MKIII 138
so is the ktec one ok ? seemed like a good idea to me 182 manifold was probably the only thing that the 182 gained power wise over the 172 and 8-10hp is a nice gain, i was gonna put the 182 replica system with 4-2-1 + sportscat system on mine, cant be arsed with a decat even though i know someone who will pass it on MOT just incase the police stop me and do a emissions test.
Black 172 MK2
iv been looking at the 182 manifold matt black on here use to do them for around £250-300 but hes now banned so im not sure if any one has any details to conntact him :s i personnal would think the 182 manifold would be best as long as you know someone to fit it. No one round here will touch mods took me 7 garages just to fit my blue flame exhuast.

but a single rsport chip may smooth the power and add some extra hp but you havent increased the rate the air comes in or goes out, thats what a full 4-2-1 manifold + decat and custom feed induction + inlet manifold does, then your mapping not before these mods ?? if your going that route you may as well get a custom remap which is possible on the Rsport but it isnt as good as the smt6.
you dont get owt for nout fellas

bang on the button.
The bearings in renaults are horribly soft and certainly do not appreciate a battering. Its official renault sport info that they gaurantee you will have a failure if you live at above 7200rpm for long periods.
All the bearings i've seen suffer from the same problems, its all down to their contruction and fitment design. Mains and bigs suffer different problems but i'm not willing to say exactly what the problem is or how to solve it as it took me a while to diagnose exactly where the problem lie. And the major problem is that renault only offer one bearing size.

I`ve got the Rsport on mine and it is pulling 14.2`s @ 97.56 mph (and a best of 14.1 at the same speed) so they can`t be all bad. For just basic mods I`d recommend them all day every day for the money....

I have NO ecu mods atall, and i had a passenger, yet i was keeping with a r-sport ecu'd car with the same mods as mine(air filter, and a cat-back exhaust). MarkCup is the person i was racing.

He speaketh the truth.
I was solo, he was two up, so you can't have any of this weight nonsense either - barely a length in it after 400m.
But you did say you'd had something polished on yours Dan?

I have the bb ecu in my car which revs to 7800rpm
I was told that to think of gettin a 182 manifold put on my car but i asked the same question, i found the manifold would be about £600(thats from renault so probably get it cheaper), plus my decat pipe would have to be remade because my existing one wont fit and the engine may need to come out for the job to be done.
Im still thinking about it but ive now been told that it may not be worth it!
