212bhp Only on TB's.

John's was the fastest mving mk2 172 until her modified it.

I've always loved this video makes me want to keep go and build a TB sleeper.

Very quick engine I think it say 150mph in Germany with more to go.

 

[The Big Yin]

That thing is awesome on full pelt I'd forgotten i'd put that up was ages ago

Alan C iirc thats his username is doing something similar im sure

 

[Phill1978]

sounds like an old aeroplane really nice gargle at low revs as it gulps in loads of air.

mint as anything ive heard

 

[GarethM]

is a good vid, sounds awesome

 

[R20 CWH]

212bhp Only on TB's.

+ £2,5Kish i believe?...........bargain imo.

If i keep my 172 and get a mileage hack id be mega tempted :approve:

Had the throttle bodies but was selling them soon afterwards to someone else I think.
They were very cheap though for the money they cost to make originally they would have ben a good buy to anyone wanting more power.

 

[Fred@BTM]

i mis that car , i remember doing 150 on GPS in it

that car was the first UK 172 TB car (Roamer paid all the development himself)

 

[R20 CWH]

Was it £2k ish installed etc?

 

[Fred@BTM]

double that and add some more

 

[R20 CWH]

nice.

ah well ill need to review my budget LOL. 212bhp tho it is so tempting.
You not tempted to plump for that in your engine 'update'?

 

[Fred@BTM]

na, i'm going turbo

 

[GazCB]

That's nice, I wish they hadn't stuck SoaD over the top (or whoever it is) cos I can't hear the fecking clio!

I just noticed he's almost ruin out of petrol and his dashboard "STOP" light is illuminated.

 

[Maz]

Nice one .. sounds sweet

 

[FullThrottle182]

that sound is mental

 

[fmp_]

damn i miss the sound of my old saxo T/B's!

i best get saving for the clio!!

 

[M1TCH]

sounds very nice!! looks bloody quick too.

fao mods: is flat out in 3rd gear 30mph??

 

[Djw John]

Yeah Mitch, he had a short ratio gearbox put in

 

[M1TCH]

ohh yeah must be, silly me!

 

[2 live]

sounds sweet............RIP

 

[Adam]

love that vid....
soooo want tb's

 

[haitch]

worthy kit for 4k, roll on crimbo time, best bit is on the rollers in the vid where you can just hear that heavenly engine, wouldve liked to hear the drive without the gay music, trouble is everybody puts music over their vids, if i wanted to listen to music id put on the ipod.

 

[cK]

Couple of weeks and mine will be done

 

[Gaz_]

how reliable are they in day to day operation, i have some major ££ burning a hole in my pocket, but not sure what to do....

oh hmmmmm

 

[Fred@BTM]

all depends on the mapping gaz

 

[Gaz_]

if i say was looking for around the 200bhp figure what parts would i need? already have filter de cat + zorst.....

drop me a pm with some rough prices and parts needed

cheers

 

[GazCB]

how reliable are they in day to day operation, i have some major ££ burning a hole in my pocket, but not sure what to do....

oh hmmmmm

get a house

oh hmmmmm

Day to day dont bother the noise and mpg would be awefull plus they rnt very user friendly cold start etc..

 

[R20 CWH]

cold start? normal enginer has to put up wi that?

perhaps tan in your mpg (20mpg) but you are bumping up the bhp + torque + *****ing around with the ECU

 

[James.]

Not seen a TB video on here in a while good stuff!

 

[matty w]

the huger kit that k-tec sell would be a good option for you gaz,they've made hundreds of them

 

[Laura]

awesome, but the electrical fault light and serv lights r on lol

 

[fmp_]

a t/b setup mapped well will drive and perform as well as, if not better than a standard setup. as been said, its ALL in the mapping (well, and depending on cams you use!)

 

[matty w]

as already said its all down to who's mapping it,if mapped properly there shouldnt be a problem as its accurate fueling

 

[haitch]

Chris K you having the 'basic' tb setup? or are you uprating other parts eg wossner?

 

[tomehb]

an Chris, why did u not get them done at Jenvey?

 

[WeeGad]

Just hope my clio will sound and go like that once i actually get it back with the TBs fitted!!!!

Although it will be a bit heavier what with my bodykit and install!!

AlanC is thinking about TBs again i think unless something else pops into his head!! lol
