alright so im about to order my manifold for my setup. im leaning towards ordering a love-fab mini-me. for those who have it or those who know about it, is it any good does it give problems (pros - cons)? im going to be running a t3\t4 hybrid turbonetics turbo. ohh also for those who have where did you get your down pipe from?

thanx alot guys....

 

Pros: Makes real nice power
Cons: Prone to cracking, heat issues


More or less every manifold has these issues or vis versa

 

I do like the fact it's a top mount. If you're looking in that direction, you might also check out the pfab.

 

Good luck finding one

 

i have that mani for 1 year, i made 306 whp at 3.5 PSI ( GT30r ) with my first setup. now i'm making way more power then that.


Pros: Again, nice power, oil filter relocation not requiere, easy installation.

cons, battery relocation, fuse relocation, ( temp coating is a must with this mani ) turbo blanket + heat shield is a must too.

to prevent the cranking all you have to do is get a GOOD welder to fabricate supporting brackets.

 

S2guru hit the nail on the head. It makes great power per psi, and is less prone to cracking than the larger tubulars like the lovefab gt1 and the full race. It's small, short, and to the point. I wouldn't rather have any other manifold.

 

which is better the lov fab or pfab top mount tubular manifold?

 

I'm not that sure but I think they are of a similar design. I know that the Lovefab one isn't made anymore and is hard to get and more expensive. The Pfab might be a nice alternative.

 

i have the pfab it works well just have to deal with the heat issues i only have wrap on it i gotta buy more heat products because my fuse box is melting away

 

PFAB is straight log, so cylinders 1 and 4 fire directly at each other.
Not the best for a 9000 rpm motor, but spools fast as hell.

Lovefab is a log but goes to a collector therefore not firing directly at each other.

I am going to be designing some newer turbo manifold in the near future.
