    you mean from the flexi rubber part near the axle pivot point to the rear calipers are rubber!?

    172 and 182 engine difference

    no, i come from china and there is no way that i will trust them to build quality.......only quantity.

    172 and 182 engine difference

    I'm not doubting you understand basic economics, i'm doubting just how much you understand in terms of the way I and my company deals with its own design products. I do not do gash, half arsed, bodged or even 'good' jobs. I only use the best, and the best costs. Sure i could flog out a manifold...

    yes, moreso than if you ran a 182 manifold.

    double clutching,

    i dont double de clutch as its not neccasary unless popping into first, the box copes fine with simple heel&toe. And to note, i have never changed a clutch on any of my private cars. Both of my cars have clutches that are on their last legs and i've been driving it like so for the last...

    The designs your quoting such as DC sports, skunk 2, mugen, spoon yadda yadda yadda, are not small exhaust operations, but large companies that own and run whole exhuast manufacturing factories for every japanese sports and non sports model under the sun. Natural economies of scale means a...

    172 and 182 engine difference

    The manifold will be configured for the most appropriate and common applications, namely stock rpm region use. Anybody who is wishing for a manifold configured for higher rpm band use will be far a few between therefore cost isnt such an issue for someone seeking each percetage gain. The...

    172 and 182 engine difference

    we'd need orders in the region of 10 and price would be circa £600-680 depending on what the group concensus was regarding material and the amount of detail put into it. There is good, and then there is AWT anally good.......price reflects quality obviously.

    We have 2 designs already for stock type and higher rpm engines. They are 2 peice and will mean that the subframe does not have to be dropped, significantly reducing labour costs. Which pretty much makes up for the additional cost of the significantly better designed 4-2-1 manifold from us...

    VVT Solenoid plunger wiring

    both? There is only one vvt plunger, it is supplied with a constant switched live, and the ECU just drops the earth at the determined moment, thus the plunger opens the oil galley thorugh the camshaft.

    The lines on the rear axle AFT of the lines you replace are solid steel, and thus better than any stainless braided hoses anyway.

    VVT Solenoid plunger wiring

    The ECU will drop the earth, not suppy a 12v feed, it cant handle the current. The original 12v feed on the car is the pink one iirc.

    Remap questions

    raised limiters, as stated, are usefull for holding a gear during a corner rather than shifting mid corner, or short shifting before the corner. whats so hard to believe, every power graph will explain. I notice you have a valver, and not a 172/182 which has the vvt retarded at 6800rpm.

    they do sound harsh at high rpm.

    Bilstein Original Dampers

    IIRC the dampers are inserts and not direct replacements on road cars. When i was looking at having cup racer inserts used they would have to have a road going strut made up to mount to the stock hub.

    Remap questions

    a good driver will be able to feel when torque drops off and you should shift up, so your correct laingo.

    Remap questions

    yes, it will drop you back into a positing high in the powerband. But thats where looking at something wholistically is better than with tunnel vision. When dealing with accelerationg you have to look at the ratio of bhp gain upto peak bhp, and the ratio of bhp loss after peak power. If...

    bloody well should be for the price! lol nice one.

    Remap questions

    but your also got that much less use of a building torque curve than before. Shift early and your on a raising torque curve, shift late and your on a declining one.
  22. BenR

    Remap questions

    Remapping itself serves the only purpose of smoothing out the torque curve and bumping it up a few lb.ft, there are no large extra strains and the engine gearbox can take much more than a remap can hand out, so you should have no worries there. The RPM limit on the other hand is an area of...

    you work in a refinery? Do they still use Heptane and iso-octane in the research engines?

    Has my coil gone? 172

    you might want to check someone elses leads on your car before you decide its the leads, and they dont really fail too often.

    V-power 99ron

    Because avgas is designed to run airplanes with ultra low RPM engines, its no good in high rpm high dynamic CR performance engines. Which again is one reason why advertised RON rating means very little.
