what bhp could you get out the 182

[Dyewitness]

speaking to someone who is thinking about getting a 182 but wants to hit 200/210 bhp....is this possible?

 

[Dan##]

anythings possible, depends how much money youve got!

 

[CocoPops]

GDI/y0z2asport got 200 out of a 172, so Id say it was easy enough to do the same with a 182.

 

[cnic69]

Spend 6k with Ktec and they reckon 240bhp with a nice shiny turbo

 

[edde]

There quite a few ways to thats sort of power Throttle bodies sound great though.

 

[BenR]

Anywhere uptop 260bhp can be had without hassle and a touch over 300 with some serious work.

Like its been said before, depends how fast you can afford to go.

correct we did, and it sounds awesome, mid range punch is amazing

Has anyone actually had a turbo conversion yet? Im seriously considering it in a couple of months, BB performance said their turbod 172 topped out at 160 on the autobahn

..not many have that kind of cash in one hit, so they prob wont sell many...you will be in a fairly exclusive club eh Dave

Can it be done without a decat?

Im very interested in getting the work done, but i dont want to lose the cat. Any suggestions?

 

[Ben j]

y not?

 

[Big G]

Id just like to keep the cat (possible sports cat?); dont people have problems with the engine management light / exhaust gas warning light after a decat?

Wouldnt like that either.

 

[rmccardal]

Its nothing to worry about if youre going to be spending big bucks.

 

[BenR]

300 quid to stop a light comming on?

dont be soft!!!!

 

[Big G]

If it was avoidable, then thatd be ideal but i dont have a huge problem with it

 

[Fred@BTM]

Good lad!!!!!

if you MUST keep the CAT, you can consider the k-tec sports CAT, but TBH id go full decat, these engines respond much better without the CAT

youll have no problems with lights on the dash

Its going to cost me more than that

 

[y0z2a]

i think for 5,000 quid you will hit 220 - 230 without too much hastle.

How much of a ballache is it to swap over the decat for the old cat converter at MOT time? Ive heard that it takes ages as the bolts are almost impossible to get at.

 

[haitch]

..if you go for a Prospeed Charlie will make it easy for you to change the decat back over come mot time, its just a few bolts, and if you didnt fancy it your local garage would oblige for a few £

 

[CocoPops]

On the 182 it is VERY easy to swap over.

Its is one clamp and 2 bolts. The 172 is harder because, the manifold design puts the 2 bolts further torwards the engine.

or if youre near birmingham, i can put you in contact with my MOT place

Sorry to hijack the thread, but can 200 Bhp+ be achieved without making the car louder?

Im under the impression that a de-cat would be quite loud.

 

[BenR]

so long as you spend the time on the exhaust system, then sure, no problems
