    Ecotek Valves

    erm.....a breather filter is a filter that you put over your breather pipes....thats all. Its not even remotely the same.

    Dump Valve For A 172/182

    Put very very simply. Ecotek makes a hiss because as Jones said, its air being sucked in. Its not that there is a vacuum inside the inlet manifold, but that there is a lower relative pressure than outside it, and air flows from high to low pressure. On an NA car there is always 14.7lbs of...

    that goes for any box though? no racing box would have 4 gears.

    Wheels - Gay or Hardcore - part deux

    Just cant get myself to like the actual wheel. Apart from that, the whole theme is good.

    valver gearbox problem!

    If you can only get it in reverse then it might just be a selector/linkage problem. And since the clutch is soft, im not sure youve done that properly either. really cant say though.

    brake fluid

    argh!!! i tell people not to get 5.1 and they get it.......i use castrol response super DOT 4, best stuff out there. But lately i think they have been cheating, the fluid is a clear lavender, but lately its been plain amber......hmmmmm. DO T 5.1 needs chaning more often than dot...

    Ecotec valve on CUP! Definatley faster

    thats because the valve works on manifold vacuum when your off the throttle. And ill say it once more.....the engine DOESNT inject fuel when your off the throttle and above 1500rpm.

    Kevlar brake pads

    unless you use anti-squeel backing.

    Best Induction Kit

    no.....2 live simply commented that there is no loss of BHP between viper on and with no filter assembly on at all. Fair enough. I jsut eleborated and said that with no filter on you will loose power with the bonnet temps as induction temps jump by over 100%.

    Magnex problem - Maybe.....

    Dont think he was talking about blowing, but changing to a silicone that doesn hard o2 sensors.

    R5 turbo engine

    Just the same as any GTT conversion to a mk1 clio.

    Best Induction Kit

    With the bonnet closed though you will, as i have tested, loss over 10-12bhp through induction temps.

    Ecotec valve on CUP! Definatley faster

    Its a spring loaded plastic valve....thats it......take yours apart and have a look. the manufacturers could come up with a solenoid controled valve to get round the patent.

    Ecotec valve on CUP! Definatley faster

    In truth, what do the people at magazines really know. The people who do know anything about cars, especially enough to make money out of them, are NOT sitting writing about them. They are builing them.

    swapping 15 rims for 16 =’s less diamet

    ok, i think your getting me muddled up lol. I know they use it for looks, but im talking from a pure performance point of view. Larger wheels can loose you performance. And when i talk about on the limit handling, im not talking about speed. Im talking about the edge which you teeter...

    Ecotec valve on CUP! Definatley faster

    Nope, we dont believe what we read hence why we dont believe that it works. Ive been over the theory a billion times, and delved quite deep. The person who wrote that article hasnt got a clue about how and ecotek works, if it works.....and all that babble about swirl and better fuel...

    our sort of cars are..........all small hatchbacks.

    oil leak, camshaft seals.....!

    The mechanic most probably pushed the cam seal all the way back in its seat, instead of leaving it flush with the head face and having a space behind the seal.

    brake servo line yes. And how the hell does it work on a turbo car...theres no vacuum to open it!

    Magnex problem - Maybe.....

    I was thinking the sensor is damaged aswell. Could be inappropriate handling or a silicone that isnt O2 sensor safe. The 10 second search cycle only makes me thing its the lambda even more.

    swapping 15 rims for 16 =’s less diamet

    If you have a 15" wheel and tyre, and a 16" wheel and tyre, both using the same tyre and same width, but a different aspect ratio....the 15" tyre will still take less energy to spin. why? Orientation of the masses.......simple. 15" tyres also make our sort of cars much easier to deal...

    Oil in bad place

    you dont need to replace the bolts...its an unstressed part. Also check with the edge of a steel rule and use a feeler gauge to check if its warped.

    Oil in bad place

    most likely the cover, and its no major issue. Just replace the gasket and all should be fine.

    AIR INTAKE PIPE ON MK172.

    Yup.....off it goes! If you can be arsed, unscrew the mech part off the tube assembly and leave it plugged in so the ECU thinks its still there.
