Default FBM prototype Intake Manifold. Looks promising.

I haven't heard when it's coming out, but this thing looks pretty sick. I know they mostly do turbo setups, but I wonder what kind of increases it'll make all motor.

itll make some increases for all motor, but defantely not in top end. Youll gain some low range power. Need longer runners.

You have that backwards. Shorter runners = top end gains with losses down low (generally).

Fernando from Kings also said they're releasing a manifold at the beginning of the year. I foresee a FBM vs Kings battle.

Looks pretty sweet and all but I just don't think the gains will be worth dropping $700 for.. I'd rather just save a bit more for ITBs.

S2000 engines are already peaky, so runners this short would only be good for a boosted application,
well,,, my thoughts anyway.

True...but FMB and Kings will be in the $700ish range...Kinsler is rumored to be well above that. Rumors though.

Doesnt matter what it costs,
if it doesnt make power in the rpm range you want !
Big box plenums on short runners are ok for boost and or topend,
Not midrange drivability !

Not a rumor, Kinsler=Baller Manifold/ITB set you back triple the 700ish

Looks good for us turbo guys.

Moding a s2000 NA = waist of time and $$

~~~~...do you know what is the weight savings?
Probably my Lotus 7 will benefit as I like to "add lightness" bang for the buck.

Anyone knows where/who to contact the company?
