ok, fact the AP22 IS VERY, VERY ACCURATE ! it needs to be set up for each vehicle for power runs.. but not for speed timing (that is based on Gforce and time only) the only thing that leads to innacuracies is the mounting position in the car, and the flatness of the road it is tested on...

yep, agreed, the throttlebody from the 172 will be the most appropriate by far. and, yes, if you are going to do it,, do it right first time. The other thing to note.. the gt turbo clutch plate appears to fit the 172 clutch, I am trying one this weekend, so no worries there (there are...

Hi Chun, It would certainly be the neatest. having to change the pistons means removing the engine anyways.. its a simple matter to strip the block and have it drilled / tapped / cleaned.. Also, whilst it is out.. the head HAS to come off to change the pistons.. might as well remove...

Nick.. You Sir........ are a very wise man Joe... I have just cut 3 cambelts in half today in the workshop.. they were off new (dyno run only) units.. but I wont even use them again.. !!!!!!!!

1. getting the driving position just right and feeling the car talk to you.. 2. the look on the face of the 911 driver on the m1 the other day 3. spotting a speed camera before it spots you ! 4. Continental tyres and their language (but not with the turbo ) 5. open country roads at...

no, like ships, there HAVE to be female difficult when they want to be.. Like to be dressed up and sparkly.. refuse to do what you ask sometimes.. and also get jealous if you look at other cars.... Joe

ps.. we can also do the oil feed from the location in the block where the genuine turbo unit fits. ?? it would mean removing gallery plugs to enable swarf clean out though ??. do you want details for both methods ?. Joe.

Hi fellow nutters... posted this to Chun below.. but copy here in case any of you guys with the parts missed it. tried the parts on the 172 engine today (I now have a spare mk1 complete unit ) will be able to supply pics of what needs moving / removing.. its fairly minor. also, the...

certainly did !! cheers m8.. ps.. tried the parts on the 172 engine today (I now have a spare mk1 complete unit ) will be able to supply pics of what needs moving / removing.. its fairly minor. also, the front engine cover from the 172 can be re-used (Needs just one hole drilling and...

I could tell ya Chun, but I would have to immediately kill ya .. Actually its for cross reference on the parts database for the fuel supply.. I need to see if there are any differences between the mk1 and mk2. Joe

I coonsidered this, but I wouldnt do this to a 172.. If anyone is up for it, I can assist.. A nice 2ltr turbo rear wheel drive, that would be bloody entertaining ! Joe... I will stick to the 4*4 plan though lol

Guve Nick Hill a bell for an induction kit. He is the only guy (afaik) that can sort the top end fuelling on a 172. and..... his kits are the best. Joe.
