    changing 172 manifold for 182 manifold

    never expect miracles with these cars lol, wouldnt be doing it if i was paying for fitting (i beleive k-tec charge around £250 odd quid? and around £600 for the manifold and link pipe!) i got my manifold much much cheaper than that ;)

    changing 172 manifold for 182 manifold

    deffo superior for midrange torque which imo is where the biggest gain is needed, possibility of a loss in top end power but should be ok

    changing 172 manifold for 182 manifold

    changing my manifolds over this week, now ive read the guide about droping the subframe etc which isnt a problem but after having a look it looks as if it would be possible to do it from the engine by after the inlet manifold was removed? or am i hoping for a bit to much!? lol

    standard airbox ???

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBf4dwB7V3w cant hear it too well but you can see how well it goes!
  23. Martin_172

    standard airbox ???

    cut the airbox open, cut out the seperator between the 2 chambers so its just 1 big chamber, chop out the square bits inside (bits that look like an RS front grill!!) seal it back together, sounded mental too!! lol ill find the video of it before the exhaust went on 2 seconds
  24. Martin_172

    standard airbox ???

    there is a duct behind teh grill that directs cold air right to this cold air feed, its very efficient where it is. on mine i had standard airbox, modified it a bit to let it draw more air, larger feed going to the same place and K&N panel filter, went well!

    Dci intercooler

    never fitted one but i know some here have, dci 100 one is more efficent though!

    all 4 engine mounts changed - still movement

    not done it yet but looks like a case of just unbolting the subframe and droping it, disconecting the steering rack to get it a bit lower then unbolt it and squeeze it out! sounds easyer than it really is probably! haha

    all 4 engine mounts changed - still movement

    should the upstream not throw up the warning light though? Fitting a 182 manifold this month anyway so might change it anyway
  28. Martin_172

    all 4 engine mounts changed - still movement

    i can feel it when coming off throttle, the engines moving, gearsticks moving too, cars not driving smoothly when slow in traffic in first gear. when the cars cold its really lumpy to drive, i know the cars are pretty crap when cold but this is worse than it used to be! it feels like when my...

    Keep the 172 or get the EK9?

    not a fan of the ek9, dont know if my mates is a duff one but its not as quick as my 172, although i suppose it does weigh a wee bit more with around the same power (they 180 odd bhp?)
