If you have a 1*2 with none RS stamped inlets then it will be more beneficial than if you do have them.

 

[Sam@NP]

Yes but don't expect much at all. Certainly worth it with cams

I fitted these to my 172 cup and it was idling at 3000rpm!!! Did not notice any performance increase at all, in fact felt slower. Not worth it IMO.

Air leak?

They are worth it if done correctly

You fitted something wrong then

Can you get the head ported and polished and the inlets matched without taking off the head?

No you cant port a head without taking it offer the car!

 

[Carlv8415]

IIRC you feed sand into the air intake (remove filter obviously don't be that stupid) and it automaticaly ports the head. The engine needs to be running for this to work.....der.....

To match the inlets you just match them to the gaskets, so no need to remove the head.
Only need to take the inlets off.

TBH I dont know why people keep posting this on here again and again, it only funny the first time really.

So fairly easy to get the inlets matched then. Who would do this kind of work?

If you talk to MWM they do them on an exchange basis and are done by Neil Roper who is as good as it gets for port work, TBH he is wasted doing silly little jobs like this really given his background, LOL

 

[Carlv8415]

Interested getting an upper inlet matched to an RS inlet. So considering getting it done based on price and gains

 

[Chip-mk1]

Gains are very small, we are talking like 3bhp or something if you are lucky.

 

[Carlv8415]

So worth the money ?

 

[The Fatty]

Ported inlet,Is it worth doing?

No. Especially if you already have the R.S stamped inlet.

 

[Carlv8415]

No. Especially if you already have the R.S stamped inlet.

What about matching upper inlet with RS inlet ?

Which for the money is a worth while mod in Clio RS terms lol.

 

[DannyR]

It's worth doing as its how they should of been from the factory!

Im afraid not. Was conned by a guy claiming they were matched and ported. Car was fine when original was fitted back on by a MECHANIC
