Intake port measurements
For 32V engines, with heads on engine, intake removed.
What are the measurements for the intake ports: 1. from port to port, one cylinder to the next---center to center, either head 2. from port to port, one bank to the other, center to center thanks--- regards---rhjames

Thanks I was trying to get it to where it didn't take up so much vertical space.
Speaking of measurements, how's about pulling your intake and sending me the measurements?????  regards---rhjames

Might be interesting to know what the difference is between hot and cold too, bank to bank.

Isn't expansion the reason Porsche doesn't use a one piece intake on any of the 928, all of them have flexible hoses between the banks.

The intake ports are about 1.9 wide, 1.75 tall with a relief for the injector spray. The spacing is the same as the bores, 4.803. What's the plan?
BTW, that's cold. hot would be 1.9001 x 1.75001 ;-) |

Hey, leave Danglerb alone, he can't help it, he's 928 challenged. Pick on someone with an IQ at least equal to you own
JK Danglerb, don't get your G-string in a wad!

just trying to get the measurements on th 32V engine.
considering having a sheetmetal intake fabbed up for the 32V engine to do several things: for 32v installs in early 928, eliminating the head ache of wiring harness(es) and computer change outs. for 32v installs using carburetor or aftermarket fuel injection (re: modern) reason for this exercise: 16V heads do not/are not capable of flowing as much CFM as 32V heads, even after modification. Just an engineering exercise, nothing to get too anal about. If anyone has these measurements, please speak up. regards---rhjames

RH how exact of an answer are you looking for, is using a tape measure on an engine with the intake off close enough? I'm going to be at 928Intl this week, I'll measure one. ***** btw sometimes at 1:17am my questions may look like statements.

Yea rh, pay attention. Barbapapa posted the numbers already
I used to have a lot of links for custom fuel injections, I will try and find them.

The bank to bank port centers are about 10.488, the cylinder banks are offset from each other .984 front to rear.
BTW, for more pics of that engine try kellymoss.com. |

I blame it all on my english teachers.
When the aluminum engine gets hot, it gets bigger. Other parts either don't change as much, some due to materials, some due to different temperatures. When you bolt stuff together, you have to compensate. Specifically I was talking about the distance across the V, the bank to bank distance, which I assume changes from cold to hot.

MY assumption, which I have no idea is correct, is that the intake will not be as hot as the heads, or the rest of the engine due to the charge air going through it, and the gas evaporating at the injectors.
Base reason behind my question though is why Porsche made the 928 (not the later S4 etc.) intake the way they did with a body and eight rubber coupled legs. Good question, my guess is that aluminum heads on an iron block may use a head gasket that allows for some level of movement, but when a head gets too hot movement is constrained enough by the bolts that the head warps. BTW I used to have a Kaiser Manhattan, now that was an empty looking engine bay.
