oil drain plug as return for turbo

[sigchuck]

Hi guys, I sent a message to Achtung Kraft. They make quite few CNC and 3D printed parts for Porsche (underdash air vents, foldable targa top, door handles, mirrors, etc.), and have been pretty active in the tech forum.

They said they could probably make these but would need sell 10-15 units. All very preliminary (can't stress the preliminary part enough), but any chance 10 people might be interested - obviously depending on price?

I would be in 100%.. hell I’d buy all 10 depending on overall price .

@gumba, would you sell me your CAD file from when you made these? I’m not trying to make a living, just trying to fill a void is all.

[gumba]

No CAD files. I machined the parts on a manual mill and lathe.

[Dwnshft]

Ah crap.

Here’s a real 934. Looks pretty simple.

Does it go up and over the 123 bank?

My blue 930 scavenge pump is one of the last remaining leaks I need to address. Would love to buy one of these and delete scavenge system.

I'd be interested.

This is one of the many parts I am designing with the turbo kits I am trying to make. Almost have the CAD design locked down, next step is to find a reasonable machinist to cut these things out.

I'm definately interested... in the coming months, I am doing a turbo converion to my 3.0 so the timing is about spot on.

[Dwnshft]

That’s exactly what I’m doing to my 3.0l currently.. hammering out all the nitty gritty BS. Lol

It sure looks like it in the pic. Not sure how that’d work

Please explain triangle of death.

As someone who hasn’t been active for the past few years, it’s a relief to see that people are still doing cool stuff like this.

I’ve never been happy with my oil drain setup, it’s one of the most annoying parts of the conversion.

Interestingly, some people say they have no issue with gravity drain, but there still seem to be plenty of people with issues. I'm tempted to try gravity first, since it saves me having to buy and and wire a pump.

As for the conversion, it's gonna be slow.. the engine is coming out in a few weeks and I'll start to bolt the bits on.. (easy) but wiring up my very first ecu and trying not to fry it, will be much more challenging!

I don’t know how to post a pic on here (call me a noob) but I have a finished my CAD file and a 3d printed test piece. And started to source the CNC job. I’m sure I could get a better price if I did a batch order. My question is how many people are actually serious about buying one? I think I might be able to get a batch of them by the end of this month..

I’m in, depending on where they come out on pricing.

Unless there’s some sort of hidden bull crap fee that I haven’t been hit with yet, they should be right at 300$
