Best place to buy 172 Matched Inlets ? and Opinions from people with them fitted

[D1CKY]

I know this has probably been asked before but here goes.

I have a FF172 as some of you's know and i'm after some Matched Inlets for it.

I have seen that JamSport and Angelworks do them.

My next question is are these two companys as good as each other at matching them ?

Or does one company claim or have proven to gain more results than the other from them by the way they port an match them ?

And i guess the next question is.

What would they sting me price wise ?

I would be after and exchange for exchange basis ?

By that i mean. Get new inlets sent to me and fit them to car and then send back my old ones.

Opinions and views from people with inlets from either company would be appreciated and would be great if you could tell me what mods you have to go with them to get your current ppower output.

Cheers

i had mine done at jamsport, top guys.

a proven bhp increase and torque increase of 8bhp and 8lbft torque IIRC (7 or 8 cant remember)

Rolling roaded before , then after, same day within about an hour of each other.

Car pulls better and nicer to drive

i hadnt driven my car for 6 months before i fitted mine so its kinda hard to do a before and after of them but it now pulls on my mates ek9 civic type R when it used to be about even.

Were they a fucker to fit ?

As i heard one bolt beside the alternator is b*****d to get to

 

[mattjk]

Yeah its a bit fiddly! but if you leave yourself plenty of time youl be fine

Is the ackward bolt accessible with a small socket or ring spanner ?

 

[Martin_172]

yeah it was a c**t as the new gaskets were a little thicker, i couldnt be bothered pissing about taking the alternator off so i just wiggled it and hammered it n got there lol theres probbaly an easier way!

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

JAM-sport highly recommended !

Much more driveable .. picks up much better from 2k, and goes like a rocket to the big numbers !!

Notable higher MPGs on a long journey .. (back from JAM-Sport compared with journey to JAM-Sport)

Two thumbs up from me ...

Haha
So that side on yours will be leaking like a b**ch ?

 

[frankandkez172]

im told jam spot is best as they port right through the lower half, most just match the first 3mm where they meet between the upper and lower half and the head.
this is just what iv been told and not forced to be fact.
were looking forward to geting ours done!

 

[Dangerous_dave]

JAMPSPORT EASILY - best guys in tuning i have dealt with hassle free no nonsense.

 

[Slammed172]

Go to Jamsport, Angelworks will take forever and a day.

I took mine to Jamsport, and did RR before and after, i gained 7 or 8 bhp and 7 or 8 torque too.

Final price 200quid all in which inc ptff gaskets.. Great to be honest.

 

[mattjk]

Would go to angelworks or APD myself but at the end of the day its upto you

How come ?

Have you had experience from all 3 ?

 

[D1CKY]

Bloody hell it may be JAM Sport then ?
They seem to be well recommended on here which is suprising as i thought Angelworks were the boys for matched Inlets

Has anyone got a link to there website ?

Nope just personal choice, Ben and the fella from APD seem very educated on this sort of thing. It may cost more but I think the price reflects the end product particularly when it comes down to something so intricate. All IMO of course

[Slammed172]

Very well educated, yes. But as for the rest, well. You need to go through customer experience.

I've tried both Angelworks and Jamsport, would choose Jamsport any day over Angelworks.

Spent near a grand with Angelworks, so i have decent experience.

All IMO of corse. But do try before you speak, as i heard people sing and dance about Ben untill i had the unfortunate experience with them.

 

[D1CKY]

f**k !!!
I never realised the inlets were so cheap

Jamsport are offering them for £138 which is a boost

Jamsport seem interested in doing business! CS needs a new blood Reno tuner.
