The Fab Factory Manifold review

[martymil]

So I got this little silver baby in the mail the other day and immediately started
to plan how I'm going to install this great piece of art in my engine bay

It took quite some time and a lot of late nights working on it but the results speak for them selves.

I think it turned out brilliant and I really took my time to plan and clean the engine bay
up and hide the wiring and plumbing that I physically could.

I'll have dyno figures and logs for you guys hopefully by the weekend.

Looks pretty badass!

[1and1]

Would love to see some more engine bay pics if you have 'em...
That's once smexy looking setup you've got there, lots of tucking going on!

[martymil]

Ill post up some later and some videos if i can

Shawn knows his sh*t. His quality is second to none.

As you can see nothing in the tune was changed

[Brule]

What is the other more horizontal set of lines?
Scaled boost or torque?

[martymil]

Dyno newtons a measure of tractive effort

Far more precise in my books

Here is a better pic

More outstanding work to get that FF working with twin turbos, Marty.
That engine bay is so well organised.

Your 1M would have to be one of the most consistent and well setup cars in regard to tune in the country, and probably a whole lot further. Run after run is predictable....40 back to back runs on the dyno last week showed that.

The improvement in mid range power and torque with the FF manifold can really be felt on the road and now the dyno proves the driving impressions to be correct.

[martymil]

Adjusted the flash for new manifold still need to do a little more tweaking

[martymil]

still a bit of work to do

[Digitalism]

Wow! That engine bay looks awesome.

[Orangee94]

that engine bay is saying "come at me rb26 and 2jz i got some bling too"

[martymil]

That manifold is to sexy to be hidden under the hood.

hmm plexi glass bonnet lol

[Prolifik]

Would of thought you'd be alot higher then 350kw with all your mods...
Didnt you have turbos and ethonol?

[135i2]

He's making a consistent 350rwkw on straight 98 only with old basic RBs.

Thought your goal with the 1M was to keep the engine bay as stock as possible?

[martymil]

Was till i saw this manifold and just had to have one

Once ceramic coated in black dissipation coating and the filter box gets done and hide some more stuff it should be good

Im glad i got this manifold such a huge difference in power and smoithness and dont have to worry about splitting the plastic manifold again

[totti84]

Manifold looks amazing, but all those welds in the charge pipe are quite hideous IMO

[martymil]

Agreed its a prototype, the productiin one is going to be better

The problem is getting 1.25D 3 inch 90 deg bends

If youu can get them, very expensive, you can get them in stainless so im in the process of maybe getting stainless throttle body adapters

Its all about cost

Oh yeah! The filters.. do they sit under the manifold?
