Frayz's Inferno 182 - Back in the old flame

Reckon a twist fit bracket here would work? Ignore the gash gauge holder top. The base twist fits into dash instead of speaker grill.
What we need is something that replaces the removal ashtray that can then have an offset cup holder attached, off the side of the centre console…if that makes sense? That way it can be removed nice and easily and doesn’t require drilling/glue

Cheers chap.
Craig and I have been swapping ideas about this for months and months now, and what with both of us having young families etc it’s taken a bit longer than expected.
Craig has been working very hard on getting all the I’s dotted and T’s crossed to get us this far. Laser cutting, machining billet parts, powdercoating and getting the nets made has all taken longer than expected.
This is still in need of a couple of tweeks but for the most part, this is a finished item.
Huge thanks to Craig (@CFAB) for all his hard work on this, he will be talking pre-orders on these soon.

The clubsport net and bar looks very at home in the 182 and I couldn’t be happier how it’s come out.
As Frayz has said I need to alter the two middle plates and netting to suit the new locations and then il be taking pre orders/deposits off people who are interested.
Il do a big write up and picture thread/for sale post soon.
Huge thanks for Frayz being test dummy here…. Mine and his attention to detail means we can create the nicest clubsport bar on the market 👌. V0.2 coming soon.

I’m working tomorrow mate so had to do it today. It’ll look like it’s done WRC GB by time we get there anyway. 😅

So following up with @04-182 about this, I wanted to be able to attach the feed to the ITG but not sealed as I didn’t want to provide a restriction.
I wanted the intake to be able to breathe from both the feed and inner wing.
A bit of head scratching and drawings too and from and @04-182 has nailed it again. Thanks so much.
Only test fitted this evening but for a first print, it fits perfectly.

So I’ve fitted up the inlet adapter properly and repeated the test.
It would appear as though the ACT drops to ambient much faster than before. I had a 22c ambient and after a small cruise I let the car idle for a few minutes and temps rapidly rose to almost 50c.
Moving off and back to cruise for a couple of minutes I was able to get the ACT in the ITG down to exactly 22c again. This was not achievable before, all be it by only a few degrees. Once hot, it never made it back to ambient without the adapter.
One thing I have noticed is the radiant heat soaking the carbon airbox. The airbox gets very very hot and once hot will only be passing that heat into the inlet charge. The airbox is very close to the top rad hose and this is chucking out heat like nobody’s business!
This soaked heat on the carbon is why I think the temps climbs so quickly when the vehicle stops moving. Even stopping at a junction the ACT rises rapidly. So I may look at adding some kevlar foil sheet to the underside of the airbox to see if this improves it.
So it 100% works from a charge temp perspective. However I’d like to get it on the dyno and run with/without it fitted to see if it’s causing any restriction at high RPMs. Certainly doesn’t feel much different but who knows.

What are you doing to protect against water ingress from the caf? Reason I ask is that I have had similar setups in the past including open foam filter in that area and when driven in the rain the filter gets wet on one side, very concerning. when I had a Maxogen I ran a caf similar to yours but from fog light and when I looked at the inside of it a couple of weeks later the metal that holds the inside structure of the hose was rusting. Maybe the caf going into the Maxogen trumpet needs to be spaced away so its not a direct fit? I applaud all the work you have done and its an amazing build to date, not trying to put a downer on it.

This is something I’m going to monitor. However I tried to prove this theory out by firing my jet washer at the intake with the engine running and zero water made its way to the top of the feed.
All I can do it test it and see.

Already got one as it ducks under the brake duct before coming back up to the filter. Failing that I’ll pop to Screwfix. 🤣Something like that would be about 8 hours.

Latest on WZD.
TL;DR - Won in induction kit, thanks to JMRS, nice kit, tried it, preferred my existing setup and swapped back lol.
Recently very lucky to win a photo competition on the JMRS Facebook page, and many many thanks to the owners for offering such a cool prize in the form of one of their induction kits. I've always been intrigued to try an open cone style setup as opposed to the ITG Maxogen I've always run. However never really fancied dropping the cash on one, so here was my chance to try and see without the cost of buying it.
The kit arrived and with all the JMRS stuff, they chuck you in some stickers and trinkets etc. Nice touch i think. The kit is really nice quality using a well made silicone one piece hose coupled to a dry foam filter from RamAir.
Maxogen removed, it fits up in minutes and although has no supporting brackets, its light enough that it stays in place well.
Warmed the car up and took it for a drive, it was very quickly noticeable how much louder the open cone is than the Maxogen, in comparison, it sounded like I'd fitted ITBs to the car! Cool as that was, I'm not 17 anymore and for me its a bit too much. As my car is my daily driver (Instagram @its_just_a_daily) I've spent a lot of time making it as well rounded as i can, and for me, the Maxogen is a much smoother and refined sound that's less aggressive and more engineered.
So with that, i serviced the ITG filter, clean, new oil etc and added some reflective thermal aramid sheet to the underside of the airbox. The product I've used is a sample i acquired that has a 2mm thermal foam so provides an airgap between the foil and item its shielding. This I'm told is much more effective at insulating and keeping heat away.
We shall see, it all helps.

Thanks mate, afraid i put it on my Instagram story for sensible money and it went in a heartbeat!
It literally covered 8 miles on my car. I loved the clean look of just the single pipe but just wasn't for me.

The new floor plates are made and are awaiting powder coat.
Just struggling to get hold of bar atm for some reason the 38mm ID tube is a nightmare to source so may have to change the measurements when machining but shouldn’t affect a thing.
I have a big batch of machining and engineering parts to collect end of the month so your/the new hooks will be ready then. And the net tweak 👌🏼

Not much going on with WZD over the winter. Wife gave birth to our little boy in January so had plenty to be occupied with.
Clio got hit (parked at petrol pump & revered into) the day before Christmas Eve which means the front bumper has a healthy scuff in it that I need to sort too.
Yesterday I carried out my yearly clean/check over of my dampers. My custom set of AST5100s have been on the car for 2 years and completed 23,000 road/track miles in all weathers and conditions.
They do 250 miles a week as my car is my daily driver. They were liberally coated in ACF50 and covered in Motamec damper covers from new.
Cleaned and ACF50 reapplied, they look as mint as the day they were fitted.
Just shows how nice they stay if you look after your investment. 🙂
In other news I’ve been collecting parts for a substantial brake overhaul soon so that should be nice. 🙂
