The A/C manifold is not a tuned, equal length manifold like the original design, right? Just wondering because runner 3 looks longer than runner 5 and has a few extra bends to get around the collector which would add head loss.
It's Love Fabs not Full Race lol.

OMG WTF am I thinking? Kids don't drink alcohol. I think I'm just going to edit that part out to save a little dignity.

yes that is correct. however, in defense of this manifold, here's what cody said in an email about equal length manifolds...

"The manifold is within 1" or so of equal length. The prototypes are always a little bit off so during final fixturing I should be able to get this very close to equal length. As far as power/spool differences, in my experience, the differences have to be 4-6" to have any negative impact. Even then, the impact is within 2-3%, and usually only designated to the upper RPM extremes. "

Is there going to be a run on these manifolds again? I'd like one with the turbo up further towards the front of the motor like I saw in one of those pics. Like this....



Please let me know if getting one of these is still possible.

If you don't mind a slight waiting period, we can build you the non AC version for the GB price. Please email me as I don't get to frequent the forums as much as I'd like. Also, if you're looking at the China manifolds, save yourself the installation time and manifold $. They will break.

I'm sure they'd use/offer any flange that you might need. You'd just have to specific during your ordering process.

Holy crap its cody! Damn man finally you are building nissan stuff. This man is amazing. He is one of the top manifold builders in the country. Just do a search for him on Honda-Tech and you will see guys. His work is top notch.

THUMBS UP TO LOVEFAB!!!!

Everybody had boners until they saw the price tag inflated about 75% from what was originally expected.

That manifold looks pretty crazy!

I actually had a full lovefab kit on my car everything was super quality. Seems expenisve but im sure its worth it for what it will gain.
