172 INLET PORT AND POLISH

[PARTRIDGE172]

Just been thinking the last few days if its possible to port and polish the inlet manifold on the 172! and if it would maybe b worth it? any1 had this done?. i know its a bit large and curvy shape,but i work in and engineering place,so i should b able to manage it.

Matched inlets are the most common mod going! Every company offers it. And DIY is more than possible

I got a 182 n managed to do mine, jus type in port n polish on you tube n there's loads of vids, I did mine with a dremel! Just remember to match all ports to the gaskets and don't polish the inlet too much, hope this helps, if u got the tools u can also bring up the outside to a mirror finish, again I did mine with a dremel n wet n dry sandpaper, must admit it takes a while to do it this way, and u doo get sore fingers too! Let me know how u get on pls mate

Bit more mid range grunt, not a lot to behonest, but it's a mod u can say u did urself, and us prob reap the benefits after a remap
