Mods for 172

[FlameR]

Now I've finished doing cosmetic mods to my car, just wondering what peoples opinions are on engine/breather mods. I've got a s/s exhaust and BMC CDA with caf. There much point in getting inlets matched, decat and remap?

 

[Timmay]

how much you willing to spend?

 

[kully]

yes , you will release a few for ponies and car will be more driveable , meaning it will give a better response when driven

 

[FlameR]

how much you willing to give me? lol

I dunno, prob do it over a period of time seeing as my insurance has just anally attacked me

 

[kully]

you will need about 500 quid for the work suggested .

 

[FlameR]

yeah I could get a decat and the matched inlets for about 250 and remap is around 295 I think.

 

[Timmay]

i will give you tuppence?


remap would be a good start imo

 

[FlameR]

I would have thought a remap would be best after the other mods??

I am currently in the same position as you.. S/S exhaust, ITG filter with BIG airfeeds into airbox.

Wouldnt bother telling the insurance people about inlet work, its pointless as they cant tell if it has been matched or not as everyone is different.

Spoke to a few people about inlet work and a remap.. everybody reccomends the inlet work and the remap just brings everything together plus abit more power(and raised rev limiter!)

Apparantly the above mods are even more noticable on a PH-1

So thats why i am going down to GDI in a few weeks time when they get a PH-1 ECU in for the remap lol!

I'd do it. It's transformed the way my car drives with the same mods.

 

[FlameR]

thing is my exhaust is pretty loud as it is, without a decat. And from what people on here say it makes it loooads louder!!

 

[Nigel]

It is louder, but when giving it the beans you'll have the biggest smile on your face!

What exhaust do you have?

Have you considered a sports cat?

 

[Timmay]

im tempted by decat myself - just cant be doing with the hastle of putting cat back in for the MOT

 

[FlameR]

I've got GDI one, its really nice. Looks and sounds mint.

Sports cat are bloody expensive considering its just a cat with less cells than standard. 300 chuffing quid.

 

[kully]

remap should be the last thing on your to do list after all other mechanical mods .

I wouldnt pay that much either!

Try exhausts UK Sheffield, they do 200cell sports cats fitted for around the £150 mark, with lifetime guarntee aswell. I may go and get one myself

yeah i guess - im totally clueless when it comes to engines lol:dapprove:

 

[kully]

atleast i spelt it right this time :rasp: , it all comes together nicely after the remap .

 

[FlameR]

would be interesting to see a modded 172 vs standard.
with the modded one having inlets matched, decat, remap, induction kit and s/s exhaust

gold star for kully!

i compared my cup modded to another cup and i can pull away from the start .

 

[FlameR]

nice. I really want to sort out those mods then maybe do a bit of weight saving to get it to cup weight

 

[Gray]

What mods have you got Kully?

[Gray]

whats the exhaust like with a decat mate? Is it really loud on motorways and when cruising?

 

[Turner]

Motor ways are fine as i can hardly hear mine at 70-80 its 2k-3k were its a bit ear defening resonating but like i say other than town driving its a mint sound
