only the exhaust port, 182 CNC'ing on the inlet gets better, but exhaust gets teeny weeny.
BUt thye do have the 4-2-1 manifold which rapes the 4-1 on 172's.
I'd drain the oil, stick in some mineral oil and thrash it for 1000 miles then go back to semi or fully synth. The oil they stick in from factory isnt the best for running an engine in on.....its too good.
you will have to get an ally flange made and tig some runner sections to it with a larger enough taper to run from the ITB bore size to the head port shape.
Cams for the F4R are ground to specific timing lications relative to the cam alignment tools used as you cannot dial in a F4R cam in the traditional manner due to the cam bearings being part of the cam cover.....which is a pain, so you just have to grind them perfect straight off.
PM me for...
Yup, i have a range of cams available for most renaults.
One of my new design cams pushed 181lbs.ft at 4500rpm on a 172 about 2 weeks ago, only 2 sets running around in the country at the moment. Are prooving to work extreemly well.
You can get surprising power out of the 1.4, but it isnt by any means 'cheap'.
But i offer gasflowed cylinder heads, manifolds, throttle body, cams, remap etc etc.
We cna knock you up to 120-130bhp easily enough.
Spend some time with someone who REALLY knows how to setup a chassis, more often than not the fact that you have coilovers doesnt mean it'll handle at all.
I've looked into it comprehensively, and the option is always there for people, its not a problem to do, however its far from cheap.
Firstly Jackson Racing offer kits to solve every peice of the equation, they started and sole mainly in these kits, hence they have MASSIVE purchasing power...
£5k wont get you much in the way of a worthwhile turbo conversion, but it will get you a very nice NA engine.
I would jump straight to 2ltr first, and fettle with that, 1.8's are far too limited unless your prepared to re-engineer the engine at rather large cost.
I've got a few tricks up...
On a 172 to run carbs you'll need a slightly inlet manifold to fit DCOE's, then you'll need AT LEAST a set of 45's which arent cheap new and not really available s/h as the factory has been on strike for a couple years and jsut started production again.
You will need to use the std ECU to...
All you had to do was ask ;)
i can tell you about the different options for every engine and the performance effects.
There are a few combinations for each engine, but invariably the best solutions which give the best power cost the most.
Gains on a stock 1.8's arent great for the...
Sadly it wouldnt work either then.
The turrets only provide a point to hold the damper top, so forces on it are off the compression of the damper only. The clio uses radius arms/trailing arms so all the forces are transferred to the torsion beam axle, which is bolted to the shell underneath.
