Could you turn the intake elbow ~180 deg and use the original intake route through the deck lid?

Michael, CONGRATULATIONS!!! I have been following your build thread over on the LS1forum. You have done a fantastic job. I enjoy seeing how meticulous you are. I bought/rebuilt my first 996 after it had an engine fire. My current 996 had a dashboard fire, prior to my purchasing it. I know how exciting it is when your project fires up for the first time. Thanks for documenting your efforts. I am sure that your build thread will serve as a template for future builds.
Thank you also for your service.
""Very cool. But Porsche is a two syllable word. ;-) ""
When I met with my local Porsche President for the first time he informed me of this...
I replied with the notion that every club needs a hillbilly in it...
He laughed and now we always smile when we see each other at get togethers!
PS. Keep working on that build!!!
I don't know if this is possible. Could you turn the intake elbow ~180 deg and use the original intake route through the deck lid? Porsche has drain holes in the bottom of the air cleaner. So even with that you would have some exposure to warm engine compartment air.
Two more of my first's attempts at Video's. What a GEEK!

Where are you located? Looks like you need an in house fabricator to make you some stuff. I'm that kind of guy. I'll TIG up anything you can imagine...
[QUOTE=33jacket;11724718]you still wouldn't have driven a porsche
True, I'm gonna have to find someone to trade for a couple hours, any volunteers? LOL!
Benton, Louisiana, just about 5m from Shreveport.
I'd like to redesign the intake after I get all the other bugs worked out. Maybe some sort of a T split to cold air sort of ????
Yeah...I'm outside Atlanta. I actually used to live in New Orleans years back. I've been building custom cars for some time now...actually built several GTM's and other kit based cars. Now I'm mostly Corvette and BMW's. Looking to buy a 996 for discover and hacking purposes...like yourself...lol.
Yeah...a nice exhaust, custom intake...maybe out of carbon even. Could do a one off out of foam, then overlay it in carbon, melt the foam out, etc. Custom exhaust though would be nice. I've done some aluminum exhausts that hold up quite well, you just have to backpurge them well and get really good weld quality and material.
I like the project though...hearing a Porsche with an LS3 is crazy...lol. What you have to trade for some fabwork? You have any considerations on scheme...custom wrap, anything like that? Roll cage?
