Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I understand that this can all be used on the 996 3.6 but does anyone know if it can be used on the 3.4L?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was wondering if there was any usefullness to the leftover bits from the 997S 3.8s that add the X51 package... The metal Throttle Body and Intake Manifolds, headers, valve covers and valve heads. I understand that this can all be used on the 996 3.6 but does anyone know if it can be used on the 3.4L? First question for discussion is if it fits on the 3.6 and 3.4 and secondly if these yield any HP increases? If they fit on the 3.4 for my use and yield no power then I would consider them as a source of cheap cores to have the intake manifold ported and polished and the valve head P&P as well... etc. Anyone have any insight on this. My sources can only confirm that this stuff works on the 996 3.6... really trying to find out if it works on the 3.4. Thanks...just a crazy Friday idea on building up an engine the old school way. -Paul

POST 2Original post

Paul, You and I must be thinking the same thing. If no one else bids....for $200 I'll find out.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

hahaha yup.

POST 4Original post

Paul, I just got off the phone with a mechanic that I trust at the local Porsche dealer. He told me that it would fit the 3.6 not the 3.4....sorry. I'm glad to know that I wasn't the only one with the same idea. Our stock manifold is a disposable piece of plastic....it almost would have been worth it just for the improved appearance.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I guess nothing from the 3.6/3.8 is useable on the 3.4.... headers, intake mfs, etc. oh well. coulda used the cores.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
