it's one of the best little mods

 

[FlameR172]

how much more bhp do you gain ?

 

[Martin_172]

depends how bad the original one is, some gain up to 10bhp iirc but some gain hardly anything, what year is the car? less gains to be had if it has the RS stamped manifold

So my 2002 plate probarbly doesn't have an rs one then.. hmmmm.. possible 8+ littles horses to be released there then

theres still improvement to be had on the RS manifolds btw, just they are slighly better

Does your 03 plated 172 have an Rs Manifold Martin ?

 

[Andyman]

Sure i read in terms of porting, the rougher the casting ie non RS, the better the result as theres more to work with??

Like any breathing mods, map it to get the full and best results

Cheers guys .. i wondered about this mod and if the gain was a lottery .. this info helps ...

 

[franx]

check ebay, there's someone on here selling his.. Also polished the outside so enginebay will look nice

wont even see it because of the fuel injector guard.. ?

 

[gtruk]

oh the top bits shinney too! check out how much its going for! and 3 days left....there is a profit to be made by making things shiney!

I havent got a guard on mine, do you need one?

the RS ones seem to be matched to the head better as std.

Ive seen about 8bhp gains with RS items, and 10-11bhp on non-rs ones.

Fuel rail injector guard? Hmm id say yes. The fuel rail is at the front of the car, if you have a head on collision, it could be very dangerous. Im sure others will argue. Saying that throttle bodys are at the front, i guess the answer is, dont crash front first!

They are indeed, but there's still improvement to be made. From my experience there still 1,5-2mm You can take from the inside to make it matched to the engine head.

 

[stan*]

yes..hence i said better, not perfect
