Plenum for Porsche 992 Turbo amp Carrera Better response over the entire powerband
Background
Upon launching the 992 generation Porsche had abandoned the naturally aspirated engine for the Carrera models From now on all 911s are turbocharged There are a few differences in between the Carrera and the Turbo models the displacement being the most obvious but they also share a lot of components Ð the plenum is one of them Throughout the entire development of the 992 products we had unlimited inhouse access to a 992 This way of procedure is how we always do it It allows us to test our theories prototypes and 3Dprints without hurdles or delays Wed like to think that this shows on the finished product Ð ultimately refined without compromise We are confident in what we have to offer the market
Development
With the starting point in a comprehensive 3Dscan of the engine bay to get the structural limitations we set to work With the experience we had from previous Porsche plenums we soon realized the need for a yjoint rather than the tshaped OE plenum From an airflow perspective the yshape is more efficient as it distributes the air more evenly and with less pressure drop We chose as usual to manufacture the plenum from cast aluminum as it allows for shapes that CNCmachining cannot replicate and to us function always conquers form Maximum airflow supersedes the bling factor
The do88 plenum
The plenum is designed with soft sweeping lines Radiuses and angles have been revised and reworked many times over The connections are CNCmachined and the plenum comes with suiting silicone hoses for optimum fitment and durability The improvement in airflow is verified using CFD Computer Flow Dynamics as well as in our Superflow SF1020 flow benchTaking away restrictions for the turbocharged air that reaches the inlet will provide better throttle response and performance gains all over the powerband
Key figures
More air to your engine less backpressure and better airflow
