993 Project update (plenums+intercoolers)
 

Hey guys.

Had some free time between classes so I've been getting a little more work done on the 993. Also got a Meziere pump for water cooling of the ball bearings and a better Bosch fuel pump.

Intake plenums for ITBs taking shape:

SaWeet!

Can't wait to see 'er go!

Very interesting on the intake! that is one area that we dont have many choices, what could a set of custom intakes like that could cost me? Good Work!

Hi Juan,

The TWM individual throttles will be around $3300. Not sure what labor rates are in florida so don't know what to say the plenum facrication would cost.

Princeton,
I am about this l l close to coming down there and demanding to know HOW you pull this stuff off.

Hey Juan...I have seen several of your video's and I am impressed. Regarding the intake plenum, you should talk with Marty at Staggs Racing in LA. He is building an intake plenum for my type-4 turbo on my 912 project. I know that he does custom turbo work for several types of cars as well as for lots of drag racers. He was building a carbon fiber 996 drag car, but he sold it for a rail. He gets over 600hp out of a turbo 4-cylinder motor, check out these pics:

Awesome!! Any more pics of the i/c in place? Princeton...I don't have a clue how you can stay focused in class :D

loving ya work.........

So who is building the intake ? regarless of the labor cost I haven't run into anyone that will do them, I know Norwood $ will do it, it be interesting to find out how they did the math for the cfm, I will like to think that if properly done this could allow the motor to make some serious power.

During all my search I did came across them and is too bad he sold it, that was going to be a nice ride, I still have hopes that someone will come up and build another 996 like bellos did or anything similar but for now we must wait and dream:(

Awesome stuff as usual Princeton :) do you have a website where we can see all this progress ?

Juan with your car around we don,t need a 996 dragracing :D Your car is much nicer ! keep up the good work guys you and Princeton are doing an awesome job.

Nice work. Where did you get those plenum ends?

ruf - I'll try and take some more pics this week.

Juan - I'm building them. This is more of a hobby for me than anything else so I really wouldn't know what to charge. How much did norwood quote you for a setup like this?

Dutchie - Thanks. Haven't gotten around to compiling all the updates onto a website yet.

Dean - Got the aluminum round ends from a fabricator friend. I could try and find out where he sources them.

Turn your hobby into a job and never work another day in your life...

Can you tell I'm in the employment field? Need an agent?

AMACs twin turbo motor was built by Norwood. It has similar intakes. I saw his car being built there before he bought it. They are very proud of there stuff.

I can remember the price it was very long time ago but it was high enough that I pass at that time, you may want to really think about selling those, I am sure you could sell a ton of them as theres no one doing it that I am aware of, now of course if you want to donate a set for us that will earn you a spot in our sponsorship program :D :D

I could use an agent or two, six figure salary, 8-5, holidays doubble time, 4 weeks vacation,15 sick days, tools and coverhauls will travel only to south america, can you fix me up
:D :)

I think that says a lot about the person you are, having the money to have it done but doing it yourself. I think that is the dividing line between spoiled and privilaged. Great work Princeton.

Awesome work-I love seeing "home made" fab being done. I'm jealous that I don't have the skills (or patience) to pull stuff like that off.

BTW-that 4 banger is pretty awesome looking.

Thanks again guys.

Jeremy - Would definitely be fun. Maybe when i'm done with school.

Juan - I wouldnt mind making stuff like this but in this case I'd almost require that the car be present for fitment while fabricating.

Here are some pics of one side completed:

I always enjoy seeing the pictures of your fabrication work - beautiful stuff. I'm curious, what are you studying in school?
