Can't remember the exact size , but its quite small . The 2 holes going into the Ph2 172 airbox measure 68mm and 60mm x 80mm oval ( 70mm) . The air feeds are alot smaller than this though , espcially the one that goes underneath the airbox . Its something in the region of 50mm ID .
Of course it sucks . Thats why if you have an IK fitted you hear a loud roar when you press the accelerator pedal . Put your hand over the throttle body while the accelerator pedal is pressed . You'll feel it suck .
You mean the air feed wasn't going to the original position down towards the wheel arch ? We are talking Clio's here ?? If he didnt have the air feed going anywhere he was most likely sucking in hot air from the engine bay .
Like i said before . There's a huge restriction inbetween the CAF /...
^^^ You've seen it happen ? Then it must be right and i am wrong ;) How did you actually see it happen ? Have you any hard evidence , facts and figures etc.... or do you have a mate who's induction kit now sounds slightly louder so if it's louder it must be producing more power :quiet:
You've...
The fact is you can't force air in . The engine sucks the air in , it can only take in as much as the size of the throttle body will allow . Even if your driving at 60mph , the air forced up the cold air feed hits a huge restriction , the air filter itself , so any pressure is lost . It's a...
Is it doing it when the engines not been warmed up ? Cos they all hesitate until its properly warmed up .
I had a similar hesitation but mine was between 2 and 3k revs . It was the spark plugs . Changed them and it was good as new .
When i painted a set of calipers , i cleaned them first with some wire brushes that fit in a drill . They came up really shiny and polished but still a rough texture . Tbh i wouldn't leave them that way as they'll soon become black and tarnished with the brake dust and heat i would imagine .
Imo you won't see any gains having the cold air feed in the grill or foglight . Just run it down towards the wheel arch as per the original air feed . The engine sucks air , it's not forced so it will suck enough cold air from the wheel arch .If you go through very deep water and the air feed is...
The build qualitys not brilliant , granted . If you can live with the odd rattle , lol . As for power , the 1*2's aren't that bad if you keep it in the power band . Learn to love 2nd and 3rd gear ;) . I suppose they aren't everyones cup of tea , but for the price you pay you get alot for your...
You won't get nowhere near what you might think it's worth tbh mate imo . The majority of people would want a real 182 . As to the remap , exhaust and air filter giving over 200bhp i very much doubt that , knock off about 15bhp and you might be nearer the mark ;)
Good luck with the sale though .
It is possible to refurb them yourself using aerosol paint . Quite a few people have refurbed their own wheel(s) including myself .
I wouldn't bother prepping them to tbh if your going to get a company to refurb them .
Heres my spare wheel i refurbed ...
I only use cdr's and never have a problem . If the standard headunit won't play audio files on a cdr try changing the brand . I always go for ones that have the ritek dye ( dark purple ) .
Sand it down with 320 grit wet and dry to give the primer something to key to . Wipe down with a tac cloth or panel wipe so it's completely dust free .
Primer , a couple of coats until your happy with the finish . Wet and dry that with some 800 grit .
Wipe down again so its clean , dust...
