ebay ffim (greddy copy)??for 2jzgte

[danameisgee]

i have a 89 supra with a 2jzgte i wanna get a ffrim and dont have that much $$ to get one custom made. so i seen a few ffim on ebay that looks like the greddy one Driftmotion.com is selling them to for less then $300 do you think it fits/works?

Ok...and?

someone toed me that some ffim dont fit the ma70 supra witha 2jzgte.

Dunno, I was under the impression that a couple of 2JZ-GTE motors came stock with an FFIM, that is a front facing intake manifold. Come to think of it, I guess all of them did.

The 2JZ-GE did not.

If you don't have that much coin, why not use the stocker? Something is missing from this discussion, making it make absalutely no sense.

i know the 2jzgte come with a ffm but i want a aftermarket ffim am asking if anyone used a ebay ffim?

How much HP are you running? The stock one is good to 500whp+. I've seen some guys running over 1000 on the stock one.

The general consensus on sf (from what I have read) is that unless you are over 900whp or have a show car, you should stick with the stocker.

Also consider that the chinese knock-offs of the GReddy cast oil pans for the Nissans,
have a HUGE problem with:
Porus castings that leak.
Holes that are not lined up correctly,
Machined surfaces that are not flat.

IMO, $300 is about $295 too much for that type of problem............

Not to mention that buying knockoffs destroys the tuner market. Why do you think trust co jpn went bankrupt?

I really don't get this. The OEM is more than adequate. If it's the shiny bling you like, then get your stock one polished ??? If its the shape/design you like, then wutever it's your car but I will :thumbdown:thumbdown:thumbdown everytime I hear or see about it because it really is pointless.

Overpriced, antiquated and laggy turbo setups that not many people wanted to shell out the cash for? I know that if I am going to pay 6k for a 67mm turbo setup, it better be at least be top of the line technology.

But this is not what the thread is about.

Like I said earlier, stock manifold unless you are going to push a shit ton of whp or want a show car.

actually the stock one is good for wayyyy more than that.

at 2K9 jessica barton made 1100whp with the stock intake manifold.

If you want a nice FFIM contact a vendor on the fourm and support a supra guy not some eghey DB ... Thats just my opinion.
