ku engineering FFIM

[GOBABYGO]

Hi guys, I m new on supramania, this is my first post, I was doing tons of research instead of asking a 1000 of alredy answerd questions, so I had no posts on my user.

To make a long story short I have a 87 turbo with 137 000 km on it, only basic mods::nono:

- 3" stainless tubo back exaust with custom elbow and hi-flow cat.
- manual boost controler set at 10psi + boost gauge
- head was retorqued with stock studs as described in sogi webpage
- self made cold air intake with hks filter
- battery relocated to trunk
- eibach springs and koni yellow shocks
- 18" wheels with 265/35/18 front and 275/35/18 rear

My question is about the FFIM found on ebay from ku engineering
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...30266222095&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:MOTORS:1123

What do you guys think about it ??? I foud no coments on it.

P.S.

i have never seen one in person but i would look at some of the people here on SM that custom make manifolds. i got one from sethron71 it turned out awesome.. i Ron R does very impressive work i am considering getting one from him whenever i build another 7m.

i don't care for the way the runner's come off the plenum.i just bought a manifold that came from across the pond and it need's some work.it's not really ready to bolt on at all.i had to modify my fuel rail bracket's to get them to fit,even the stock rail wouldn't fit.wish i bought something different from a reputable shop or tried to build my own.

I'm glad you're a newb that actually knows how to use the search engine. As far as that FFIM goes, it looks nice, but I have never seen it on any Supra. Although this is the better deal. Ron Ramirez builds very, very nice FFIM's. This is also cheaper too (allowing for the extra money to be spent on other mods).

I paid less then 1k for the ffim seth built me with csi/isc flange, alt relocation bracket and a TB.

Spent less than $1K to get one from Seth with ISC and CSI flanges too. It bolted right onto the head with no modifications.
Its probably a better idea to get one from Ron or anybody else that has more of a reputation.

That ebay manifold has issues IIRC...

Think it hits the brake booster.

^ that what i all wasy thought


you should prove that it don't fit and buy one i will donate 1 buck to your cause

I am going to be blunt,

Ron R FFIM manifold are the standard which all the rest are measured against. It is a tough hill to climb as Ron does lots of little attention to details which makes his FFIM more than worth the asking price IF he is taking orders.
