Perfected and finished - Inlet manifolds

[capturedbyjames]

Might be able to afford a remap now... birthday money should be coming my way. How much (ish) should i be expecting to pay?

Do you have rollers to do it on?

 

[Sunburn]

BenR can you offer remaps as well?

 

[riz]

will this affect MPG?

 

[ludaprix]

i was at bens yday getting my inlets done and spoke to him about remapping. all ill say is that he will be able to sort out remapping but ill leave it to him to confirm prices and still. and riz the inlets didnt make any difference to mpg on the drive back to reading

the inlets are the best bang for buck mod ive done on my clio, gives a noticable difference straight away with drivability and i havent even had a remap yet, but im sure ill wait until ben sorts something out regarding remaps before i go ahead n splash out.

 

[BenR]

were waiting for the hardware to arrive, so its not far off.

Pricing still to be finalised, but wont be expensive at all.

Wont affect MPG at all, if so it'll be better as less energy is lost through turbulence.

 

[Serg]

well iv got a week off in may so i will def be down then but touch wood alot sooner.

How much for a plenum and matched manifold which has been polished?

Plus my plenum and manifold in exchange.

 

[BenR]

Sorry but we dont polish them, it takes an extraordinary amount of time to polish them unless you have staff who sit at massive buffing wheels or a superfinisher.

 

[dansonamission]

Fair enough. If i wanted a matched pair, are you able to send them and once recieved by me, ill then send you mine? this way my car is'nt off the road for very long!

How much would that work out to be?

 

[BenR]

Yes, exchange basis is what we offer for mail orders.

A £100 refundable deposit is required and returned when we recieve a usable replacement core.

 

[capturedbyjames]

Will the hardware be there by Friday ??

How impatient do i sound!!

 

[caymanr26]

do you know any good metal polishers Ben? whats a superfinisher??

 

[Sunburn]

cheers for you update ben and ludapix....

im also hoping to come down in may for cambelt, inlet and remap, so that will be happy days ... an another note.. been looking at the BMC induction kit, however not sure whether im clever enough to fit it myself or not how easy is it on a 172cup?

[mr blue182]

ben's the man , will pm soon ben just got he price's for your bits mate .

 

[BenR]

fantastic.......the front lower arms are starting to move a horrendous amount during hard cornering and the wheel shakes like buggery lol.

Tim, sadly i do not know any polishers, its not something i really indulge in . superfinishing is a special vibratory surface treatment where you pop your item into a big tub with the correct media and it vibrates it till its shiny.

If you've already got it, we'll throw it in FOC as its only 3 minutes more.

 

[Sunburn]

ahh cheers BenR your a star!

Is this still worth doing with an RS inlet? Has anybody with an RS had it done and have before/after maps?

Cheers

 

[kully]

I've seen one with an RS inlet and compared with the inlet matching and theres still quite a difference between the two , ok guarantee that you wont gain alot , but every bit helps

Matt wills/ ralph wiggum both went from rs inlet's to ben r jobbies, and both noticed a difference. Ralph's car was noticeably more responsive.

Depends how unmatched your inlets are currently fella, and wont really know until they come off.

My car was making below factory figures and after fitting Ben's inlet manifold it seems much freer to rev and definatley torquier.

I'm hoping to put it on the rollers again soon to get a before and after figure.

TBH though for the money I think this is the best mod out there plus Ben's a top bloke and rattles the cups like a star.

 

[Phill1978]

this is simply the best mod for the price and will bring your car upto speed.

great work !


now get some made for the meganesport

 

[f4rt3d]

just this second got off the phone to Ben, got one of these on order

top man !!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

he's a short top man

Hi Ben,

How long does it take to fit matched inlet manifolds?

I live in Henlow (near Bedford) so your about 45 mins away for me I would just have to sort out getting out of work.

Cheers

John

 

[RacerStu]

Mines going in 2moro to have to have Inlets matched and a service, cant wait!

Hi guys,

I'm reactivating this thread, as I have some questions (I'm not native english speaking and sometime it gets a bit difficult to understand, especially technical details).

I draw a picture for a better understanding. The numbers should stand for the transition diameters.

An here are the data as I understood when I read the first article written by benR.

Clio 172 MK1 and MK2 (stock)
1. ??
2. 46.18
3. 45.94
4. 49.99 (Cylinder Head entry)

RS Parts:
1. ??
2. 48.03
3. 48.14
4. 49.99 (Cylinder Head entry)

AWT:
1. ??
2. 48.41
3. 51.00
4. 49.99 (Cylinder Head entry)

Are these numbers correct (Did I understand it correctly)? What is the size of number 1?

So my question is. has someone done a dyno test before and after the modifications? I would like to see such a Diagram, before I invest the money (As I'm from switzerland, sending the part to UK is quite expensive).

going out on a limb id say that there will a company more local to you that can do this for you, its a fairly straightforward procedure

 

[partyboy23]

hey ben,tried emailing you but for some reason my hotmail is telling me you email doesnt work????

 

[BenR]

For some reason the host is playing up and the website isnt even working.

email me direct at ben@angel-works.co.uk, the 'info' address kicks away the majority of the mail as junk which is highly annoying.

 

[partyboy23]

yeah thats the one iv tryed mailing you on is just get an email back from postmaster sayn "computer sez no" lol

Probalby you're right. But are the numbers correct? And ist there a magnificatn gain in torque?

 

[BenR]

i cant see the picture so i dont know what your asking.

 

[partyboy23]

ben u got mail

 

[ragazzi]

here's the direct link to the picture. I hope this works better...

Ben's are CNC'd so you get perfect quality everytime.
