The OE Match venturi perfectly replicates the internal taper, contour, and surface finish of the original Porsche component. Its precision-machined dimensions ensure accurate airflow calibration and consistent response across all engine speeds.
• Diameter: 32 mm
• Function: Shapes and accelerates airflow through the carburetor venturi
• Fitment: Porsche 356 / 912 engines with Solex carburetors
• Position: Carburetor air intake throat
• Benefits: Restores original flow efficiency, enhances atomization, improves throttle response
• Installation: Press-fit into carburetor body; ensure correct orientation for airflow direction
Ideal for carburetor rebuilds, tuning, or period-correct restorations, this venturi restores authentic drivability, throttle smoothness, and performance efficiency in classic air-cooled Porsche engines.
Venturi inserts are critical for maintaining the proper airflow characteristics within the carburetor. Over time, the original funnels can suffer from corrosion, deformation, or buildup of carbon and fuel residue, leading to poor mixture quality and reduced performance.
Replace this part when:
• Performing a carburetor rebuild or tuning service
• The original venturi shows wear, pitting, or distortion
• Upgrading to restore original performance calibration
• Replacing damaged or missing venturi sleeves
Installing a new 32 mm Venturi Funnel ensures consistent airflow, crisp throttle response, and the precise carburetor performance your classic Porsche was engineered for.
