Thanks for watching this new series. I love a good challenge👍 and this is once again new territory for me. I listed all the components used in this video's description. You can check out the PMO EFI kit on Pelican Parts online too. Wish me luck 🙏
How I love a project that is continuously evolving, and where the tasks is described in separate videos. It is very exciting and You are very capable of describing the work steps. I am looking forward to follow this next journey. Thank You.
Man, this is GREAT information! I think a great deal of it will be helpful in my EFI upgrades to the V12. Looking forward to more. This will be a great series and thanks so much for going into great detail. Awesome stuff here.
I really need to consider doing this. I have a twin plug 3.6 with 50mm PMO carbs that makes lots of power but suffers from that 2800-3000 rpm stumble. Maybe in a few years it'll be EFI and never look back. Could sell the carbs to offset some of the cost.
Cool, EFI let's you control air fuel ratio everywhere so stumbles are a thing of the past. I'm going to sell my Motronic EFI to offset a big chunk of the cost too.
Hey Tom. Great stuff . I’m also taking notes and plan on doing something similar to a 2.8 build. One question though. Who did you purchase the emtron sl6 from with the porsche base map preloaded? Thanks!
Awesome. Thanks. Planning this for the fall. I just sent parts out to machine shops. So doing the base engine first. A complete fresh build. I email you about more details as i get closer to gathering everything. Cheers!
Woah, full effort EFI conversion here! Having done an EFI conversion myself, I know it's no easy undertaking. Why the choice of Emtron, may I ask? I'm originally from Oz, and they are a new one to me... So many options these days. Will you change the 3.2's rods if you swap the cams?
Please help if you can. I agree this is not easy, but nothing I've done on this car is easy, sheet metal mods, chassis strengthening, trans rebuild, paint, wiring, ha ha. Why are so many standalone ECU companies in Australia? You guys love EFI! Emtron is a more affordable Motec with better support. A few so cal tuners know it well and that is why I chose it. Maxxecu is another street grade ECU that I considered. Yes, I will replace the rods. The question is will I replace the crank and oil pump at the same time?
@@GarageTimeAutoResto I'm not sure how I can help, but feel free to pick my brains. My project is still not even fully complete! (Still waiting on my garage so I can proceed.) BUT, it starts and idles really nicely with a ~14.5 AFR, even in cold weather. OEM like. That took some time, but I learnt a lot in the process, and that was part of my ambition. Emtron sounds great and I'll definitely keep that in mind for the future. If you replace the rods, crank and oil pump then you've just about achieved the holy grail of N/A EFI conversions for this car 🙂
I should gain 15 or so horsepower and torque, but will see on the dyno. The big improvement will come after I change the camshafts. The stock bosch AFM (Air Flow Module) can't handle many good camshaft designs, but these PMO EFI throttle bodies can. Hope to be close to 300 HP soon. Here are the cost breaksdowns ua-cam.com/video/VGXdMM1qnV0/v-deo.htmlsi=yLMDI2nFt3hLIeTL
Question: I have a 1999 996 with a M97 3.8l 2007 model engine running on a 996 ECU. The performance is inadequate on rpm and top speed and I am interested to see if its possible to upgrade the ECU or a standalone computer plus wiring harness as an alternative to replacing the engine to the original M96 engine (I have one on hand). Which is the easier route. Replacing the engine will cost about 10k, but I can sell the M97 engine for about the same price. Do you have any input to the best option?
My guess is the newer engine needs a better tune before it damages itself. A standalone ECU will allow someone to get the maximum performance out of that engine. Do you have to pass emissions test? If so then the original engine might be the only option?
Recent sub here. I have seen or scanned all the videos on Mac 3.2. What a great project. Do you have a video describing your background or how you learned the skills to do the work on this car. Is this really a DIY type of project or are you a Porsche mechanic in sheep's clothing. LOL.
Welcome here. I learn by doing, that's it. I've been interested in cars and mechanical things since I was a little kid. I talk about it a little in this video: ua-cam.com/video/gsSw2V_lvpE/v-deo.html
@@GarageTimeAutoResto Very cool video. It was well done. What resources do you consult to learn what you need to work on the cars? I would love to work on my own Porsche too (once I buy one that is) but I would be afraid of making a costly mistake.
Don't be afraid, it's just a car. This is the best time to start as the information age is in full swing. Read as much as possible on forums, Facebook, UA-cam and then compare with the factory workshop manuals. The manuals are great, but they aren't detailed enough for a beginner, but the information is considered the best. Oh and learn by doing. Reading alone will get you nowhere. Join our Patreon group. We talk about each other's projects every Monday.

Thanks, it's all about the journey and tinkering for me. This should keep me busy for a while. First start video coming soon

Thanks Jeff, there's a lot to learn but I'll share as much as I can.
This is so cool. Looking forward to the completion.
Holy Crap!!
So educational. Keep it comin'!
For sure!
More power is always better... Would you provide a complete breakdown of costs of all parts involved to get it finished?
Yep, I put everything in the description. I'll add everything up, but it's not cheap. I'll report back later.
Here's the cost breakdown in video form

Tom that looks like an amazing setup on that 3.2...looking forward to hearing that fire up!
Thank you, will try soon.
Tom - Following and taking notes. Your detail is excellent! Keep up the good work. I'll be following in your footsteps in the future! Thank you!
Great to hear, I hope to help.
YES!!! I like it! The only thing you need now is a Bursch exhaust system. I can't wait to see and hear you crank it the first time....
Good idea on the exhaust. First start coming.
All i can say Tom is WOW!
You do great work, I enjoy your videos.
I appreciate that!
Right on, been looking forward to this!!
Thx me too!
what a tease! Can't believe you didn't fire it up for us! 🤣
Ha ha, I wish I was teasing.
Hell yes; it's going to be bitchin!
💯
Hey Tom. Great stuff . I’m also taking notes and plan on doing something similar to a 2.8 build. One question though. Who did you purchase the emtron sl6 from with the porsche base map preloaded? Thanks!
Awesome, contact me via email if you want to compare notes. BBI for the SL6

Nice. Thanks for sharing. No TPS sensor?
It does, it's on the 4,5,6 throttle body. See 15:30
@@GarageTimeAutoResto Thanks. I apologize.
No worries, lots of people skip around on my videos because they are very detailed.
Love it!! Do you know if available for Porsche 356 engine??
I heard that it's coming.

Good upgrade, something to keep in mind. How much extra torque and hp do you expect to get? It would also be nice to know total cost, if possible

@@GarageTimeAutoResto "its just a car". LOL, and expensive one. I did join the Patreon group and look forward to learning from the group.
Thanks, I'm leaving tomorrow for two weeks to Greenland, so the Monday call will resume when I get back. I'll email you a link.
does it comes with air filters?
Yes
