Speedy Intake - Build Modern Lightweight Intake for Classic Porsche964

[@63swbfj45]

So much of this presentation separates you from the other 99% of us. Autocad work, printing, testing, lathe work, engineering, partnerships for prototyping etc.. Impressive and while haters will hate, you should be extremely proud - this is great work! (not a fan of the rock music during x3 speed/assembly, however).

[@islandworks]

Thank you for the nice comment. I have also come to realize that rock and x3 is not the best combo ;-)

[@bernardmauge8613]

This is who I want to be in my next life. Bravo!!

[@islandworks]

That’s a great comment. Happy to inspire!

[@fonseymarv6438]

I have my 911 G body waiting to be built, setting my garage to do this exact same thing. You are an inspiration, not only as a fellow engineer but as a car enthusiast willing to push the envelope on current hobby technologies. Sending much love and appreciation from Los Angeles, CA.

[@JamieBainbridge]

Wow, you're really good at 3D design. I got into 3D printing for a couple of years and built some stuff with OpenSCAD so I know a little bit about it. The way you did the angled injector bosses and integrated the original aircool seal was next level.

[@islandworks]

3D printing started out as a little side project and is now something I use for tools, boxes, fixes and whatever. It’s great!

[@garysamuels8069]

Attention to detail is exquisite, I have officially stopped all my 964 engine upgrade plans until you finish !

[@islandworks]

I will try to speed up as much as I can to finish then ;-)

Thanks and really looking forward to the first crank!

[@jibmaster]

Take my money! Your channel is great! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. That carbon GT3 intake is incredible! Nice work. I've had 4 air-cooled cars, and I recently bought a 1990 C4 964. Recent top end down. Runs strong. Hopefully starting a refresh on the suspension and leaky oil cooler lines next year. Greetings from the Pacific NW, USA.

[@polloloci21]

Holy crap man- how is gas this channel not exploded!!

[@wordsofmyhands]

Nicely done! I want this intake so bad for my 964! Can't wait to hear that motor fire up.

[@islandworks]

Me to! I hope the rest of the build goes just as well!

[@jetjox2000]

Wondering how the torque/hp curve will change over the stock with this gt3 intake swap..

I just came across your channel. I love these kinds of detailed informatic videos, yours are probably the best on youtube (doing Porsche). This is Gold

[@islandworks]

It’s golden to be able to play with my car. I just wish there was more time for the fun!

[@timburton1080]

Should sound great too!

[@IanOberhotlzer]

For the throttle body adapter, go for something like nylon if you print to test, the materials you mentioned are high temp but will distort / melt with fuel exposure ( it will get some from waves pulsing fuel back up the intake )

[@islandworks]

Nowadays it’s made out of a nylon version with some additives for rigidity during higher temps.

[@RJD2809]

Great episode. very clear

[@islandworks]

Thanks!

[@charliewolf7500]

Correction, a narrowband Sensor can only measure Rich and Lean. It is not sensitive enough to measure an exact Stoichiometric condition. If you look at the voltage output of a Narrowband Sensor, it constantly flickers between 0.1 and 1.0 Volts, viewed graphically it looks very similar to an ECG of a heartbeat. Wideband Sensors are far more advanced, accurate , can measure a Stoichiometric condition as well as indicating how rich or lean the engine is running. Thank you for entertaining and sharing.

[@islandworks]

Yes this is correct and I tried to explain the general principle. To get anything good for tuning a proper wide band sensor is the best. In my updated engine I’m going for dual units with one on each header.

[@bisondacierr]

Amazing "episode"! Sounds super easy when you explain it. Crazy how much more complex 964s were compared to 993s, forgot 996...

[@islandworks]

Yes now it’s a lot simpler. They were also bound a by having to have some extra emissions features. But really the electric throttle enables a lot of simplification.

[@p3yro]

Next level. Great channel

Thanks Nick!

[@ranga2050]

This is super cool... I'd b cautious about a serial system... Subaru owners will tell you how that can end.

[@islandworks]

Thank you! What would you be cautious about? With good sizing and dual lambdas the pressure loss should be very low and on top of that compensation from the lambdas.

[@ranga2050]

@@islandworks 4cyl Subarus have a nasty habit of leaning out on the last cylinder in the chain, and being overly rich on the first. The 6cyls run parallel 'dead head' rails which seemingly entirely avoids this problem

[@ranga2050]

I don't know how this interacts with a high-powered fuel pump, but I'd be concerned that the drop is always going to be a percentage across the length of the feed, and I'm developing something of a theory around pressure wave timing from the injector pulses.

