phazed Posted April 6 Author Report Share Posted April 6 Another question. How can I delete attachments to free up space as I apparently have used up 100% of attachment space. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. Apparently you can't do that. Use the Imgur or Flickr hosting services and 'Copy Image Link' into you postings from the images you post on those hosts.

phazed Posted April 7 Author Report Share Posted April 7 So those pictures that I put in a few years ago, we put in wrongly and actually act as attachments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try clicking on your profile picture (top right), then select “my attachments” and you’ll see each one listed. Click on each one and that takes you to the post you made. Click the three dots at the top of the post and then edit your post, which should allow you to delete the attachment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randeep Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 Alright gents, thought I'd let you know my outcomes with a 987 airbox, 987 MAF, 996 TB and 996 plenum. I have a facelift 2.7 which needed a new engine, so the new to me engine went in with the new to me intake upgrades. A few weeks ago I took it to ChipWizards to get it mapped as Wayne really knows his stuff. So the outcome was 235bhp and 203lbft (I think...will check) torque. Wayne said the intake changes make more of a difference on 3.2 engines and those with exhaust upgrades (I have standard manifolds and exhaust). The difference in drivability however is where its most noticeable, pulls harder low down and revs much faster. The 987 airbox also had the helmholtz resonator removed to make it fit so the induction sound is amazing. All in all I would have liked a bit more power (I'll wait for my exhaust to die) but drivability and sound make it worth while. The 987 airbox makes the most difference, MAF, TB and Plenum are nice to haves on a 2.7, might add a couple more ponies for larger engines with the exhaust mods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the engine is out it is possibly worth the effort, but still a lot of money for the gain. Getting a 3.2 is probably more cost effective and a lot simpler...

Its cheaper to get a 3.2 from the start but I was already a many £££ into refreshing the 2.7, so carried on spending 🤪 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phazed Posted April 11 Author Report Share Posted April 11 Just taken the plunge. Have removed the airbox, plenum, TB and tubing. Took about an hour. Saw a tip on the web to split the airbox down the seam and remove in two pieces, pretty easy. Now comes the hard bit. I assume that the near side inlet manifold needs to be removed and the fuel rail loosened.? Anything else? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sits very tight on the near side so I would imagine you'd need to remove the inlet manifolds or I have heard of people dropping the engine slightly.

phazed Posted April 11 Author Report Share Posted April 11 Any ideas where the best place to obtain the inlet manifold and oil cooler O rings? Also an AOS which I have decided to replace while I am down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 9 hours ago, phazed said: Any ideas where the best place to obtain the inlet manifold and oil cooler O rings? Also an AOS which I have decided to replace while I am down there. AOS is best from Porsche. Aftermarket ones have been found to be variable in life/quality. Porsche is probably the best bet for the O-rings too if you are getting the AOS at the same time. By the way the bottom spring clip for the AOS if you get one from Porsche it has a handy plastic catch keeping it open that you just pull out when you've got it to the correct position saves messing with long reach pliers. From parts cat: Pre '03 AOS 996 107 023 04 03 - AOS 996 107 026 01 The above both come with the bottom hose and its hose clamp on the AOS Bottom hose clamp 999 512 630 00 Inlet manifold to cylinder head O-rings 996 110 247 03 There are 3 different O-rings listed for the oil cooler and it totals 10 O-rings int eh listings but I can only see 8 positions, 4 above and 4 below the intermediate plate that sits under the oil cooler: 999 707 409 40 (2 off) 26 x 3mm 999 707 389 40 (4 off) 35 x 4mm 999 707 193 40 (4 off) 28 x 2.5mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I get to the helmholz resonator by just removing the airfilter? I'm assuming there's a hole through to a secondary chamber that just needs to be plugged. Don't want my helmholz resonating unduly.

phazed Posted April 12 Author Report Share Posted April 12 Will do. I will ask when they come back to me. I have inquired at Parr’s of Crawley. Nearest to me. I tried Design 911 late yesterday and they didn’t have any stock at all of anything that I wanted. Disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
