Porsche 911 engine design
WE REQUIRE ONE WEEK OF ADVANCED NOTICE PRIOR TO ANY VISIT TO OUR FACILITY. Raby and his team proved the type 4 could both provide performance and longevity, even rivaling six cylinder aircooled 911s of the time. With over two decades of intense development and application our efforts with the 914 engine have been recognized world wide, the 914 is no longer the “Black Sheep”.Ī target of scorn, the type 4 engine was the “black sheep” of the industry, ignored and misunderstood until Aircooled Technology, headed up by Jake Raby and a team of innovative hard-chargers changed its image. We have applied the things we have learned while recreating the former “Black sheep” Porsche 914 engine to our Boxster and 996 (M96) program. When embarking upon our quest for a more highly developed variant of the Porsche 914 engine over two decades ago, our response was the same. Raby Enterprises and Aircooled Technology was established in 1992, offering services for aircooled Flat six engines, and specializing in the Type 4 engine, used in the Porsche 914, the air-cooled, mid-engine predecessor of the Porsche Boxster. Contact us for specific details, and schedule availability. These “Certified Installers” can be found listed at Never trust an imitator, always choose the originators. If you don’t have a desire for our level of service, or don’t wish to wait, never fear, we’ve trained technicians across the US and Canada, as well as abroad. Its during these times that 100% of the effort of all our staff, and facility are focused on IMS Solution preventative procedures. With our focus being primarily engine development, and building during the remainder of the year, these IMS Solution Clinics fill quickly, and are typically booked 6 months to 1 year in advance. During our “IMS Solution Clinics” that occur semi- annually each March, and November we schedule vehicles back to back to have our version of the procedure applied. Today we are very selective with the vehicles that we offer our IMS Solution services for. We’ve written the directives, created the processes, and authored the resource materials used by other facilities, and stolen by the imitators. Holding a total of four US Patents for IMS Bearing related products, tools, and procedures proves this. Due to this we have maintained our position at the top of the “IMS food chain” over many years. Here at Flat 6 we Invented the IMS Solution, developed the IMS Retrofit procedures, and spearheaded all things IMS.
