not sure. think it improves mid range torque though.

if your close to chesterfield then ill fit them for £40

sounds like its leaking some boost pressure out somewhere. id let the dealer have a look.

as tom says you would need to remove the spare tyre well. the back section of the 182 exhaust is a bit crap anyway,its only two 172 back boxes sat side by side and joined together at the front. looks like a custom made job might be for you because that way you could get a quiet one.

wouldnt it be worth if you had already carried mods such as cams,headwork etc?

:confused:

it could be the aircon or abs connection thats causes this high idle then.

maybe the pas pressure stat switch is faulty. a small switch screwed into the pas pipe. when the pas is used the pressure increases and the switch closes. this tells the ecu to slightly increase idle speed to prevent the engine stalling. would check the oil level first though.

looks like it.

well the ecu on the cup although it has a connection with the airbag and immobiliser it doesnt interact with systems such as traction contol,esp or abs like on the 172. this is the only real difference between the two models that could explain it.

what on the rsc forum as well? that was me. think they will have a website ill have a look. demon tweeks used to sell things like that as well,have you tried them?

most likely a faulty switch. never had a 172 at work with an actual mechanical oil pressure problem.

is there a road and rally shop near you? they sell reducer pipes etc

have you checked the alternator output across the battery terminals? should be around 13v to 14.5v at idle.

i would check the dizzy cap. older clios like your valver used to suffer from corrosion within the ecu due to water getting into it from it being sat in the scuttle panel. if you remove the ecu you can remove the casings and have a visual inspection of the chip board. the casing/chip board will...

everybody withs cups above have normal idle speed with the ecu but mikes is a normal 172. i wonder if the extra equipment that interacts with the ecu on a normal 172 causes this high tickover for some reason. anybody else on here got the r-sport ecu on a normal 172 not a cup?

would be more economical to get a recon gearbox rather than stripping yours. to strip and repair yours would cost around £200+ in parts alone. you can get a renault recon box for about £450 and it would have 12 months warranty. you may find a recon box cheaper than that at a gearbox specialist.

a spi has a throttle body with one injector in it and a throttle butterfly.it is bolted to the top of the inlet manifold on the energy engine. this supplys all the cylinders as a carb would. an mpi has an injection rail with 4 injectors on it so you have 1 injector per cylinder. each injector...

an energy engine is only a 1.4 or 1.2. the laguna 1.8 single point injection was an f engine but the throttle body can be easily made to fit the energy engine inlet manifold. later f engines like the in the clio rsi were multipoint injection. do you get what i mean,i tend to waffle sometimes?

poss wiring if the bulbs ok. check the bulb and if it doesnt cure get back to me.
