    how to get 175bhp from your 16v

    loads of diff ways, and all at best are an educated guess......

    BANG! Flames shooting out of my Willy...

    a simple fueling problem.....EITHER too rich or too lean...... to rich and the exhaust needs to be stupidly hot.....or still burning mixture exits. Too lean and it builds up on packing and burns when there is enough. Nothing too major.... We did a long post on this a while ago.......

    how to get 175bhp from your 16v

    so, IMHOP ther is no point in using a fast road profile.....pointless.... you dont remove material from the actual shaft.....the entire cam profile consists of the lobe, ramps flanks and the bae circle. You decrease the base circle diameter t make the effective cam smaller and thus a longer...

    how to get 175bhp from your 16v

    you remove it from around the round part and not the lobe.....effecyively making the cam smaller.

    Viper Induction Kit

    only because the breather system design is very effective on the 172 and taking out its main source of vacuum by not having the breather attatch to the link pipe. WOnt cause anything major, but it would rather have it in, i run the breahter in mine....and it wont stink either... Piper X only...

    how to get 175bhp from your 16v

    i hate reprofiled cams.......waste of money since you can only remove material, you keep std lift, and just take material off the bottom of the lobe t decrease its diameter.....lousy.

    mk1 vs mk2 mechanical differences

    well, most motors yo can get today you wont be able to get anything worth the money with bolt of stuff. mechanically diff, FBW, TB is smaller diameter with a taper (for torque), single cat with twin lambda, manifold is the same, ECU, not sure on the box, not looked.... as for the VVT, its...

    ARP Conrod Bolts

    Cheers, about the same price, but slightly cheaper as it costs 157 quid ex VAT. sorry for the huge list, but i will probably start to use you for parts......deffo easier and cheaper than burton. The kit inc tappets and double springs right. Ta

    172 Standard Wheels

    LOL....the facotry will not give info like that and i will be surprised if amy people actally know, they arentvery clued up on their own cars. When regional directors come for meetings, you can throw all sorts of ques at thema nd theyll look at you with a blank face. easiest to do it yourself...

    Oil

    fully synths will typically double the drain periods, so i would say 4-6 thousand miles depending on traffic conditions. I.e. city use = shorter drain periods. 5w just means you can use in in really freezing conditions and actual operational temp viscosites are near the same. Mobil motorsport...
