Throttle Body / Plenum Chamber
Convert the 964/993 induction to Drive by Wire set-up
Fits:
Porsche 964 - 1989 to 1993
Porsche 993 - 1994 to 1998
Product Overview:
Transform your Porsche 964's performance with this sleek and high-tech intake kit designed for Porsche 964/993. This innovation marks a transition from the typical accelerator cable-based throttle to an electronic "drive by wire" throttle body. This advanced change streamlines the intake system by eliminating unnecessary components, resulting in a cleaner engine bay appearance.
This modification offers a more drivable setup for highly tuned engines while incorporating the precision of a drive by wire (DBW) throttle.
This enhanced drivability is a key feature for a tuned aircooled engine and allows for smooth idle control with a cold as well as a hot engine. It simply makes the engine feel more modern as compared to the old ITB (individual throttle bodies) setups lacking in mid range torque and difficulties with the idle control.
Precision-Engineered Components:
- 82mm Throttle Body with Reinforced Industrial PA12 Manifold
- CNC-Milled Intake Manifold Stacks Crafted from Billet Aluminium
- Included Rubber Boots and Clamps for Easy Installation
- Islandworks Resonance Tube with Valve and Solenoid, Manufactured from the Same PA12 Material
- Integrated Manifold Pressure and Temperature Sensors
- Essential Vacuum Lines for Optimal Performance
Kit Includes
Complete intake with all the parts seen in the image manufactured from modified PA12 using an industrial process. This intake plenum has been optimized to fit on a Porsche 964 or Porsche 993 and includes all vacuum ports for both brake vacuum and to maneuver the resonance flap.
The following parts will be reused from the 964 intake:
- Rubber boots and clamps
- Vacuum reservoir
- The aluminum or plastic plenums
- Resonance flap
- Actuator and shaft
Note: the aluminum or plastic intake plenum is not included in the kit and neither are any of the items specifically listed as excluded above.

What This Product Does
This conversion package uses large-volume 996 GT3-style intake hardware as the basis of an electronic throttle system for classic Porsche flat-six turbocharged engines. It combines the throttle body, fuel rails, intake adapters, resonance-flap hardware, pressure and temperature sensing, vacuum controls and associated fittings required to assemble the intake system.
Functions
- Controls intake airflow through a Bosch electronic throttle body
- Adapts GT3-style intake hardware to compatible air-cooled Porsche cylinder heads
- Supports long, medium or short EV14-style fuel injectors through configurable fuel-rail spacers
- Operates the resonance flap using a vacuum canister, solenoid and check valve
- Provides connections for brake-booster vacuum, idle-air bypass and other vacuum requirements
- Measures manifold pressure and intake-air temperature through a Bosch T-MAP sensor
Technical Details
- Based around 996 GT3-style intake manifolds with 49mm ports; the manufacturer lists 43mm for a standard 964 manifold and 39mm for a 3.2 manifold
- Bosch 82mm electronic throttle body supplied with connector kit
- Bosch 1.15-bar T-MAP sensor supplied as standard; a 3.0-bar version is offered as an option
- Three-bolt adapters are available with 42mm or 44mm ports for 964 and 993 turbo engines
- Adapt Motorsport manifolds are cast aluminium, while the resonance flap and intake T-piece are CNC-machined and black anodised
Base Kit Contents
- Adapt Motorsport high-flow intake T-piece with vacuum and T-MAP sensor ports
- Fuel-rail kit with fittings

Configuration Information
Versions are available with or without a pair of Adapt Motorsport GT3 intake manifolds. Select the correct cylinder-head bolt pattern, adapter port diameter and manifold configuration for the engine. The optional cast-aluminium manifolds are designed around the shorter cylinder spacing of air-cooled Porsche 911 engines and include vacuum ports and discreet mounting points for wiring and control components.
FAQs
- Is the electronic throttle body included? Yes. Every base kit includes a Bosch 82mm electronic throttle body and its connector kit.
- Are GT3 intake manifolds supplied? This depends on the chosen configuration. Versions are available both with and without a pair of Adapt Motorsport manifolds.
- Which injector lengths are supported? The configurable fuel-rail spacers accommodate long, medium and short EV14-style injectors.
- Which cylinder-head patterns are covered? Two-bolt configurations suit 2.7, 3.0 and 3.2 engines, while three-bolt configurations are intended for 964 and 993 3.6 engines.
Check fitment for your specific vehicle, engine, cylinder-head pattern and required port diameter before ordering.

Throttle Bodies & Plenum Chambers – Engine Breathing Precision for Porsche Performance
Throttle bodies and plenum chambers are critical components of your Porsche’s air intake system. Together, they regulate and distribute airflow entering the engine, directly influencing throttle response, torque, and overall driving performance. The throttle body controls how much air enters the intake manifold, while the plenum chamber ensures balanced air delivery to all cylinders — maintaining consistent power and efficiency across the rev range.
At Design911, we supply a complete range of genuine and high-quality throttle bodies and plenum chambers for Porsche models like 911, Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, Macan, and Panamera models. Each unit is precision-engineered for smooth airflow, accurate response, and long-term reliability, keeping your Porsche performing at its best.
What Do Throttle Bodies & Plenum Chambers Do?
These components are essential for efficient engine
breathing and performance tuning. Their key functions include:
- Controlling
airflow entering the engine for precise throttle response.
- Optimising
air distribution to each cylinder for smooth, balanced power.
- Improving
combustion efficiency and engine performance.
- Supporting enhanced torque and acceleration in naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines.
In performance models, upgraded throttle bodies and plenum chambers can increase air volume and flow efficiency — unlocking additional horsepower and sharper throttle control.
Why Do Throttle Bodies & Plenum Chambers Fail?
Over time, these components can experience wear,
contamination, or mechanical issues due to harsh operating conditions. Common
causes of failure include:
- Carbon
buildup or dirt affecting airflow and throttle operation.
- Electronic
faults in the throttle actuator or position sensor.
- Air
leaks from worn seals or cracked housings.
- Heat
damage or corrosion in the plenum chamber.
- Mechanical sticking of the throttle plate or linkage.
Symptoms of failure include rough idle, reduced acceleration, check engine light warnings, poor throttle response, or inconsistent idle speed.
Why Replace Faulty Throttle Bodies or Plenum Chambers?
A damaged or restricted throttle body or plenum chamber can significantly reduce engine performance and responsiveness. Replacing these components restores precise airflow control, smooth throttle transitions, and optimal fuel efficiency.
Benefits of replacement include:
- Restored engine power and responsiveness.
- Improved air distribution and combustion efficiency.
- Smoother idling and better fuel economy.
- Long-term reliability with manufacturer-quality precision.
All throttle bodies and plenum chambers available from Design911 are built using advanced materials, high-precision machining, and corrosion-resistant finishes — ensuring dependable performance and durability in every Porsche application.
