But they are talking about a poxy exhaust you bolt onto a clio....no manifold changes, no altering of exhaust routing, length, silencer position etc etc. Mass manufacture, off the shelf exhausts are never going to be great........why? Because the mass market only look at one thing....price...

It will drive fine one remapped, and if you sort out the idle speed via the ECU aswell as possibly adjusting the throttle stop, then you should have no issues apart from a slightly higher idle speed. However you wont be gaining that much bhp in comparison to the amount of torque lost sub...

you will be able to drive it on a stock ECU, under normal conditions.

That is for electronic throttles yes. However you have an idle control valve on your car which will suffer similar issues. If you really must run them then you can adjust the throttle stop so the throttle is a tiny bit open all the time, then try reduce this amount a little at a time until...

Cetainly dont let me stop you. Your main problem is that alluminium is used primarily as a heat sink due to its thermal properties, everything from aircooled engines to computer chip heat sinks, and its efficiency can be seen by just how hot and how fast a processor chip can overheat and...

I'm on the corner of Brook road, same road as Geoffs.

You wont be close to 200 with just cams.

1/2 a ltr wont do that. if you worried, just undo the sump plug a little and let the excess drain out. If it was serviced a short while ago, why waste the money?

still aint no stroked 2j ;)

No problem, I was pretty knackered aswell so just wanted to go home. Speak tomorrow.

Cambelt will cost you about £300+vat if you go to someone who can do it quickly, you'll probably want to put on a new aux belt whilst your at it though as it has to come off anyway.

OEM is just original equipment manufacturer, so the stock ecu. There is a point where the stock ECU can no longer run the engine over its entire operating range, and this is typically once you exceed a valve overlap value or change the induction method. A standalone then is require, not...

Can be the oil pressure warning switch or the hot viscosity of your oil as Ditz pointed out. Try a oil swap with something on a 50.

pointless. When you look at the ex port size for the majority of the late 172/182's then you'll see that going bigger isnt the straight foreward solution.

Its not used too often as outboard injectors have their own issues with throttle control and low rpm use and part throttle use at low rpm. They are mostly used on the likes of formula engines, superbike engines, dedicated 9000+rpm race engines etc. On upto 9000rpm use engines they can...

TBH, i've seen the majority of 4-1's on 172's make more torque for the same modifications as 182's, i wouldnt get too hung up on which manifold makes more power and which is more applicable to generate torque vs power.

It is a method employed yes, but people dont normally go through the effort of cooling the fuel itself.

They just run outboard injectors. For high RPM use they offer better homogenity and cooling effects. You also have packaging issues.

with it physically not plugged in, unless blocked it'll just be an air leak and idle speed will be high.

Depends mostly on a gauge of the manifold, the material and the fuel/spec of the engine. You cant get too hot on most engines as EGT's will just melt the valves, so inconel has to be used. Even so, you wont get truely transparent, it'll just become white hot. On top fuel nitro burners the...

Turbos utilise the energy in exhaust gas, so they will do lol.

Yes, but for £660+vat a new ecu will not just bolt in and work. There will be a whole list of sub systems that will not work. Standalones are really only designed to run the engine, where OEM ECU's have a whole host of other duties. And IMO, if your not modifying your engine to a state where...

Freds in the right area, with EGT's reaching 800-900 deg the manifold is only going to get that hot with or without air flowing over it.

just go standalone and keep it simple.

Gates manufacture the highest quality belts available, and thus are used for most manufacturers as OEM. Unless details are published about comp or racing cambelts, then the likelyhood is that they are gates belts anyway. If they really are contructed differently and stronger, the...

start off soft and work your way upto 80% max braking performance by the 10th stop. It will feel like its fading on the 7th-8th run. let it cool fully and do the same again. at no point come to a complete stop using the front brakes.

Does anybody think this arguement is new? Its been around for years. I think most of the E marked ECU's are only so due to type approval for OEM use, i think. It all gets blown up occasionally when someone does recieve a enquiry from the police or they want to push a competitive...

bingo bango!
