Product Information
Product Information

This Adapt Motorsport inlet manifold adapter kit with fuel rails enables Porsche engines with two-bolt cylinder heads to accept 996 GT3 intake manifolds during an EFI conversion. It is offered with 40mm or 42mm ports in an anodised black finish.

Fits:

  • Porsche 911 1974-1977 2.7L / 1976-77 3.0 Carrera
  • Porsche 911 1978-1983 3.0L / SC
  • Porsche 911 1984-1986 3.2L
  • Porsche 911 1987-1989 3.2L G50


What This Product Does

The six adapters provide the interface required between the earlier two-bolt cylinder heads and a 996 GT3 intake manifold. Each adapter is machined to the selected cylinder-head port diameter and tapers towards the manifold's 48mm bore.

The compact adapter height helps retain a low overall intake assembly, reducing potential interference between the idle-air control components, intake boot and engine-bay insulation. Injector positioning corresponds with the original CIS injector relief in the intake port, directing the fuel spray into the port when used with a compatible EFI installation.


Kit Contents

  • Six CNC-machined aluminium manifold adapters
  • Four fuel-rail spacer posts
  • Four bolts for standard full-length Bosch injectors
  • Twelve nuts and washers for the cylinder-head studs
  • Two fuel rails  


Functions

  • Adapts two-bolt Porsche 911 cylinder heads to 996 GT3 intake manifolds
  • Supports EFI conversion of compatible 2.7L, 3.0L and 3.2L engines
  • Provides mounting provisions for Adapt Motorsport fuel rails
  • Positions the injectors above the original CIS injector-port relief
  • Accommodates Bosch-type injectors with 14mm O-ring fittings
  • Maintains a compact intake assembly height


Technical Details

  • Available port diameters: 40mm or 42mm
  • Manifold-side bore: tapered to suit the 48mm 996 GT3 manifold bore
  • Material: precision CNC-machined high-grade aluminium
  • Finish: black anodised
  • Injector compatibility: Bosch 14mm O-ring fuel injectors
  • Marked fuel-rail spacers can be shortened for long, medium or short injector formats

Configurations are available as an adapter kit alone or with a fuel rail kit. For the adapter-only configuration, fuel rails are not supplied.


Parts Not Included

  • 996 GT3 intake manifolds
  • Rubber manifold joiners
  • Fuel injectors
  • Hose clamps


Why Replacement Matters

This kit is intended for planned EFI and intake-manifold conversions rather than replacement of a standard component. Correct port selection, injector sizing, fuel-system specification and engine-management calibration are required for a complete installation.

FAQs

  • Does the kit fit both available port sizes?
    Select either the 40mm or 42mm version to match the cylinder-head intake ports.
  • Are fuel injectors supplied?
    No. The adapters accept Bosch 14mm O-ring injectors, but the injectors must be selected separately.
  • Is the 996 GT3 manifold included?
    No. The intake manifolds, rubber joiners and associated hose clamps are not part of the adapter kit.
  • Can different injector lengths be used?
    The marked fuel-rail spacers can be cut to accommodate long, medium or short injector formats as required by the installation.
