Ruf RGT wing/airbox issue on 996
Cleonard replied to Cleonard's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Ok, as luck would have it... I found my solution on Ebay. Anyone know who makes this? It will place the filter right under my decklid intake. It has shields on the side, but I could still build a box around it if necessary. BTW, I emailed the guy and bought it early. I told him I needed this and was in dire straights. :) Colby

Ruf RGT wing/airbox issue on 996

Yeah, I just looked at the engine bay pic of a GT3 on Ebay. That is the airbox my decklid is set up for, and there is no way it would work. It would fit ok, but there is no way I could plumb it up to my intake manifold. So now I either 1) call the guy and get my $$ back (he said it would work on all 996's), but I've already had it painted which sucks, or 2) order the right decklid (more $ plus it would also have to be painted), or 3) I make a custom airbox. Option 3 seems the most appealing as I could easily build an aluminum box with a hose that goes in w/ a cone filter attached. I then could seal that against the top of the decklid. Or I could make a box with a flat filter and lid, and have a hole in the lid that matches the decklid hole. <sigh>...why can't things ever just go as planned! Arrggh. Colby I don't see any way, it's a different engine, intake, MAF, etc. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> -

Ok, crap. That's the problem; I bought this from a guy who had an actual RGT. It was a 2001 I believe (not '02 or later as I also got his front bumper and it fits my '99 just fine). The air intake is right above the airbox, not beside the fan like on yours. Would a GT3 airbox fit a '99 996?

Does anyone have a Ruf RGT wing/decklid on their 996? If so, I need pics of what to do with the airbox. The fan is relocated to where the air intake used to be, and there is a square in the decklid right above the airbox. But I believe this is the clean side, so I can't just cut a hole in the airbox lid. Is there a new airbox to go with this decklid? Better yet, anyone got a pic of a RGT engine bay? Right now I just have the snorkel that goes from the decklid to the airbox removed. Engine bay temps are usually close to ambient from what I recall reading, so I shouldn't be sucking in hot air, right? Thanks in advance. Colby
