone to overheating in in these situations? Your video was one of the most informative I have ever seen. Thank you!
Hi. This is Heidi. Water cooled is better for this reason for the heat and rush hour both. I think Franny would second me on this. If you have other questions, email us at our Heidi and Franny's Garage website listed in the description.
A friend owned a 911SC (204HP 3.0 litre) and a Type 964 Carrera 2 (3.6 litre I think) in New Zealand
I remember the SC held around 12 litres of oil in the 'sump' to help keep the flat-6 nice and cool
Yup, it is a lot of oil. They are actually dry-sump engines so a good portion is in the oil tank. Always exciting when you drain it!
Thanks so much, brilliant video and great speaker!
Thank you!
Might be a bit late but this is by far the simplest comparison video for the 2 types of engines. I personally own a 991 Turbo and I'd like to own a 993 or 964 at some point. Nice work.
Thanks!
I'm late to the party, but hands down, air cooled =)
To me, its no longer a Porsche when it went water cooled.
Thanks for the explanation!
I LOVED the sound of my 1980 SC.. Now that I have a 996. I ghad to hack the exhaust!
Another great video. Thank you!
That was an excellent video! I truly learned a lot. I live in Boulder, CO and have a 996 C2. Subscribed!
Thanks Matt!
very informative video...i only started to learn about cars 6 years ago so i dont understand much about these older porsches. See them all the time in cars and coffee and thought they are cool, wanted to own them in the future when i have a bit more garage spaces and available time to do some self wrenching. Subscribed!
Awesome video! Could listen to you talk about cars all day.
Thanks!
My 3.2 Carrera used to worry me when I was queued in traffic; I’d sit and watch the temperature creep up towards the red line! You can’t really drop it by blasting hot air into the cabin like you can with water cooled. Anyway, it never let me down, but it could be a worry in the heat of summer ...
We had a similar issue in 32deg weather in stop and go up in the mountains... The solution is to install a fan on the oil cooler. It is something I plan to add to our car :)
I like the sound of the water cooled 996
Was very informational. Have been wondering why they made the switch. Thanks for this :)
