10bhp difference?

[blackace]

Hello People,

Can anyone please tell me where renault gonna an extra 10bhp from the 172 to make the 182?

I've always throught it was from the different manifold true or not

Cheers

y ur right thats what it is the 182 has a 4 branch

 

[blackace]

cheers mate.

Does everyone else agree ?

Yep... he's right. Its a 4-2-1 mani.

And it has an improved (free-er flowing) cat.

yep, different exhuast manifold, and better manunfactured inlet manifold. I don't feel any difference between the 2 cars though.

Same manifold.

Only gains were the remap, 4-2-1 exhaust manifold, and the exhaust and sportier cat.

Officially it is mainly the manifold but does it actually give you 10 bhp?
Every time a 182 is fitted to a 172 it only gives between 3 and 5 bhp, from what I have seen at least. Could the better cast on the plenum and inlet not give a greater gain than is given credit for. After all, BenR does always say that the best gains can be had on earlier cars.

Thats because they arn't mapped for the extra power plus they don't have the sport 182 cat and exhaust on them.

Earlier cast do seem worse I think.

The rest is prob made up by the cat and i did once here that the plen and inlet were matched better in the 182s... dont know though.

Although, its that can of worns again as to what 172s and 182 are running standard.

The maps in the ecu are also different.

I think the 10 bhp is a myth.

At a Janspeed rolling road day, there was an even mix of 182's and 172's. They were all, give or take 2-3 bhp here and there, exactly the same. The top 3 figures overall were 172's though...probably down to mileage as the 182's had not been out that long.

10 bhp is hard to detect, but even fully-instrumented road tests have failed to show the performance difference that 10 bhp should result in. You have to wonder if it was a bit torquier in the midrange thanks to the 4-2-1 exhaust, and a 3-5 bhp more at the top end thanks to the better inlet manifold matching and the sports cat, so it produced 179 ps. But Renault had the marketing problem that Peugeot had already released a (206 gti) "180". So they had to call their new model at least a "181", to one-up Peugeot, but, well, "182" worked better as a name for the next model after the 172. So that's what they called it, and that's how many ps they decided to claim it had.

Power and acceleration are pretty much identical to the 172's. Having a 3rd gear side by side pelt with Eray 172 (ph quick) off here shows the marginal difference in torque the 182 has over the 172 with its "more suitable for road driving" 4-2-1 manifold. Through the gears there is no difference imo.

172cups are still the fastest!
