I tend to think that the k-tec new product idea (which isn't new nor theirs by the way) or a typhoon CAI all the way down to the fog light work good. My vote goes to the filter behind the head unit though. On a dyno day there were two 182 that with only decat and CAI made 186 and 190...

My old 172 with Engine Dynamics cams, 182 mani and decat made 192.5 hps (167.5 whp). Alhtough I fancy trying the k-tec new concept, albeit using my own materials. This was with the once famous Espace V6 airbox and piper filter from JMS

Hi mate, if you want to turbo I wouldn't bother with cams. there is someone from Brazil here with a turbo K4M, he may give further counseling.

Your C&B cams are actually more agressive than 438 and even 421 duration and lift wise

I had this, was the brake contactor which was broken, brake lights worked but the ESP/Serv light came constantly on on motorways and the CC was out of order, new contactor cured the problem.

Hi Aydon, car is 63,000 miles

Thanks Andy, but my engine is in very good shape, I wouldn't touch the bores if no need. but I wonder if it is recommended. thanks for the input :)

I am resurrecting this all topic of mine... Just to see how much more data I can gather... To make it more interesting I have this new question. If the block and sleeves are in good shape, do I need to regrind them or I can be safe by just putting the new pistons/rings... what other things would...

It will if you modify the flange on a k4m. I have seen a 172 mani reworked at fit successfully.

I used to own the 13th; and, as much as the british community don't like it, it is as exclusive, if not more, than the 500 samples edition UK got, and as equally rare as the 50 left hand drive samples for the swiss market. whether or not it had the sachs suspension it really doesn't matter, only...

This is myth, just B.S talking IMO

The 182 is the best cat, so good it makes no difference to a decat, is metalic and far less restrictive. Either 172 cats are far from being an upgrade. 182's or leave it alone.

Hola Julian, en realidad las butacas era un un Trophy, segun tengo entendido en Renault Mexico se consiguen pero son muy caros :(. Tuve suerte de conseguir estos.

Just srpings, although the rears are springs with levers from a KW v2 set, but shocks are OEM.

Thanks! what I like about the exhaust is the sound, but I take it is not that pretty as none have liked :P The dial came with a complete set of silver dials, I just cut off the rev counter and paste it. Sometimes this dial kits are more like sticker with tranparent pieces for lighting the...
