throttle body kit(s)

[ja.jack]

Yep! I'm talking shite.

 

[BenR]

WHen its done i'll make sure its promoted, but i will wait until its done and tested.

 

[savvy]

quick question apart from makign this kit would we have to bring the car in shop or can we bolt on from home cause i live in trinidad so it would be kind of if not impossible to ship my car to u guys lol if i want do u make provisions so i can purchase the kit and install back home here after it ships?

 

[AliasOmega]

Its ok, he willl fit it when he comes on holiday for 2 weeks..

 

[BenR]

lol, yes you will be able to fit it yourself.

 

[ben_p]

its not goining to be a boxed ebay resistor is it ben?

 

[BenR]

s**t...........

 

[savvy]

what kinda running cost are u looking at and how easily will it be supplying instructions since i will be doing this at home lol

 

[savvy]

umm also would the clutch have to be upgraded, brakes, shocks to get a realialbe all rounded setup?

 

[Lagerlout]

Well upgrading the suspension and brakes is always a good idea.

As for the clutch - I'd think it should be ok, but it's more about how you treat it - If you hammer the clutch doing flying starts etc it's not going to last long!

 

[TheJesus]

suspension is deffo worth upgrading, not sure on brakes, I've found the 172 brakes excellent with DS2500's on tbh... will see on track tho! lol

Full Support will be provided.

You can even fly me over to your island, i dont mind....honest.

 

[mini-valver]

^Can you not walk on water then?

 

[BenR]

not for free.

 

[mini-valver]

If you can walk on water your in the wrong job!

 

[Peter.K]

^Can you not walk on water then?

Only when he plays with his magic wand.

 

[savvy]

haha kool well if i get enough money to fly u over to do the work how much u gonna charge my ass for labour lol dont mind though if i have the $$ to spare would be better having a trained person working on it rather than some other mechanic and myself also it might be good cause u could properly remap the ecu if u dont come are u going to supply a management system or do i have to send my ecu to u guys, btw has neone tried the R type rs ecu ne good reviews?

 

[franx]

up

 

[BenR]

Dont worry, its not like i will forget to put up information when its ready lol.

 

[manicmonkey]

we got a firm eta on this?

 

[BenR]

No 'firm' eta, i'm still waiting on the deposits of the last prototype testers and they wont be released until then minimum.

Apart from that, everything is done on them.

 

[bill]

any closer?

 

[BenR]

yup.

But i've had to take my eye off it a little with all of these other CNC manifolds that have been moving so fast.

 

[Clio172-DK]

Any closer now?

 

[BenR]

yea, basically done.

We'll be revealing it but, trials will be done on one customers car in the beginning.

 

[LegoHead]

Do my car!

 

[davejm123]

or mine lol

 

[BenR]

sorry guys, already sorted.

 

[bill]

cool, looking forwards to the results!

 

[Tyson-182]

Me too, Ben keep us updated!

Tys.

 

[Clio172-DK]

Any news ?

 

[Russ_16v]

im intreged by this too

 

[skinner]

^It isn't January yet.

 

[MarkM]

Ben is using my car for developement of the kit.

It has been a long wait for me but I have seen a 3D CAD diagram of what he is developing and as you would expect from Ben it looks like it will be a well designed quality item.

I am personally hoping for a 220bhp+ engine with the tidiest installation that has been produced on a clio at these power levels.

As soon as my car goes in I will post a thread showing progress. I also have an independant RR of my car in its current state of tune so an unbiased power increase can be recorded.

 

[ja.jack]

Are you getting the exhaust Mark?

 

[bill]

220bhp+ cool! what other mods has your engine got, bar what bens doing on it now?

 

[MarkM]

Are you getting the exhaust Mark?

I enquired about it. There is also a mild steel single backbox system in the pipeline which would be more my thing, mainly because it will be half the price

It would be nice to get a custom exhaust manifold done by Ben aswell, something for next year maybe.

220bhp+ cool! what other mods has your engine got, bar what bens doing on it now?

cams, exhaust, remap etc.

 

[TheJesus]

Mark, are the cams being changed as well to a wilder profile too, or you sticking with whatever was in there?

 

[MarkM]

Mark, are the cams being changed as well to a wilder profile too, or you sticking with whatever was in there?

same cams.

The same as youve got.

 

[TheJesus]

sounds interesting! if it makes the alleged power we should have a comparison to see what it equates to in the real world as both our engines themselves are stock as far as I know, so would be interesting to see...
