182 engine mods whats everyone had done?

[craigs182]

im thinking of doing some engine mods maybe see what andy at gdi can do, not sure what to have done tho???. ive just had a blueflame exhaust after a sports cat aswell,

 

[haitch]

drop Andy a pm as there are lots of options, its all down to budget/ use of the car.

 

[Fred@BTM]

how much £££ do you have to play with?? do you do trackdays? 1/4 miles?? fast road?? shopping car???

We have several engine packages available

Anychance of getting a pic up of your new exhaust?

 

[Fred@BTM]

i'm not in possesion of any pictures on this laptop, i'll get someone to post some later

 

[Gary G]

Piper cams, AngelWorks manifold, SMT6, Prospeed exhaust. Cost a fair amount but made circa 197bhp iirc and drives alot nicer....had all the work carried out by Andy at GDI.

If i were you Craig i'd go for AngelWorks new cam profile, Omex600 management (jenvey body and cable throttle...nice) and then think about some good suspension.

 

[MarkM]

^^^ going to see Andys demo car Friday which has the mods Gary lists. Need to price it up and see what I can afford but I think my budget will stretch to all of it but the cams. Which would be battery relocation, jenvey, omex, Angelworks manifold.

You need a budget first then go speak to someone who knows what they are doing.

 

[Gary G]

Mark, save up for the cams! Bens new profile is awesome

 

[MarkM]

I know what you mean Gary I would prefer to get it all done but I can always get the cams done later?

I will have to speak to Andy see what he can do.

 

[rmccardal]

then take the cams over the Jenvey single body. They will make more difference.

 

[MarkM]

cams and smt?

 

[rmccardal]

Depends if you later plan to go a great deal further.

For me, the smt worked perfectly with different cams, modified inlet and headwork (amongst others)

The omex was only needed when the cams spec was uprated to a pretty wild profile.

 

[MarkM]

I want to leave my options open.

It is all about cash I suppose. I could go the SMT cams route for probably a similar price to the omex jenvey route but when I have more cash to spend next year I may find I have wasted money on the SMT. There is also as you say headwork and possibly throttle bodies which may be on the list in the future as well.

It would be nice to get it all done in one go but I will have to do it in more manageable chunks.

 

[rmccardal]

Indeed. It's great fun to manage !!!

My initial point stands though. Go down the omex route, but take cams instead of a single jenvey body. You can use a mk1 172 TB for the cable throttle swap that the omex requires.

 

[MarkM]

thanks for the info.

Will have to speak to Andy see what it would cost.

I think Ben will be around on Friday as well so will be interested to get his views

 

[rmccardal]

No probs.

Sure they pair of them will look after you. You get an 85% discount if you take doughnuts.

 

[BenR]

SHUTUP!!!

whatever you do dont mention my fetish for cinnamon sugar fluffy donuts, and my inability to say no after eating them.

 

[Fred@BTM]

take some gay p**n too, they seem to work faster with some good quality material lying around

 

[BenR]

i never knew you thought that sort of stuff was good?

YS gayporn packages next?
Will they have the bean rating too? lol

 

[Fred@BTM]

na sod beans, its all about balls

 

[BenR]

you like to play ball games?

 

[Fred@BTM]

yes, but only with my hands, we share the same feature of having small b**ch hands, so we can get them in some strange places

BTW Benjarmima, i've started up a new company

Devil Works Technologies, angle grinder + welding specialists

 

[BenR]

oooo.....suits you sir!

 

[Paul J]

Is it possible to run the car on original ecu and injectors if the inlet is matched/worked and cams installed? Would it be worth it?

ps, just an idea as this would be hard to detect by renault if it needed warrenty work.

 

[BenR]

yes, you can run those components, but it still needs to be remapped.

 

[portal172]

what if you are using a Renault Sport ECU? Can you re-map them and make adjustments as you go along?

Cheers.

 

[Leeshez]

The only mods i have done is change the oil and filter lol

 

[Andy GDI]

what if you are using a Renault Sport ECU? Can you re-map them and make adjustments as you go along?

Cheers.

unless you have a way of working the Rsport each time... the advantage with Omex or The SMT is after the initial installation you can remap for a much smaller fee... its also AFR mapped live on the road after any changes.... to make sure you get the best power and correct fueling to prevent engine damage.
