SM inlet (RS2 style) for 182

[ADS_V6]

thanks but i think drake has a cup as well tbh stuff like this going wrong puts me off doing more to these cars

 

[Drakec]

Just got a msg back from Aytug he said he is happy to return the inlet but obviously postage costs are going to be quite high. So i think iam just going to drill the existing one. Not ideal but iam sure it will be fine as i dont want to wait another month for the inlet. This s**t always happens to me so.i dont know why iam suprised i always have to modify everything i buy!

 

[masekwm]

He should be paying the postage costs!

I assume you'll be doing the drilling yourself?

 

[midge]

Strange that the holes are drilled wrong for the TB, these are the same on all the 1*2's

 

[ADS_V6]

anyone want a inlet cheap lol

I'm after one to fit a 172 Cup if you've got one?

 

[ADS_V6]

sorry mate they dont fit

 

[bloke]

i'd be asking for a partial refund of £200 or so if it were me.

 

[Drakec]

At the end of the day its 4 holes i cant be arsed sending it back iam sure if i take my time i can sort it out. I suppose if anyone else buys one now it will be 100%.

What if it goes tits up?

 

[Drakec]

Well that is possible! Hopefully that wont happen there is a fair bit of metal to play with.

It's easy mate, to give margin for error I drilled the holes on the tb to 8mm so it's easier to centre up after

The correct coil pack mount should be sent out for mine tomorrow

It has been a bit of a nightmare but the car dose run very well, I haven't really pushed it yet want to see what the fuelling is like on the dyno first
roll on Friday

 

[Drakec]

It will be good to see the dyno results and put a positive vibe back on this thread

 

[ADS_V6]

would be nice but i think he wont get any more orders from off here being honest

 

[Hatto]

It is a shame really, he as been very helpfully in trying to sort this out but it shouldn't have happened in the first place to be fair, oh well I'm sure all will be forgotten on Friday (fingers crossed)

 

[Drakec]

If you get an extra 20bhp he will be getting more orders

 

[Hatto]

Haha

 

[ADS_V6]

not being negative cant see 20bhp would be nice,but realistic i would think 10,whos remapping them?

 

[Hatto]

My won't be mapped until November when I have 438s fitted, currently on rstuner 98 Ron map seems to be running fine

 

[ADS_V6]

been told not to run these without a proper remap hence my ecu being wiped,as the clio engine is very sensitive to this mod

 

[Hatto]

Yeah I'm still not 100% happy running like this but as long has its not thrashed should be ok
I will be happier on Friday hopefully I'll have the fuelling issues

 

[Hatto]

Sorry meant no fuelling issues!

 

[Drakec]

Ok drilled mine today worked out ok and throttle body fits fine. I also drilled the throttle body holes bigger to allow me to line the body up to the inlet 100%

 

[LeeRS]

Fkin hell... I wouldn't be happy drilling bits I have just paid that much for.
Sounds like a proper boj to me lol.
He took the time to machine these to specifically fit a 1*2 and the holes don't line up lol.
I would be on edge every time I drove it thinking something wasn't right.

Fingers crossed nothing goes bang.

 

[StuOwen86]

Has he not been back on here and seen this thread? Or just email with the people having issues.

 

[LeeRS]

He wasn't on here I don't think Stu.
Just an ebay thing.

 

[ADS_V6]

Hi i kicked off about it the seller wanted me to post it to someone who just bought one in portugal,under paypal rules i aint stupid, i have given him the benefit of the doubt and he is sending new part,if when dan sjm sees it if its sh*t i will raise a paypal dispute

 

[LeeRS]

Send what to Portugal?

 

[StuOwen86]

He wanted you to send it to Portugal as if you were 'selling it on' type thing? seems a little naughty I would be cautious too could end up getting stuffed for £8-900 quid. postage wouldnt be cheap either, probably cheaper to easy jet and hand deliver it (depending on the outcome, where the sun don't shine lol). I would not be a happy customer if that was mine and I had to drill it out, If anything I wouldn't half mind if it wasn't drilled and just left as a a block for it too be say a multi-fit and you could drill your own holes with out worrying about the other holes. (I understand what I mean reading it out in my head lol)

 

[ADS_V6]

my inlet mate he sold 1 to portugal i was going to send mine back for refund to turkey,he wanted me to send it to the next sold person if you get me.

 

[bashracing]

early production runs always have issues, even in multi million pound products,
you should give the guy a chance, it may be the next big thing, power gains wise.

 

[Drakec]

Its been a f**k up from the start to be fair. And yes its s**t that its drilled wrong but you have to remember this guy has took the time to develop this product for what is a small market for a car thats over 10 years old. He wont have the quality control of a bigger company so things like this happen. It took me half an hour to sort out its not going to blow up its under no pressure its only holding on piece of metal to another with air running throught it. I have bought many other things from bigger so called well know companies thats been utter dogshit quality. This isnt its well made and once its all bolted up you would never know its been redrilled. Buying a new product is always a risk but somebody has to do it....

 

[ADS_V6]

told me his friend made 3 or 4 wrong,he needs a slap as i say giving him the benefit of the doubt, drake who is remapping yours?

 

[Drakec]

Iam going to take it to rs tuning as its only 10 mins from my house and paul has mapped all my cars. I mentioned the rs2 inlet to him when i was down there a couple of weeks ago he didnt seem too impressed with it but i know he has mapped a few cars with it on. Cant wait for his reaction when i roll up with this on. He told me to go itbs with cams and an ecu, all well and good but thats 2.5k i dont have hence why i went this route.

 

[dci172]

I havnt bought one but it's hardly a massive mistake. I'd have welded the 4 holes up and re drilled them myself and said I wanted £50 back hardly a big job.

And drilling the wrong hole centres is an easy mistake to make really. Probably wrote the size down wrong

Give the bloke a chance and see how it performs

 

[StuOwen86]

Hopefully it turns out good and we may get some more discount if a few members did a group buy. I've been tempted by an RS2 inlet but I'm too tight lol. But it does look a good piece of kit in the pictures

 

[masekwm]

I mentioned the rs2 inlet to him when i was down there a couple of weeks ago he didnt seem too impressed with it but i know he has mapped a few cars with it on.

I drove one the RS2 cars he mapped, it made 188bhp. Others have got more by adjusting the cam timing

Lol mine made 183 on his rollers with minimal modifications.

 

[NorthloopCup]

Ph1 cable operated throttle body has a different bolt pattern to the fbw throttle. That's where the issue has come from.

 

[Hatto]

Dyno day today!
