Will the stock 3.6 intake clear a closed stock engine lid with cross brace?
“Asking for a friend.” Actually I need to know so that I can make a GT lid with a lightened cross brace or one with the brace removed for a 914 with a 3.6. Thanks Sergio The GT engine lid whisperer |

Thanks Sergio The GT engine lid whisperer I have a GT lid on mine and that fits just fine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I'd say a stock lid without the rain tray should work. I did remove some plastic from the throttle body crosspiece that connects the two intakes so i could rotate the TB downward a bit and added a custom elbow for the air filter to get it all fit in there snug.   |

I was able to fit the 3.6 intake under the stock lid, so the GT lid should work fine.

As you can see from my pics above that small rubber elbow is the highest point on my engine setup and that is the only piece i'd be worried about hitting the engine lid.
I think i actually cut a section of the cross brace from my GT lid but i'm not sure that was really needed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) PS: I can go down to the garage later and take some pics and measurements |

After rotating the intake on my early 993 build, the stock engine lid fit fine.
