Click here for info at Enjuku.



I emailed Enjuku and asked who the manufacturer was on this manifold. This was their reply.

The name of the product line is Turbo Fab and is produced by a local machine shop. We will be offering MazWorx turbo manifolds fairly soon which will have better quality welding on the manifold. If you have any other questions about the strength and design of the manifold, let me know since we are using one on our drift car.

Is Turbo Fab any way related to OBX ? Or is this a better piece. Anyone using this manifold ?

Pic from the site you suggested.

There's that damn blue leather couch again. That pic is used on alot of the SS Autochrome auctions on Ebay.

Are all these manifolds the same, and being sold under different names or what ?

Looking at both pics, it's clear that they are different manifolds.

They have different exhaust port flanges. The Enjuku tubing has visable weld seams, while the other does not.

I emailed Enjuku again requesting additional info. I'll post it up when I get a reply.

Got a reply from Enjuku. Here it is -

It is not related to OBX or SS Autochrome. the turbo material is of mild steel and the pretty beefy. I do not have my caliper measure so I cannot measure the thickness at this time. TurboFab the product line of a local race shop that is building the manifolds for us.

As I mentioned before, it is on our drift car, so it has been through some serious abuse. It has been on the car for 1 month so far. It will see 8hrs of track time this weekend and I will let you know how it holds up. We do not have any concerns at all about the manifold. The thing about the std steel material is that it is much less likely to crack wen compared to stainless. The same thing goes for when comparing a log manifold to an equal length manifold.

This manifold was originally designed to be used with a Precision T3/T04 SC50 series turbo. Some other manufacturers may have a slight difference in turbine housing and may need to have the O2 housing slightly modified. Other than that, it is a great setup.

*EDIT*

Nevermind. There was a miscomunication. Enjuku thought I was asking about the log manifold they sell.

The stainless manifold they sell is indeed a OBX unit.
