Intake plenum and 911 throttle body

[dijinn]

So... when do we get to start buying one of these little gems?

[Ben006]

I want to test it at least until the end of June

The more I test it, the better!

What will be a surprise is the dyno results I think. The power is definitely there!

Hi guys!

Today I took a look a the plenum



It looks good, no deformation, and still stiffer than the cross tube in fact!

I do need to make some modifications because the big radius makes it a b*tch to put in... I have to try another technic to put it in easily and save the big radius!

I also need to clean to outside surface better as oil can seep through the pores (Nothing major, I just need to take more time prepping it, and epoxy paint will finish the job), the first one didn't have this problem.

I also found a solution for the AOS to connection, I'll show you when I get the parts.

Could you make one for the 911, or will it fit?

Also, why not make one that connects all 4 intake tubes? What's the point of just the connector on the rear two?

[Ben006]

I can make one for the 911, it might happen after I'm done with the one for the boxster

The secondary cross tube has a valve in it that only opens after a certain rpm to virtually vary the intake volume.

Making it just one big piece would defeat the purpose of the cross tube and loose low end power.

Hi guys,

Last update before I go on vacation (finally graduated )!

I'm still using the plenum, and it's still giving entire satisfaction so far! It has not deformed, softened, or cracked!

I found a good way to put it in and pull it out without much trouble, so I won't have to reduce the radius like I thought.
The only modification that I will do is space the vacuum fittings more... nothing major.

My car has giving me trouble lately, not due to the plenum, but the AOS and it's lower vent hose.

I see the end

Ben.

Congrats on graduating!!! I'm pretty confident you will do well in the field!

Hi guys!

So... Bad news.

Right now I am stuck in France for an unknown amount of time... Thanks to my school who provided excellent informations again.

I've been denied access to the plane after my connecting flight in Zurich.
A 1200€ plane ticket in the trash, and a trip back to Nice... yep.
At least I, and everyone I know are safe!

I don't know how or when I'm going to come back :/

So the plenum project in delayed... again.

Ben.
I wish you, your family and friends, all the best.
Take care, and come back safe.
Do not be too worry, I'm sure things will work out fine.

[Ben006]

Some news, I'm still in France...

I should be back by the end of august :/

Once I'm back, the first ones will be available!

Ben.

Nice work man...come back safe!

Looks like you can adapt the stock 3.2 to work with this...

Can you print in black ?

[Ben006]

Thank you

Yes, it will fit the 986 2.7/3.2 (After, I plan on doing it for the 987.1 and 996).

I can do it in "black". Their black is more like a dark blue.
So I will print them in white and paint the outside like I did on the first one

[jaykay]

Okay.....! I meant stock 3.2 intake tube...looks it will fit with some end treatment

[Ben006]

Ah! Didn't understand, sorry.

The 3.2 intake tube is the same as the 2.7 intake tube, they both use a 68mm TB.

The intake tube I use is what I've found to be the easiest and cheapest without butchering the stock tube. There might be better solutions (AirAid UBI kit), but more expensive.

So are you still planning to sell the 3D designs online for others to buy and build their own shape??

[Ben006]

You mean the 3D file ?
No, I will keep it, but I can definitely make plenum for custom applications!

[heliguy]

Hi Ben. What part of Florida are you in?

[Ben006]

PM'd you

I thought you started to offer the design via an online 3D printing shop where you could buy the part (ie have it made) and they would ship to me, and pay you?

Not doing that anymore?
