RESULTS - Fab Factory Billet Intake Manifold vs. Stock IM

[A4RingedONE8T]

Thank you to @martymil for providing us our first back to back results, stock vs our N54 Port Injection Billet Intake Manifold on a 1M!

First dyno is a direct swap of intake manifolds, absolutely NO changes except for intake manifolds

And with a few flash tweaks/minor retune

All comments/discussion welcomed!

Logs

Before - stock IM
After - FF IM, no tuning changes, only manifold/chargepipe
Tuned - basic reflash with FF IM

Less power??

 

[A4RingedONE8T]

Less power??

All the other intake manifolds

Red lines on both graphs, before with stock IM. Blue lines after FF manifold install, first graph no tuning changes, second graph with tuning, no boost change. HP and torque both up. Look at the plots and the area between the red and the blue, that's your gain. I believe my manifold is the only one actually gaining anything on it's own. Roughly 20hp on a 400hp car. Add more power/boost and see what happens, for example, Tony's N54 record 910wtq through my intake manifold.

Nice improvements. I'm sure ported intake runners and larger turbos make up for that drop at the very top. For stock turbos this shows a significant increase in air flow.

 

[Twisted Tuning]

Nice gains under the curve. @A4RingedONE8T don't worry about people saying "less power" was made. Most people only focus on peak power and don't realize that the areas under the curve Are just as, if not more important than the peak power

This a stock turbo(s) car?

 

[Derek@MoorePerformance]

Definitely got get one of those sexy manifolds <3

 

[brocke]

Its running rb classics

Our aussie dynos read a lot lower so around 400+rwk on american dynos

The car ran 11.8s@121 mph on 98ron pump gas or your equivalent is 95ron at the local dragway on a stock manifold and before the coils where done, should be little faster now

What charge pipe are you using?

What charge pipe are you using?

+1

Does this manifold come with a charge pipe or do you have to fab your own?

 

[Erichale77]

You have to fab your own

 

[brocke]

He had to make his own but he will be selling them soon

 

[JuniorB]

How is the new intake being aluminium,holding the heat? Do you feel the air intake would be hotter on the intake? It's nice tho,over the design

 

[morffius]

Is this the same one that is on alibaba?

 

[The Convert]

Is this the same one that is on alibaba?

Link? And the answer would be no. They make it in house.

[Erichale77]

Not like that at all. The FabFactory mani is in a league of its own. Every part of its construction is specifically designed and not just thrown together.

Do you have eyes?

 

[E92 420]

Seriously. It's nothing like the one on alibaba

 

[brocke]

That doesnt look anything like it.

The alibaba one would make an good ornamental doorstop
