I’m sure it’s been said before at EFI that if your standard 172/182 injectors are old/ tired then it can be worthwhile upgrading to 197’s.
However in your case this may differ with the 630’s
I tried to buy a 182 cat off Facebook recently after people told the poster that they were circa £100 scrap. But he wanted way more.
Does anyone know an up to date value on them? @Chode Lint
The OEM gearbox nylon bush is currently on back order with Renault now and has been for a while. Seems like aftermarket is the only way to go with that but can’t recommend one unfortunately.
Done mine on a previous 172 cup. Subframe needs to be dropped slightly for access. Revved it a lot, couple of trackdays and hard road miles. Was also recommended by scoff at efi when raising the Rev limit with a remap.
Just done them to my engine in the kangoo also. As I was cleaning the sump...
Deffo widetrack if you’ve got most of the bits in stock! I regret not doing it with the daily kangoo I had! I’ve got a powder coated cup arb if you’re stuck! @Brigsy
Aparently a 1 star Google review can work wonders if they don’t play ball.
bloke at work got advised to give a 1* review after awful service at a Hyundai dealership, it notifys the dealer and Hyundai UK who want nothing less than a review like that.
Fingers crossed your on the right path to...
Would take a refurbished standard wishbone over a Ktec item. Most likely just the same as other aftermarket’s just given the marketing hype from ktec. The only stronger part looks to be the plate above the ball joint but this is standard on lower models if I’m not wrong.
I have a set of new...
With the EPAS rack only being held on via two bolts instead of the 4 found on a hydraulic rack, would anyone say there’s a reduction in stiffness from that point.
I have had the wishbones plated and the subframe stiffened so seems silly to sacrifice rigidity here.
I’ve had mine stitch welded because it was getting blasted and painted so why not! But as it’s going to be running more power and torque eventually it could make sense!
I’d speak to whoever’s mapping it and get their view on it. Be nothing worse than buying and fitting some with the mapped disapproving or them not working 110% with the setup!
No difference in lower inlet if getting it ported.
I’ve always been under the impression that the throttle body is a gimmick but happy to be told otherwise!
Refurbished originals for the Oe quality
or there’s plenty of cheaper copies on eBay. Seem a bit hit and miss with the ball joint position. Cup/non cup etc.
