Creating a turbo manifold isn’t THAT hard but creating one that doesn’t fall to pieces in harsh motorsport conditions is a different story. In this episode, we sit down with @FullRaceTurbo's founder, Geoff Raicer — someone who understands turbocharger and manifold development better than most and is more than happy to share what he’s learnt... plus a whole lot more.
Full Race has been around for a long time and has always been known for building some of the best turbo manifolds and turbo kits available — primarily for the Honda, Mitsubishi, and Nissan markets. Geoff and Full Race were even instrumental in bringing Borg Warner’s line of EFR turbochargers to the aftermarket and yet, despite that successful history, you won’t find a single fabricated exhaust manifold for sale on Full Race’s shop these days — so what happened?
In this episode, we chart Geoff’s journey towards founding Full Race just as the modified import scene began to explode, how his business evolved through some challenging years, and what it’s morphed into today — a very different beast from its early days.
This is a fascinating story that saw Geoff and his team pivot in an interesting direction during the 2008 financial crisis, involving themselves directly with Borg Warner and later Ford in the development and testing of the 2.3 inline-four and 3.5 V6 EcoBoost engines years before the public saw them. This relationship has continued and we now see a completely different Full Race that puts the majority of its eggs in the Ford basket, pumping out some of the best Raptor 3.5-litre Ecoboost go-fast parts seen anywhere in the world.
This episode touches on a wide range of subjects that touches on a wide range of subjects — from the limitations faced by Geoff in the early days of turbocharging, to the secrets to building manifolds that don’t fail, to some seriously technical discussions around turbochargers, working with OEMs, the ins and outs of Ford’s EcoBoost 3.5 litre V6, plus a whole lot more.
