his was (IIRC) a BBtuning kit originally. Those kits look like a T25 to me. The current K-tec kits all use a GT28R (2856) Big power, I'd go for a tubular manifold an a GT2876R.......oh i've just made a mess

sounds like you need to take the upper inlet off and see what's stopping it sitting down. Could be pinching a lead

makes no difference on the 172/182. on a valver/williams/megane you have to move it a little

remember to wear gloves at all times, and use water to make the wrap more formable

^^ Truth It's compressor stall you're talking about External wastegates do make a monsterous noise when vented out of the the exhaust, but that's a fairly involved bit of work, with no discernable gains to you in this case

i use timing tools for taking it apart too. How easy depends on your skill and knowledge. If you're ok at manual labour and have a decent knowledge of engines, it's straightforward enough. If not, pay someone, it'll be cheaper than ruining it

Re: Modern Warfare 2: Prestige Edition it's £55 instead of £45

no point whatsoever. I've put £12 plugs in 182s before with no detriment to performance, and none of this "ooooh clios have to use the oem plugs" Sparkplugs are very simple in their function, as long as you use the correct grade (and there's many types which fall within that remit) you're...

Re: Modern Warfare 2: Prestige Edition no

Re: Modern Warfare 2: Prestige Edition at an extra tenner just for the standard version, this s**t wont get a look in with me

if it's sealed properly (as in that picture above) there should be minimal risk. It's glass-fibre strands so in itself is not flammable

I change plugs every 10k on my own cars

I have the same issue. I just dont get how they've only gone down £2k in value in 6 years. I'm getting bored of waiting now

Really like that!! Look a lot like the BBS CH

ITBs alone would be around 200. but again, dont get hung up on the numbers. You can see 200bhp without ITBs, but you'll make a LOT more torque in the midrange, a significant amount at peak, and generally more EVERYWHERE with them.

do you mean pump, or SUMP??

exactly the same

those are the mounting bushes!!!! jesus christ dont ditch the thing mounting your suspension to the car for a piece of crap strut brace that does nothing but look pretty

that's a K&N M's if i'm not mistaken. Excellent filter, but they dont do well on clios due to position behind the radiator causing heat sink. A clean and re-oil and it'll be good as new

good laptop. Would have gone for it myself if it had a rs232 coms port. Went for a Medion from saisburys with 250Gb hard drive and 4Gb ram for £293 in the end

my bet is you're used to a car with a hydraulic clutch rather than a cable. Dont worry about it unless it actually starts to play up IMO. not a cheap thing to do

Ignore Stromba ;) he likes to disregard everyone's opinion and make out he's smart. He's banned from every clio forum many times over LOL

1.4?? says 182 under your name?? the k4j (1.4 16v) is a little different, has a different aux belt run, and the waterpump which are prone to seizing is off the cambelt.

That's about it. Shouldn't need removal to change the fluid, they run a remote reservoir and cooler

Traction fluid every 10k is ~£60

Turbos tend to give a huge torque kick quite early. Can "feel" fast, but it's more likely to spin the wheels. You wont see nearly the peak torque with a Rotrex, but the delivery is very linear and makes for a very quick car

makes a standard 172 feel like a 1 litre fiesta

See this is where the subtlety of the supercharger comes in. The 260bhp 172 with a rotrex felt faster and easier to drive than a 280bhp turbo 172. It's not all about the peak numbers, and the torque curve is very important.

driven one? I'd got used to the supercharged ph1 with 260bhp in about 30 minutes. Epicly fast but it copes perfectly.

sorry but you're dreaming. quadruple the cost AT LEAST to hit 400.
