What have different people on here done for an after market induction set-up? Pics would be cool! ​Cheers

How much is there to be gained from running an electric PAS pump? On my race car we ran a saxo pas pump as there wasnt the option of running the standard 182 pump. It would be easier to use the standard pump now I'm changing to a 182 engine, but is there much to be gained from not running it...

Hi mate, Just sent you a PM, know just a bit about rallycross and I am local (ish). Can help you out. Cheers Hal

The key for a Clio I have has been lost. How straight forward is it to put a lock set in it, and to put a new barrel transponder to have it programmed to the ECU? Thanks for any advice? Cheers Hal

Hi all, About to tackle the wiring on the Rally car. Got a full standard loom, and want to take out all the stuff we don't need. Has anyone got wiring diagrams I could use please? Many thanks in advance Hal

You could fit harness eye plates though the floor.

Have seen a few people on here refurb headlights after they have gone cloudy. Please could somebody give me a quick run down of the process. Cheers, Hal

Quick one. If I had a 172 engine etc, what needs to be done to turn it into a 182? Is it just ecu and exhaust manifold? Many thanks in advance, Hal

I don't know how people are coming up with these crazy figures. When we built my rallycross car the inlet cost less than two grand with ecu, jenveys, trumpets, linkage, bigger injectors, manifold air box etc!!

We are moving the alternator lower on my new race engine by refabricating the mounts to get away from this issue

Re: 172 Cup track toy! I did this mate with my K4M that had 180bhp and would NEVER do it again. Clutch slipped horrifically!

Re: 172 Cup track toy! Yes, after the bedding in process it slipped on the first race start it did at Mallory Park. The engine had issues half a lap later so we didnt go any further, and the result was very similar to yours.

Re: 172 Cup track toy! I have exactly the same wear on a Helix paddle clutch that has been fitted for 35 miles. I will get in touch with Helix about it too when I get two mins, would be interesting to see what they say to you if you speak to them first.

Does anyone know where I could get a new or second hand steering rack for a Clio (hydraulic). Renault want a FORTUNE new, and getting one from France second hand is a nightmare

Does anyone know where you could get a reasonable priced left hand drive rack. Renault want a FORTUNE!!!

Did anyone see the Rallycross stuff? Did it look good?

Hi all, does anyone know of the differences between the 182 and 172 engines, for thw ph1 and ph2s etc etc. I am looking to build a competition engine, with a spare and need to know which is the best to use. Cheers in advance, Hal

Are the lifters in the K4M and the 172 / 182 the same or are they different? Cheers

Power wise, 190bhp now with a bit more to come. Thanks for all your responses folks, very interesting.

That does sound good. Interested in the Motorsport stuff. I have been doing Super1600 Rallycross for a little while now using a K4M but looking for a change in direction. Tell more. Would be great if you could post it in this thread then I could put it all in one place. Cheers

Having a lot of experience trying to extract power from the K4M 1.6, which has been less than easy, what are the 182 / 172 engines like to tune. Is it considerable easier? Lots of off the shelf parts available? What sort of reasonable power can you expect from one with throttle bodies, proper...

Is the crank different too?

Does anybody on here know if the crank in the K4M 1.6 16v is the same as the crank in the 1.4? Many thanks in advance for any help.

Who do people suggest to use to have porting and poilishing done / valve seats cutting etc on Renault engines? I had a K4M head done by Ben at Angelworks about four years ago, fairly stressful experience but got a good product in the end. I believe he is no longer around? Who would people on...

Oh, and for seam welding it is best to do the whole thing, but if your not going to just look at the structural areas, around pick up points, mounts and chassis rails / legs.

Cool project mate, have sent you a pm.

p@blo, empty your inbox!

Anybody any fresh ideas?

I don't suppose anybody on here knows what crankshaft and rods you need to destroke a two litre engine to a 1.6. It has been done before, and using the Clio Williams block. We are really struggling to get power from our K4M now for the Super1600 class in European Rallycross, and thought that a...
