THE FAB FACTORY MANIFOLD IS BACK!
As most all of you with a few years on this platform remember, Fab Factory made what was the most popular N54 intake manifold to date. Extremely beautiful, well designed, and backed up by results from our shop car (and others!). The problem was FF ended up closing its doors.
We kept in touch with Shawn over the years and bounced around the idea of bringing the manifold back to life, but nothing ever came of it. Finally, about 6 months ago Tony ran the idea of simply buying the rights from Shawn directly and taking over production of the manifold as a VTT product. Shawn liked the idea, we agreed on a price, and all the drawings/remaining parts were transferred to VTT. We worked very hard with our CNC manufacturer, sent them the full set of drawings as well as the extra manifold we have so they could begin doing a 100% faithful recreation of what FF had developed a few years back. To say it came out perfect is an understatement. We put it side by side with our original FF manifold, and it's every bit as beautiful (and functional!).
Some product details:
- Full billet production using aircraft 6061-T6, then tig welded, and anodized for good looks/resistance to corrosion
- Two -10ORB ports on the bottom, which allow you to run any of our -10ORB fittings from modular setups for PCV, vacuum needs
- Three 1/8”-27NPT ports to the top on production manifolds for easy access to manifold vacuum and boost reference
Pricing will be as Follows:
- Manifold with Fuel rail, gaskets, and all hardware - $1199
- Billet CNC throttle body adapter with single-piece silicone charge pipe with Map sensor adapter, and BOV flange $250
- US made DW 550cc injectors $300, 950cc injectors $750
- Plug, and Play extension harnesses for the throttle body, and map sensor $100 for both
- Injector Blanks for people wanting to run DI only $75 for a set of 6
- Complete Manifold/PI kit bundle $1700 (controller required, not included)
- Complete Manifold/DI only kit bundle $1500
- Complete Manifold/PI kit bundle with Billet VC $2650
- Complete Manifold/DI only kit bunch with Billet VC $2450
- Rough casting, no internal velocity stacks
- Limited vacuum options, have to drill/tap for large fittings
- Fuel rail under manifold for poor injection angle, difficult to work on
- $1500 no injectors, no additional parts at all +$300 over VTT/FF
- $2000 with injectors +$500 over VTT/FF
- $2350 with injectors, and charge pipe (no harnesses) +$650 over VTT/FF
We are waiting on the charge pipe, harnesses, etc. to be finished before can release them. Looking at a 60 day lead or so for complete packages to ship.
