Be pointless other than for noise, be no power up there at all compared to lower down where peak power is made.

I do not think so, if he shifts around 7500 rpm, in the next gear he is gonna catch a more useful powerband 5000-7000.

Yes, it's got some more haha pretty much more

..this was out of the curve, torque-steer in second, another curve and dangerously close to oncoming traffic. The torque is very good however, going up to 7500 is cool because plenty power there but shifting a little earlier is just as good. notice the pickup (sound) from 3rd to 4th ; here also not going way up in the revs but it picks up VERY good in fourth. Remember Alper i have the shorter gears on me Cup

I have noticed my gearbox is starting to kind of complain to me in second when really pulling it hard.. think i''ll have to be kind to it

anyway, next time i'll make sure no traffic is there + i'll thrash the tits of of 'r on handy-video (filmed from mouth position :clown: )

Hi Frank,

I have recently bought a shorter-ratio gearbox (with JC-5 129 internals). It is around 5 % shorter than the ph-1's, actually what you already got. We will see how it affects the performance.

Funny, i was thinking about the phase 1 gears for mine .. Alper how much does your 172 weigh ? Loosing weight really gets it going .

 

[en035]

You are absolutely right, really thinking about that diet thing but i drive it daily so still I need the back seats and etc. At the moment it is totally standart as weight-wise (around 1065 kg with full tank).

Just did two other modifications. Mentioned in another thread also btw

Wanted an aftermarket intake-elbow for a while so i got that ; also went for the modification MarkCup did ; have a look :

Very nice mod, extremely pleased with the results , being ; no more flatspots because of heat soaks !

Nice work franx !

similar setup, different cams

My V6 box came today CatCams and custom exhaust with 182 mani already in the car I'll set up everything this weekend and share with You my results

 

[franx]

Thanks Toxic (what's your real name?) ;

Get the thing mapped AFTER doing this Mod !! (the filterhousing is a Espace V6 model from year '98, maybe you have got this already ?)

It's hot ! :evil:


Do'nt ruin the little panel like i did , i had to improvise and make a new panel (sits really snug to the caf though :approve from a piece of rubber that i had laying around in the shed.

Really pleased ! (also another Kilogram of weightloss , making mine 959kgs ;-)

Hope you get good results !

 

[franx]

** edit ** you got the filterhousing already !


One more PLUS- point btw ; easy reach to the oilfilter (for oilchanges) when doing this mod

Janusz, mate
I'm from Poland

Yes it's espace 2.8 V6 I got it I'll fit it this weekend

My car did 178BHP at the flywheel before the exhaust and manifold was changed (custom remap was made by Henk after CatCams were instaled)

I hope that the exhaust and few other minor mods will free up a fair amount of BHP
Even now I can tell the difference, BIG difference. One final remap needed and I think I'll be ready

 

[franx]

^^ Well Janusz, good luck !


By the way Janusz was also an old Dutch name here, maybe taken from the Polish names !? (Janes, Janus) We have a very polular (Folk)music-singer , his name is Janes or Janus..

Its a matter of finding the optimum shift return point for maximizing performance. Obviously with other cams it needs to be altered.

So you can alter timing ( activating-deactivating) VVT?

Sooooo looking forward to custom map in June

can't see the dials, sorry .. turn up the volume max and maybe you'll get an impression of how she goes

 

[Gal]

..... i just cant get my head round it

Ahhhhh Colombo, not Columbo

Haha I thought exactly the same thing.

Video wise its hard to see really what the difference is. you need to find a standard 172 and line it up against it. give you a better idea of the improvement.

Cant wait to get my cams in. Haven't seen anyone else here at the forum with these cams in a 182.

Have an (RS tuner) output of 116kW and 188Nm already with stock internals so I cant wait to see what these cams will give me.

Also have a 3,7kg billet flywheel and a Quaife differential installed guess it will be nice when cams get in there
