FAO Those interested in AWT Inlets Group-Buy

[MikeyK18]

Reading is a gift, use it wisely my friend :rasp:

 

[GarethM]

ive had my inlets by AWT, im still to send my old inlets to Ben, but having no job as stopped me sending them to him.

i honestly cant really feel a difference in changing over the manifolds. Or certainly not 13bhp difference.

maybe a remap would sort it?

 

[stan*]

every set ive done have given a "noticeable" gain on the road (sustomer feedback, not just mine), without a remap.
On the dyno they have shown around 11bhp peak average, with a nice mid-range gain in torque.

Again, it boils down to the individual workmanship....

 

[Russ_16v]

i gues it depends also how good your original set were?

 

[GarethM]

yeah guess so russ, they werent rs stamped my old ones.

 

[Andyman]

i gues it depends also how good your original set were?

As per the gain / difference in performance after work yeah. The castings vary from car to car with these and obviously folk with the RS inlet wont notice as big a difference pre and post compared to say that of a poorly cast ph2 FF

In terms of process its basically the same for all (obviously) port to the size of the gasket

So you reckon the average 20 something male Clio Sport owner armed with a electric drill, a dremel kit and some 80 thou sand paper can do just as good a job as a guy in a machine shop?

What planet are you on mate honestly? Half the folk on here dont even know the difference between a Plenum and a Inlet let alone port the thing!

Would end up being the 'chain saw massacre' of inlets with then knock on effect group buys for stock inlets and new limbs lol

lol..theres is that.


iv built engines on the back street that the tuners have struggled to match performance of tho tbh. spec for spec. like i said..its not rocket science.

 

[stan*]

with the mini's is it?

 

[2 live]

lol.no mate


14.0s with full car .no lightening, and mild cams/remapped ecu. the car was untouchable by most tuners efforts even when they were in a lighter trim/higher spec. as u know , it was the 1 to beat for many years.

 

[stan*]

ah right!

 

[MikeyK18]

right guys, no offence but stop spamming our thread, if your not interested in the group buy then don't post.

 

[stan*]

sorry for spamming. im in. Have you got any prices fixed yet?

 

[2 live]

yeah sorry for spamming..whens delivery date on these?

 

[Coby.]

FLOL @ Stan* and 2Live

 

[Tigger]

and my thread locked lol!

For those still interested in a group-buy after Xmas/New-Year I am going to run with Jam-sport as they have the best price and cheaper deposits so cheaper for everyone all-round.
Also waiting on the result of Sean.'s before & after RR reading from this

Trev

As above

 

[marydoll]

Ben's probably sunning himself on his dad's yacht in Singapore harbour right now. Last thing on his mind is modded inlets for Clio Sport group buy. If you really feel the need to get them, I'd recommend Stan* as his rep is pretty good.

 

[Mostro]

When did RS stamped inlets come into production? ie which models have them?

And can you tell whether your inlet is stamped insitu on the car or do you have to remove it to see?

Considering this...

cheers

 

[Tigger]

^ Undo the 2 bolts holding your Fuel Rail Gaurd and slide it off to look at the front of the lower inlet.
You will see if it has the RS letters embossed onto it

No sure when they came into prodction but my Nov 03 172 has one as standard

 

[Mostro]

^ OK cool. 10mm deep socket job isn't it? Think mine's Sept 03 (53) so hopefully mine has too.

 

[Tigger]

I think its a deep 10mm, have an 11 & 13mm handy just incase lol

 

[Coby.]

BUMP

Sean has posted his Results in Brosters Thread

[jeremy]

Whats the latest with this? Has Ben got back to anyone?

 

[Coby.]

[jeremy]

[172Ben]

[stan*]

Well ive offered my services, only takes a couple of emails to get the ball rolling...

 

[Tigger]

Jam-Sport are cheapest for this folks, are we ok to run with it in Jan (2009 of course)?
What you's think?

 

[D1CKY]

I'd be up for this inlets buy whenever it takes place, just p.m me

lol...i love how forums work..

 

[mini-valver]

Pmsl, snaked.

 

[Mostro]

^LOL

I guess it needs someone to compare quotes from APD, Jam-sport and AWT (if Ben's interested in doing it), and those interested need to take an opinion on which they company they want to go with.

It's needs someone to co-ordinate it though - I ain't gonna be around often enough to do that job.

 

[stan*]

ive given a price, im not going to undercut someone who is willing to do it cheaper than its worth...

 

[stan*]

What you's think?

and for the record, how do you know the other members arent after quality as well as value?

Thats not a dig at Jam-sport, im sure their work is great...its a dig at you for assuming price is everything..
Quality costs.

 

[Fred@BTM]

its like watching a game of poker!

 

[Fred@BTM]

Quality costs.

f**king spot on!

 

[stan*]

lol

 

[172Ben]

Question for you stan.

My lower inlet has been slightly modified to allow my PTFE gaskets to fit. When i say modified i mean one fitting has been ground down a few mm so it will fit inbetween the bracket and head.

Will this cause a problem, or am i best of coming straight to you so you can modify my current inlet and plenum?

Thanks

 

[stan*]

well unless the "new" lower section is machined to allow for the extra gasket thickness, then yeah it will cause problems.

so you can either come to my workshop and I can fettle the ones you have, or tell me the gasket thickness so I can mill one down to suit.
