What sort of Power am i looking at.

[Ali]

Rite...Not asking to debate the mods...Just a gestimate.

As std the car ran 171Bhp and 149 torque

New mods:
Full K-tec stealth (No decat)
Ram Air Carbon IK and Hill power bend
Stage 1 inlets/head
Dastek remap
Piper Cams

I would hope for early 190's Very late 180? Wat do you lot reckon?

Similar mods to Gary G who runs 197bhp on his 182 so I would say you are about right with high 180s

Other 172 cars here have had:-

Inlet/manifold match
Maxogen
182 Exhaust manifold
SMT

and got 190bhp and 180lb/ft torque approx.

Go for this first then see if you want more power with the cam and the porr fuel consumption to go with it.

 

[Ali]

^ 180lb/ft WOW!!!! Bothered about the fuel consumption!

 

[Gary G]

I can easily average 38-40mpg driving normally with my modifications Piper's tick a little but that doesnt really bother me.

Was gonna PM you earlier but you wern't online...How much did it cost you to get ur pipers put on? did they make a difference?

 

[Gary G]

Cam swap is a fair few hours iirc mate...think most places would charge around the £300 mark (6hours or so) plus parts. Pipers are a cheap option and if Ben's were available when I was in the market then I would have gone with them instead (despite the cost). They're more expensive as they are billet and not a regrind like the pipers...Ben's put alot of work into the development of his profile and imho his are best. Rmcardal's car runs crazy power considering its not running ITB's! I think Andy at GDI is wanting to change his Shrick's for Ben's also.

 

[Ali]

£300! Fcuk me Over! Gary did you have ur's RR'd before any mods?

 

[Gary G]

Think its about £600-700 all in for piper cams.

...didn't RR it mate but tbh I definately felt the difference lol

Cams are easy enough to fit, we've been fitting them for yrs...We've got the tools for TDC. But i wouldn't feel happy about doing it to my own car! lol. Argh.
