Put it on a Rolling Road and see. You'd be lucky to see 170bhp atf tbh.

PS. there is a RR day at EFI Parts, which is close to you, next month.

TDF do some nice throttle bodies. If you can afford the extra fuel costs drop in a cam at the same time.

Realistically what you have now is the correct way to do a cheap 172.

Anything you do from here on in, is likely to cost you the full value of the car (cams fitted and mapped) or more than double the value of your car (bodies including fitting and mapping and aftermarket ecu etc)

If you want a car thats a lot faster, buy one.


Not saying you cant make your car quicker, but doing so cheaply isnt likely to be an option, so think carefully about how much you spend.

Ive nothing against Jamsport, in fact Ive known Jamie years and he's one of life's good guys. But IMHO the MWM ones are the best available if going matched inlets, they are done by Neil Roper and they really are spot on.

Sorry mate, shouldnt abbreviate when not everyone knows who I mean, I meant Michael Woodford Motorsport from the trader section on here.
Neil who does their headwork and inlet porting is ex Hart Formula 1, used to do Senna's engine work etc, properly awesome talent!

What about a stone automotive RS2
Click to expand...

That falls under the same "it costs as much as the car" grouping as getting a set of cams supplied fitted and mapped, but I really like them, its transformed out one fitting an RS2 :)


Looks good too :)


This is our one that my mrs fitted a couple of months ago:

You are happy with how it is so just enjoy it.

Save your money for when it breaks or a faster/better/different car if thats what you want in the future.

Chip, that bay looks lovely!

Yeah man, she has done a great job.

This was it when she first fitted the RS2:

Shame there isnt time for your car to go via her for a couple of days before you pick it up, its looking a bit hanging after the trip in the rain to the rollers and back, lol

*off to spend more money*

Lol, I ordered one yesterday for a car Ive been working on for a mate, 140 quid including the silicon hose and delivery, funny how such little things can eat money up when you buy decent quality ones.

I went for a mocal one, its for this bay:

Which me and Mike form MWM have just done as a favour for Porkie on here.
She's a little rev monster, still pulling hard at the 7800rpm rev limiter and makes 160lbft+ and 212bhp :)

yeah i was tempted by the mocal one when i seen it in a clio bay. can you get them in black? i want it to serve a purpose, cba having another thing to clean hence me considering the cheapo option

  182/RS2/ Turbo/Mk1
I just think those look like cheap tack TBH mate, but im sure that functionally it will be fine.
In fact Ive got one the same as your link on my nova, just this bay deserved something a bit more quality looking so I went for the mocal one purely for that reason really.

Actually just looked again and my nova one isnt quite the same, its a rounded variant, but it was still cheap.

you can see it on the right of the bay in this pic:

those cheap catch-cans usually have too small hosetails. Some have the larger kind now but the reall bad ones only have a 6mm internal.

If you get one like that, I'd recommend some low density foam be added to actually catch the vapour before it blows straight out the other end

9mm and 15mm fittings specified on there... i guess this is what your talking about lol.

ohh and sorry to the op for hijacking this a bit :eek:
