After a sick day yesterday, the blog is back up and ready to deliver
you more of what’s going on at Fluid MotorUnion HQ in Plainfield, IL.
Today we’ll be looking at a few different jobs that fall on either the ‘hot’ side of things, or the ‘cold’ side of things. First up, we’ll start with something hot. As we mentioned in a previous post, in order to deliver heat to the inside of the 993-swapped 911’s cabin, the fan has to push cool air through a special channel in the exhaust manifolds, where that air pulls heat from its surroundings before being piped forward towards the cabin. We’re working on finishing up this piping now that we have the main exhaust pieces in place (mainly that massive muffler). Either way, now that it’s in there for good, we’ve begun working on the pieces of pipe that come from the engine bay and split into two before entering the header. We’re constructing a custom aluminum brace to hold the pipe away from the muffler (to prevent vibration) while finishing the pipe itself. The trickiest part will be the Y-pipe where it splits from one to two, but it’s only “tricky” in the sense that it’ll require a bit more welding than other portions.
