3.6 Conversion Update

I love the way you hid it in the back. What did you mount it to?

I don't remember, maybe Joe can post a pic. Ingo just wire tied his to the manifold in the back(I think).

Personally I would want to get rid of that lump(power steering blockoff)

I just didn't have the patience to fab a holder for the cannister. For the air filter I fabed two brackets out of pipe squashed flat and drilled at either end. And zip tied the cannister to one of the brackets.

I don't mind the 993 Porsche factory block-of since it is hidden under the (still absent) sheet metal. It won't interfere or take up any real estate where it is located. And it is stock.

Ryan sure did a beatiful job with all the powdercoating. I was on a tighter budget and patience level myself and just wanted to get done with the swap. The price I have to pay now is that the sucker leaks from the valve covers and the pully seal. Oh well, at least I am not running out of projects.

Rotate yours exaclty 180 degrees. The connector points to the firewall. The black plastic cap points up. If you have the stock airbox it'll be obvious how to orientate it.

I thought about this, I don't have the stock airbox and I didn't like the way it sat the other way. Does anybody see a problem running it like this?

Ingo, did you get my email about the 25x30mm sealing ring part number I need?

The mystery of the vacuum can mount is solved



I used the stock air box and therefore kept the stock mount. It's no wonder I couldn't remember.

Thats the kind of thing that would drive me crazy. Just knowing that it was there. I'm also sure that if I left it it would eventually be in the way.
