197 inlet manifold on clio 172/182

[andyclio172]

Morning all,

Is it true that you can modify the clio 172/182 engines to take a 197 inlet manifold.

Someone has put some clips on youtube with this modification fitted and says that it adds more power. First I had heard of it but to be honest I have been out of clio ownership for nearly 2 years.

There was a ph1 172 with this mod at CS Saturday not sure what it took to make it fit though.

yes you can 'make' them fit... but not worth the effort IMO

What does it intail to make them fit?

I'm unconvinced of the benefit. I'd quite like to construct a frankenengine at some point though

Would you be doing some flow testing on each one??
