Description

The 996 did not mark the beginning of a new Porsche chapter, it marked the beginning of a new Porsche book. The prolific 911 was baptized and emerged water cooled, leaving the legendary air cooled engine to live in Porsche history.

The total and complete redesign of the 911 engine was fitted with the vintage plastic "T" style air distributor that Porsche has used since the early 911 days. This intake system was found on virtually all 911 Carrera's until the arrival of the DFI cars in 2009.

The unique, innovative and patented design of the IPD Plenum employs a "Y" design that improves performance by channeling air left and right to the cylinder banks more efficiently. This design reduces air flow turbulence and increases air flow velocity resulting in substantial power gains throughout the entire rpm band.

The IPD Plenum not only delivers impressive power and torque increases but also creates a more linear power and torque band. Tiptronic customers even claim considerable improvements with more positive shifting after installing the IPD Plenums.

 

The 996 3.6L X51 package was typically found on the "40th Anniversary" limited edition cars (MY 2004) but could also be special ordered by performance minded customers. The X51 engine package increased horsepower from the standard 316 up to 345.

The X51 Carrera's came equipped with a variety performance upgrades, both internally and externally, that made the cars very desirable for Porsche drivers looking for something closer to the GT3 experience.

The X51 engine package was blessed with many wonderful internal performance upgrades but Porsche still utilized the factory air distributor opening the door for the IPD Plenum to provide even more additional power.

The 996 X51 IPD Plenum is designed to use all the pre-existing factory hardware and OE 74mm throttle body. The revolutionary design of the IPD "Y" style Plenum increase horsepower by 24 and torque by 22 (at the wheels).

The X51 Plenum is a direct bolt on replacement and installation is relatively straight forward for mechanically inclined DIY customers although IPD strongly recommends all Plenum installations be performed by a trained and qualified Porsche technician.

Additional Info

Innovative Pro Design (IPD) was founded in 2004 by Mike "Turbo" Kirakosyan. The IPD Plenums were conceived, developed, tested, proven and manufactured in the heart of the Porsche Tuning capital, Southern California. The IPD plenums evolved from the age old hot rod philosophy of "never leave good enough alone". The genius behind the IPD Intake Plenums is not only the patented "Y" design but also the geometry of diversion areas, optimization of bore sizes and internal surface area manipulation.

Virtually all performance upgrades stem from man's innate and unstoppable quest for speed and power, and the IPD Plenums are no exception. Turbo Mike's "Need for Speed" is embedded in his DNA. His relentless pursuit of performance extends well beyond the Plenums. Mike is an accomplished fabricator, engine builder, tuner and all around Porsche expert.

Back in 2000 Mike's personal 3.8 liter Porsche Twin Turbo was a daily driver developing over 1000 horsepower (at the flywheel) and capable of unheard of acceleration Watch the Video. This car was the test mule for all initial plenum designs and performed over 1000 dyno pulls during it's extensive developmental process.

Mike's continual quest for more power combined with his passion for Porsches have yielded the ultimate Porsche performance upgrade, the IPD Intake Plenum. Mike spends endless hours on the dyno continually testing, tuning, modifying and retesting each plenum model until the perfect plenum design is achieved for each specific Porsche model.

Plenum-with-Castings_smEarly implementation of diversion splitters were cast and polished then installed inside the OE factory Porsche air distributor. These early "shoe horned" splitters yielded power gains but still required a larger opening near the throttle body for optimum performance. This is where today's single cast and machined IPD Plenum really performs and warranted a patent design.

Top-View-of-Plenums_smAlthough the concept of the patented "Y" design plenum appears simple and straight forward there is a science behind the diversion areas and optimization of volumetric efficiencies. It's only after countless prototypes and endless hours of dyno testing that an actual Plenum design is put into production.

The entire IPD team is dedicated to providing the absolute best after market performance products for Porsche. IPD stands behind each and every plenum and our promised power claims with a 100% money back guarantee if not completely satisfied after 30 days.

We back up our dyno proven performance claims with honest, knowledgeable and friendly service. So many manufacturers inflate their performance gains with questionable and unqualified dynos. We only advertise performance gains that we can consistently replicate and promise will be realized on our customer cars.

DFI-Plenum-Installed-01_smIPD has substantially expanded its product range over the years and will continue to maintain this growth with new and innovative products. Even the current existing IPD product line, now covering more than 60 Porsche applications, under goes continual scrutiny and fine tuning improvements.

All of IPD Plenums will continue to come standard with customer satisfaction guaranteed, No dreaded check engine lights or warranty voiding issues and most important, impressive performance gains sure to make any Porsche driving enthusiast smile.
