Clio 172 running 197 inlet

[Cup_Clio]

is this even possible, just watched a video on you tube of a 172 apparently with one fitted. Just wondered if it was actually possible n if so whats the power gains.

 

[Tom@JMS]

Yes it's possible, but only if you know what you are doing, it requires tapping and a few other alterations to make it fit.

There was an australian guy on here that did it IIRC

 

[theduck]

as above, is possible. Not sure what gains are like though.

 

[sideways danny]

the head on that australian car had a lot of port modification to make the manifold match. Just bolting the inlet on would make it pretty aweful tbh, as the 830 head has much larger inlet ports

 

[jack_davey]

would do better to fit the 830 head rather than port the fudge out of the 730/736/738 surely?
