Who wants a JDMFabtech Intake Mani? Steve and I do! - Serious Interest Only

All right folks, opportunity is knocking. You should really answer the door.

Steve (exturbo6) and I are working with Gerry (02fpcivic) at JDM Fabtech and are each going to buy a top-mount turbo manifold to hot glue on to our boosted D17s (bolts are for suckas). The more folks who order one at the same time, the lower (within reason) the price gets.

"But 'foos. Why should I care?"

I knew you'd ask that question. Because you have a boosted Civic and don't want to use the crappy, poorly designed plastic intake manifold that Corky the Honda Design Tech decided was a good idea to use on the 7th gen. Go the website (www.jdmfabtech.com) and look at the pieces. Look at pictures of Justin's (boilermaker1), Andy's (andyman97) and Gerry's cars. This is good quality kit.

"But 'foos. I don't have that kind of money."

That's OK, as long as that sentence is followed by a "Yet." You've got some time to give blood, sell that extra kidney you're been hanging on to, and who really needs 10 toes AND 10 fingers anyway? Superfluous meat if you ask me.

We're looking at getting this going near the end of January, early February so if you want to buy one then, you've got some time to scrape together some cash. The way it works it half to Gerry up front and the other half when he's done (estimated about 3 weeks) to finish the deal and ship your intake mani.

Steve and I are doing this regardless of who else hops on this bandwagon. It's an individual effort that Steve let me know about, but there's an opportunity for other folks to benefit from it as well. Here is your chance to get a quality intake manifold for less than what you'd pay for it going to Gerry by yourself.

Serious inquiries only. You've got to pay to play with the D17, we all know that. Post your questions here or in PM to Steve or me, but keep in mind we're just customers here.

Re: JDMFabtech Intake Mani Group Buy - Serious Interest Only

by top-mount, you mean the TB will still sit on top so I can use my current IC piping? and will it accommodate a larger TB as well?

good info for those wanting to build their motor to go with it...

Re: JDMFabtech Intake Mani Group Buy - Serious Interest Only

Yeah Tony, by top-mount meaning your current IC piping should fit just fine. I'm getting a straight-up D17 flange put on mine, but I imagine you can get a standard upgraded 60mm Honda TB flange put on if you wanted. Since it's a completely custom, fabricated manifold, you have some leeway.

If you're serious about it, it's something we can definitely ask Gerry. I don't want to bombard him with a ton of questions here and there which is why I made this thread. To consolidate the questions and get the folks who are serious about doing this.

I just put up most of car audio stuff on to Ebay that I was going to install on my car. That will pay for half or more of my intake. Maybe all of it if I sell everything.

Re: JDMFabtech Intake Mani Group Buy - Serious Interest Only

Yep. That's why I want one. And that nagging little detail that a plastic mani can't reliably hold much more than 10 psi...

Re: JDMFabtech Intake Mani Group Buy - Serious Interest Only

No group buy!!!!! I have the only one!!!!!
Oh well, I'll still have the only one. I've gone back and forth with gerry about tweaking it, so the original is mine and only mine suckas!!!
Just so y'all know.... it makes a whole bunch of power when you throw boost at it. Like.... drop the compression 1/2 a point and still make 8 HP more than stock bunches of more power, not to mention is makes getting bigger (longer) injectors in there a breeze. You'll have to redo your chargepipes though... and probably whack some hood frame out. Because it drops straight into the runners, it raises the plane of the throttle quite a bit.

You forgot to post the best pic

Re: JDMFabtech Intake Mani Group Buy - Serious Interest Only

My tuner claims he can do 200whp off 6lbs. We'll see how long that keeps me happy.

Re: Who wants a JDMFabtech Intake Mani? Steve and I do! - Serious Interest Only

I give it about 2-3 weeks. See there's almost like a second stage in the turbo you don't even find out about until it goes past 6.5 - 7psi. There's this psssssSSSSSSSSSSHHT that is really something else.

Good to know about the hood part Justin. Although I am leary about cutting pieces of my car off.....

Re: Who wants a JDMFabtech Intake Mani? Steve and I do! - Serious Interest Only

Tony, the fuel rail in that side mount (the square one) is Gerry's own fabricated fuel rail to run a return fuel setup on our cars. It's got ports on both sides to accommodate the inlet and return lines. The ones we're looking at getting are the top mount (rounded) ones. He's re-tooled the design a little apparently and there aren't any issues with the hood clearance or PS and AC lines like on Justin's version.

Re: Who wants a JDMFabtech Intake Mani? Steve and I do! - Serious Interest Only

No no no. You'll hear it at 6lbs. It does have a different sound at at higher pressures, but that's down to physics and pressure.

What I'm talking about is the sound of the compressor spooling up. It has (at least on my GT30) almost like a 2nd stage of spool where it goes psssssssssssshhhhhh(up to 6ish psi)SSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHT(above 6ish psi). This is accompanied by my ass getting pinned into the seat while the turbine throws gobs of air down the IM.

I'm sure anything is possibly if you have the money to pay for it. Is this a serious inquiry, because it probably won't be cheap if it is possible. Let me know, or just shoot him an email and ask.
