172 Cup Project

[leeds_182]

No offense dude - but mine makes 194bhp. What were you expecting?

It's not cammed so mid 190's is about right

In fact yours is making the same power, the same torque and the exact same curves as mine does

Mines cammed, only 438s but I would've thought closer to 200bhp.

 

[Cup_Phil]

Ohhhhhhhhhh..... ok lol

 

[leeds_182]

It's just chasing numbers really. I doubt I'd tell the difference between 193 and 200bhp but it would be nice to take it there!

 

[Chi]

Thought itbs were good for 215ish???

 

[Cup_Phil]

They will make 215 with engine mods too. Above 215 is mega money. But you won't get 215 from just bolting a set onto a standard engine.
Most will produce 195ish or 205ish with cams

What's it drive like?

 

[leeds_182]

Spot on. Really smooth.

[imprezaworks]

Sounds good

 

[Simon_16v]

Sounds like a Ktec induction kit :butt:

Only joking

little compilation vid.

 

[yeecup]

Are u sure its 438's and not 428's? 438's are same profile as 421's so if it was timed correctly would defo be over 200bhp.

 

[leeds_182]

428s - my bad.

 

[Fletcher]

Sounds good. Nice little handbrake turn too.

 

[leeds_182]

Yeah, a little bit of chav creeping in.

 

[Brookie.]

Love it Jim!

Haven't seen you in a while mate, would love a nosey at this.

Get yourself down to the breakfast meet at malton a week on Sunday mate, should be a good do!

 

[wayne9989]

Anyone want to buy this? Cammed, btb stealth, 182 manifold, ktec induction kit, mapped by rs tuning, 11 months mot?

What power did it make at RS Tuning with this spec mate?

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol, you seriously selling it? Your worse than me, maybe

 

[Chi]

Note to self! I don't need another car

 

[imprezaworks]

Be a nice car though

 

[Chi]

You'd look great behind the wheel

 

[imprezaworks]

Sticking with the scoob

 

[leeds_182]

I'm not selling! The wife would castrate me. That was a quote from a while ago.

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol

 

[JamesWilson]

I can't wait to have a nosey at malton, I shall be wanting to see the trumpets!

 

[Chris205]

I'll hopefully get down to malton for a little look at it.

Its not making bad power, last time it was there paul said the timing was bang on and he originally mapped it, so unless you've had the belts done again there shouldn't be any tweeks needed.

Is it still running the BTB?

 

[leeds_182]

Yeah, same spec as before when it made 181bhp so a bit of a strange one as the belts are still the same.

 

[leeds_182]

Average mpg since fitting the bodies;

I think something may be a miss there.

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol

 

[leeds_182]

Booked in a week on Thursday at RS Tuning to have the timing checked / adjusted and tweaked on the dyno if required.

 

[Cup_Phil]

I wish my mpg thing still worked lol. Stupid omex

But to be fair I winged about my MPG thinking it was bad - but then on way to ClioSport Saturday and back I worked it out and got 46mpg. I think it just seems bad coming from a diesel

 

[JamesWilson]

Good luck, it's this Thursday your back at rst aren't you?

 

[leeds_182]

Good luck, it's this Thursday your back at rst aren't you?

Yeah, back in Thursday so will see if the timing is off or not. If it isn't I might have to start looking for some 421s! It never ends...

That is what I plan on using when mine gets valve stem seals done, be rude not to while belts and cams are out!

What do you think to the bodies then after driving around on them?

I like them. The car is really quite smooth - even around town which is nice.

 

[leeds_182]

Well, the timing is officially......not out!

 

[imprezaworks]

Good or bad thing? Apart from the obvious that its running right
