Translations - German to English
  • Kuehl = Cool
  • Wirbelsturm = Hurricane
The Kuehl Wirbelsturm Hurricane Motor is a  permanent magnet motor which typically lasts 3-4 times longer than the competitors inexpensive series wound motor. The Kuehl motor installs inside the Behr evaporator box and uses the original 30 vane OEM steel blower wheel. The design of the Kuehl motor makes installation rather easy: very simple modification, accepts the original steel blower cage and plugs into the existing fan motor power connector. Fits cars with factory air conditioning having Behr brand evaporator boxes with the earlier style flat top cover with a small dimple that looks like this: The Kuehl Wirbelsturm Hurricane motor fits vehicles with factory air having a Behr brand evaporator box top as shown here on the left.   The top of the box has a small 'dimple'. These earlier flat top evaporator covers can also be identified by the orientation of the original motor inside as its shaft points upward and uses an original 30 vane OEM steel blower wheel; as opposed to later model evaporator covers having a 2" high bulge and the motor shaft points downward and uses a plastic blower cage as shown below.       If you have a 911 or 930,  1986 to 1989 model year,  and your evaporator box top looks like the picture on the left you can "back date" your evaporator top to use our motor. To do this you need to locate a good used evaporator box top, with the old motor, metal blower wheel and the plastic platform the motor and blower wheel are mounted on.... from a 1970-1985 year car.   Best sources for locating these parts are dedicated Porsche salvage yards,  Rennlist or Pelican forum classifieds.       911930evapboxpartsThe parts needed  if you have a 1986-1989 year are the following parts found in models 911, 912 and 930 from years 1970-1985: (A)  the older version Behr evaporator box top, part number is 911-573-021-00 (B) the older version metal 30 vane blower wheel, such as part number, 901 573 906 00, or early versions of 901-573-906-01  (30 vane only). (C) the older version plastic platform support, part number 911-573-323-00

    We installed this motor only because the original was noisy. We were pleasantly surprised to find that it moves a lot more air than the original motor.

    No question that the fan was stronger. Bottom line the parts worked as described and were straight forward to install as on as I was replacing everything but the rear condensor.

    The fan works great, however one of the mounting brackets fell off the motor when I was installing. I epoxied the leg back on. Appeared to be only partially tac welded.

    • Griff

      Sorry to hear about the bracket issue, if you call us we’d replace the unit

    I purchased the evaporator, the hurricane fan, and the center vent. It made a HUGE difference. Vent temps of just over 40 Fahrenheit and PLENTY of air. The hurricane fan is a BIG improvement. I am going back for the variable speed controller. All good!
