    172 Gearbox DIY Repair Troubles

    Unfortunately I don’t know the part numbers for the springs as they only come as part of the selector hub for 1st2nd gear. Your only hope is to find another box and strip It to plunder it for parts.

    Brigsy's other cars - formerly kangoo 172 cup

    Ford cosworth Amal valve was by far the most reliable boost controller I used. Just different sized drillings for the insert into the valve needed. Bit trial and error at first, but never had one fail, and that was running 2bar+ boost lol

    JC5 casing and JB3 internals

    To answer your question, I can confirm that jb3 internals will not work on a jc5.

    Oil grade for a Turbo 172 track car

    What’s the hot oil pressure at idle and under load? That’s the best way to answer if you’re better off upping the oil grade.

    group N cam timing

    Unsure how well the Grp n timing would work on the bp270’s tbh. Regards what’s best, it all depends what you’re after. Peak bhp then 197, but in my opinion you get better drivability from Grp n on standard cams.

    How hard, how different and has it been done before putting a 197 / RS200 engine in a 182

    If you click on my link in my avatar, you can see 230bhp with a 197 head and inlet fitted to a 172 block. It may have also had some quite lairy items inside the engine as well 😂

    Ok, so one question if I may? So it’s 100% definitely not at Spa Francorchamps?

    Clio 200 third gear crunch ( ktec rebuilt 7 months ago)

    Whatever it says on the instructions for it mate. I’ve never used it, but I’ve heard of others that have and it’s worked.

    Clio 200 third gear crunch ( ktec rebuilt 7 months ago)

    It’s worth bleeding the clutch to rule that side of things out first, but it’s a good chance the synchro is goosed again.

    Turbo conversion throwing EML

    It could be a multitude of things tbh, from injectors, spark plugs, coil pack or lambda sensor. You need to plug it in and see what it’s saying.

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    I haven’t used this setup personally, but I just use the Karcher patio cleaner attachment turned upside down. I mix up BH autofoam in the bottle for the patio cleaner (karcher pw), as it has rust inhibitors in BH AF and send it under. I find it works really well tbh.

    Ph1 & Ph2 subframes?

    Yeah ph1 is narrower on the wishbone mounting points, so you will lose track width and gain positive camber.

    I know. All you can hear is him beating one out in the wardrobe. It’s quite off putting at times when he starts grunting as well.

    It’s a proper b*****d when you know where it’s taking place but can’t say. It’s a real choker. 😂😂😂 @Flob @Grandpa Joe

    172 Track Car Engine rebuild tips

    I have no data on oil flow from the pumps, so difficult to comment tbh. But just closing up the tolerances on the original oil pump works very well, but it’s an ‘in combination with’ kinda thing. It’s got the potential to be the same story as the diesel boxes having ‘bigger bearings’ in them...

    172 Track Car Engine rebuild tips

    The reason they let go is because the oil pressure on the f4r is absolutely dire. The cranks flex, centre main spins and goodnight vienna. There are many reasons for them to fail, which I’ve listed many times before. But as far as being a ticking time bomb, I’m afraid I disagree.
