On another note the raspy tappy noise you can hear when you rev it is the cover on the engine cover where you open to put the oil in 😂 Least that's one of the noises sussed.

Leaving the car in till Monday lads. No real diagnosis yet. Even they agreed it sounds like the dephaser but since they done that with the belts it's onto the next thing. Won't know anything more till they've had a better look :( hope it's alright

Ha! Beat me to it Got the pipe today and seems to fit with the filter with a bit of persuasion not badly at all!. Shame the cars away getting looked at but I'll get a couple vids up when it's on. I'm running a standard exhaust at the moment so it'll be all induction noise :up:

Think someone mentioned a clip or button thing a couple pages back

Yeah I have. They sound ok. I keep going round in circles. They're more expensive as well according to the newer ones with flexy centre sections

Yeah I've had a look around but been doing a fair bit of homework and narrowed it down to these two. Just not wanting one ear bleedingly loud or overly droney on the motorway. I prefer the look of the ultra box etc but figure since it's 2.5 over a 2.25 system this will be a bit louder.

Forward me the info dude.. in the same boat lol

I know mate. Going in tomorrow afternoon. Fingers crossed

The filter came next day delivery qbut no pipe as of yet! Does the pipe going into the side of the airbox just pull out? I'll fit mine soon as it comes (if the cars not in the garage :()

Thanks mate. Will give that a bell to confirm. Hear nothing but good things about the old yozza What is louder between the ktr ultra or the ktr janspeed?

Thanks mate.. Luckily mine doesn't sound as bad as that but if it isnt to do with the new pully then god knows what it'll be. It's going back to rentec tomorrow so will see what the outcome is 😧

What was the verdict from your video?

Yup it's got fresh oil less than 200 miles ago and seems to be circulating. Will give the garage a call and try and get it in and report back

Yeah dephaser was done with the belts. Assuming it was done correctly at rentec which is a pretty reputable specialist up in Edinburgh. It sounds like a heat shield or what I thought was the plastic engine cover at first.. However the more I hear these engines idle on YouTube the more I think...

So this is a cold start. Sounds really tappy as certain revs as you can hear

The cars cold just now so could go start it up and make another video. They are usually pretty lumpy sounding at idle anyway though.

Mixed reviews lol :confused: I'm pretty sure it sounded the same before this to be honest. Will take it back to them anyway for my own piece of mind. They see their fair share of 182s! I know apologies for the video.. Just just a quick effort

I'm hoping the specialist and the dealer would of maybe pointed somthing out if it sounded out of the ordinary (both places gave the car a good once over) so hopefully me just being a nervous nelly :tongueout:

Hey guys, I've had the belts done and the dephaser done recently as well as a full service (renault sport specialist) . Also had it along to Main renault dealer for a health check. Cars got full service history sitting at 75k. This is the first clio 182 and in fact my first renault all...

So really this set up surpassed your expectations. Given the most recent graph showing up to 10bhp. Pretty decent gain for a £40 quid set up

Totally missed the power graphs on the original post! 😊

Yeah I Supose so... They did test the piper cross which has it's own heat shield and what I assume is still the standard air feeds so there should be no heat soak and it was still down on the original panel filter read out? The ktr set up like this suggest they get a few more horse power so...

So in other words it'll lose one or two of its horses with this kinda set up... The plus being it'll sound mental :smilingimp:

I'm guessing once you remove the air box the notorious acoustic valve will no longer come into play? On a another note does just fitting a decent panel filter and removing the acoustic valve not have a similar effect/sound to all this? Gonna experiment if the stuff comes today

This thread needs more videos :cool:

Well played sir! How or where did you get the polished manifold? Thinking of going down this colour coded shiney route myself now! Battery cover looks ace too

Ditto. Did you do that engine cover yourself?

I was looking at getting the ktec filter but £160 bucks :confused: Will give this thing a go see how it sounds. I bought it all last night :grin: Originally heard there was some itg thing or air box mod that was another option? Or could just stick a better panel filter in ?

I will try and aquire his number from somewhere. Anyone know what a rough cost is? I can have a custom one made from a very reputable place near me but it's in the region of £500... Much more than the ktr ones I mentioned :(

Is the standard air box easy enough to pop in and out?