[@islandworks]

I had a look at it just now and I know what you mean. If the flow at high power required through the lines is high enough to cause a pressure drop the last cylinder will get less fuel through the injector and could run lean. In the Subaru the lines seem to be very small and I can see this happening. You would have this in any engine is the sizing of the rails is not enough at the flow you are at. Think about a straight 8 which typically runs 1 rail sized for the application. In my case the connecting line between is an AN8 and with dual lambdas as well as I have a fuel pressure sensor. I believe this will run well, and if not the sensors will tell me I have a sizing issue ;-)

[@ranga2050]

@@islandworks if you install extra bungs you can put the sensors in the first and last cylinder primaries to double check. And you're right. Subaru fuel lines typically are around 6mm ID. It's made me super cautious either way... I don't build single bank engines, but the longest chain I'd want on a rail would be 4cyl if I did.

[@capetowner1967]

Awesome work & vid! My engine needs to be rebuild sometime soon (185k KM so far) and I would love to have something like your build in my car. I look forward to learning if it works as well as it looks and if you will be selling the parts later to other 964 enthusiats.

[@islandworks]

This part has been in my thoughts for quite some time. Felt good to finally knock it out 👍🏻

[@oddcarsandbaddecisions]

Jag älskar din arbetet!

[@islandworks]

Jag med :-)

[@doingcarthings]

Looks great! I've been considering some of the ITB kits out there - this has the potential of being a low cost alternative. So the future ECU state for this is speed density with no Mass Air meter? Nice!

[@islandworks]

Yes the concept you use is the manifold pressure together with the throttle position. You also run it with feedback from a wide band lambda.

[@doingcarthings]

@@islandworks I'd consider it if the costs are far less than ITBs. I already have a 996 GT3 intake in anticipation of piecing together an ITB setup but this is very intriguing!

[@islandworks]

Doing Car Things ok got it, I would not expect this to be cheaper than ITB, just different technology with the pros and cons as you usually get with different things.

[@doingcarthings]

@@islandworks Darn - I was hoping that with the commercially available throttle body and intake adapters, that I could save some money. I'll keep watching!

[@grantgrant77]

Hi. I’m very interested to know how they made those carbon intake manifolds. Are you able to share any information?

[@rijadkukaj2681]

That's a volume airflow meter, not mass airflow meter. :)

[@islandworks]

I agree. Often referred to as air flow meter rather than MAF.

I am fascinated with your 3-D printing capabilities I am building a 4 Cylinder 911 engine and I need assistance or would like to know or get help with my intake system this is something you're willing to assist me on please feel free to give me a check back thank you i enjoyed watching your build

[@islandworks]

Send me a mail via my home page please islandworks.one

[@mikkokiviniemi7767]

Interesting setup. I have not seen anybody run gt3 intake with single throttle on a 963/993. Do you have any info on how does it compare to itb setup with gt3 intake on top?

[@islandworks]

The idle is always always complicated on a highly tuned 964/993 engine. With this setup it will be much smoother and the car becomes more drivable. I have a friend that tunes a lot of these engines and he did one recently with great results saying “electric throttle is the way to go”.

[@xile_hc]

Awesome

[@R0yL33]

There are complete composite intakes right down to the flange. Do those motors running hotter than most?

[@islandworks]

There are intake runners down towards the cylinder heads that are connected with rubber boots.

[@wshatila]

beautiful. what about hp gains with this drop in weight? any idea?

[@islandworks]

I’ll do some deep dive testing later on. The biggest thing is the simplicity and the drivability you get with an aggressively tuned engine and an electric throttle body.

[@wshatila]

Island Works Sweden love your work! Not looking for a track car myself but there’s a lot I see myself doing to shed weight and improve drivability. Can’t wait to see the end result.

[@nakamichipanasonic2140]

I am watching and wondering ...is this video just a posing video or you really cut only one side of resonance valve's tube. This valve must stay right in the middle between two plenums to separate volume in two equal parts. You cut one side and now the valve is off center - so now one side is less volume, than other, different resonance, different torque curve, different everything in low to mid rpm before the valve opens... Very sad

[@islandworks]

That’s what you get when you reuse other parts. The new one I use nowadays is made from scratch with the valve in the middle. Different volumes is not necessarily bad though as it distributes the effect. You test and see ;-)
