182 engine in a 172.

[hoggaz]

They are exactly the same yeah? Not like the stupid gearbox's...

 

[ditz]

yup pretty much

 

[Coby.]

Why would you want to do that conversion??

 

[Brett]

maybe his engine has blown and he needs a replacement and can get hold of a 182 engine.

 

[hoggaz]

Bingo! Would rather put a newer one in.

 

[Coby.]

I see... As stated its all pretty much the same except for the manifold etc.

 

[J03]

hmmmm i want a 182 engine

 

[hoggaz]

Yeah. I thought it would be.

manifolds.
ALL 182s have an RS stamped inlet = better flowing
main power gain came from the exhaust manifold and the remap

The Carbon canister wont retrofit direct.

Find a cup engine, they always seem to be fastest lol.

I fitted a 182 engine to my 172 with no problems at all!

182 will have a different top oil baffle plate, the 172 has the carbon canister connection here whereas the 182 has it on the back of the inlet manifold.

The 182 baffle plate does not retrofit to the 172.

Mike@Rentech has a 182 engine in his 172.
Seems to go like a rocket when I've been in it.

 

[BenR]

Not saying it cant be done lol, just pointing out a small detail that you'll have to deal with.

 

[Day]

I guess having the know how, a garage and the right tools helps a little too!

Would it be possible to drop a 197 engine into a 172 or 182?

Yep, but as long as you get the inlet manifold with the new engine it won't be a problem. Mine even came with the longer hose to connect to charcoal can!

U'd need a diff gear box etc. Alot of work!

dont think it's really worth the work TBH, gearbox wont physically fit. Working on what bits will retro-fit at the moment. finding some things of interest but not much that would be easier or cheaper than just upgrading 172/182 bits to aftermarket for similar cost
