you NEED the look for holding the pulleys (MOT1509). If you dont use it you WILL turn the cam (and possibly break the locating slots as they're not strong) and throw the timing out
nope, it's ignition r****d. overfueling will just give you black smoke. you actually pull fuel out and r****d ignition in the overrun area to make bigger pops
it's just about barely possible with the exhaust manifold on, but it's a massive t**t to do, and putting the heatshield back on......well it angered me
lol, just no.
the accoustic valve doesn't have anything to do with fast idle, that's actuated by the throttle body (on the ph2). Accoustic valve is just a noise limiting device
not to my knowledge, sure you could find something if you paid enough money, but it's just not needed. money better spent elsewhere for some real gains :)
HKS controllers are a lot more complicated to setup, not keen. Apexi AVC-R is the most over complicated piece of kit I've ever had the displeasure of losing my mind trying to work.

buy that Steve, I run one exactly the same in my 200sx and I've fitted and set-up a lot...
Our 172/182 ITB kit is already available :) it's the 197 kit that's in development
you can do it either way round, but probably doing the bodies and ECU then upgrade to cams and do a re-map is the most logical if you know you'll do both. There's other options though, best to give us a call...
Dont think you'll notice a difference between a 172 and 182 manifold until you've done quite a bit to engine internals. Only really worth changing if the engine is out or significantly apart for other work IMHO. The magnex system is ok, and sounds nice enough. Not keen on the look of it myself...
