What airbox is that? Nice project! I also build a 182 look exhaust for my Clio.

My (best) solution for fitting ph1 airbox using silicone hoses. I have a bigger tb so stock ph1 hose does not fit on it. In this case I was forced to use a 70mm ID silicon elbow. Using just one the airbox fits very tight and I did not like that. Start searching the forums, but no solutions to...

He should really donate his car due to this!

I am running 300mm discs with the prototype brackets since many miles ago. Everything is spot on.

I would buy new brackets either from anodized aluminium or steel (painted)

Those not look great imho.

Painting on the aluminium is not that easy, you need epoxy primer, very clean surface (sandblasting will be better) and then some finish coats. But this will not prevent scratching where the bolt head came into contact with bracket and could cause the same issues. If yours are fine now and are...

This is how 182 look was done on my Clio. and the classic rust...

I don't have acces to a dyno run, as it was mapped remote. I could only see the afr from my car and the differences. In theory the ktec should run leaner. I bought and ph1 airbox, I will also test it.

After some talks with Chris from efi and some google searches, the best performance is at 12.8 to 13.5, but is a little risky to be in that range. Best safe output power is at 12.4 to 12.5. Running richer by only using another intake doesn't mean less air on the same injector duty cycle?

Thanks mate! Running stock cams with grp n timing. I would use 197 cams with same timing, but Chris could not help me at that moment. Untill turbo, it is great!

Transfagarasan trip done for this year :)

Not much of an upgrade, I've done 1500 miles running group N timing and there is quite an interesting setup. I've also installed and AFR meter to can watch a little how does the injectors and intake performs. I am running the stock air box with kn air filter and have a value of 12.5:1 on WOT...

I hate you:))

I am not using any camber bolts right now, so must be around -1.4 camber witg -2.5-2.6 caster

So after reading means -0.06' on each side.

Toe out means positive value? I see some -0.06 value om some 182 clios

Cheers mate! I will go around that value

New brakes and ready to test grp n timing:) Can anyone provide me a good setup for toe angle?

Some pics during the build. I make a custom press for main seal, hope it sits fine.

Sorry, but I did not understand.

Since the new engine went to another clio for another project, I replace all the seals on my current engine and with this I also replace the clutch and steering rack plus some other bits ready to be fitted with a fresh grp n timing setup. I have also add a custom 63mm exhaust system, trophy...

Hello, Can anyone please help me with something? I want to build with a friend a turbo 182 with around 300hp to can keep the stock gearbox. We choose after reading this topic and others the GT28RS. What is the best housing a/r for this application? .86? (or .64?) So I have to choose .86 housing...

Well, Chris gave me an map for group N to suit my modifications. I bought an ecu from here that is supposed to be for 197 cams in 172 engine, 7 deg advanced. The only thing I know for sure is that the map from Chris is genuine for group N on stock cams. This is why I really did not know what to...

For me is a little problem. I already have paid for a group n mapping at efi and for a 197 map also from efi. The 197 one is only inlet advanced. To pay another map is a little too much at this moment.

Bloke, since now you've done lots of group n engines and see dyno runs, whats your opinion on them compared to 197 cams? In terms of power and idle. I am asking because I have a pair of 197 cams and I need to remove the rocker cap for reseal. Cheers

Will grp n timing affect the reliability? I want to try it on my Clio and if it will run fine keep it as a daily car.

No

Hi bloke, Are 197 injectors a must for this application? I have a new set of OE 172 injectors and want to try group N timing and mapping. Thanks

The car was impressive even before grp N. Are you sure the map and timing before grp N was 100% stock? Are 197 injectors a must for this application?
