182 manifold on 172 cup.

[Dean0o0o.]

Noticed a cheap 2.5inch stainless 182 (looking?) manifold on ebay. Has anyone fitted this to a 172cup? Does anyone know if this will fit onto my standard CAT without any extra mods?

Cheers.

Apparantly there a pain in the arse to fit and you wont see any gains

 

[Dean0o0o.]

Does seem to cheap. Probs just 4 stainless tubes welded up. No development.

 

[Dean0o0o.]

Im going to buy a 182 manifold... what else will I need to fit this to my 172 cup?

I will be putting a full stainless system on soon, so maybe it will just be easier to replace it with a full 182 system?

 

[Fred@BTM]

its really not worth the effort, nothing wrong with the 172 manifold

You need the link pipe also to fit onto your 172 exhaust and then no cat will fit. Need a fabricated cat to fir the system from then on.

got to disagree i got a nice gain on mine, granted the decat possibly done that but 15lb/ft mid range and 10lb/ft peak torque. never dropped anything top end either as you would usually expect with a 4-2-1.

ive always told people its a decent gain, hard going to change it but worth it if you can do it urself, i wouldnt be paying anyone to change it for me.

 

[Fred@BTM]

well the quickest 172's on the 1/4mile have 172 manifolds

dyno's graphs don't mean s**t

 

[Dean0o0o.]

So the choices are... Run with 182 mani and no cat or 172 mani and normal system.

dyno graphs dont mean s**t, my opinion since i had one does

highest powered sottish 2.0 clio on standard inlet!! that was on standard cams and map too!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

did it do 13.8second 1/4mile runs though??

 

[Russ_16v]

I need to be in the 13's with my next one

 

[Andyman]

Its worth fitting one for the cat hassle alone.

What bhp ? - any times ?

Going to get a quote on a powerflow system fitted onto a 182 manifold.

 

[Kam.]

Having seen the welding by the manufacturer of these I think you would be lucky to see gains. These are not finished off in any way like a top brand like Supersprint would.
The question you have to ask is why is there no (proper) manufacturer making performance manifolds for 172's? Fred hinted at it

Don't torture yourself to this mate lol - Any exhaust will fit as long as its got the link pipe available from the usual Renault tuner places

:slap:

 

[Dean0o0o.]

^^ Haha

Seems to me... whatever I think about doing someone comes on the thread telling me not too.

Now most have said keep the standard manifold... what system would you recommend fitting?

 

[sideways danny]

powerflow system

facepalm

 

[JackJack]

Yozza or supersprint or btb

 

[Djw John]

Yup any of those 3.

Only reason Im changing to a 182 manifold is I split my cat nicely. As it was a pattern part that came with the car and it only lasted 4 years I feel I may as well upgrade. If it was just a straight replacement for a working one then I Know I wouldnt bother.

 

[daddycool]

dean0o0o i've got a 182 manifold for sale and i'll be in stotfold next weekend

 

[daddycool]

172 mani = better top end
182 mani = better midrange

that's the general feeling anyway. 1/4 mile needs top end so obvo 172 mani, but in gear acceleration should increase with 182 mani.

 

[sideways danny]

If you're going to do it, use a genuine manifold at least. Those ebay ones look dreadful.

I've just bought myself a 172 and it's getting a 182 manifold, but purely becuase the engine is out for a rebuild

i'd counter that, my experience is you lose nothing with the 182 manifold, but it improves the torque curve (removes a big dip from the mid range)

 

[Martin_172]

as ive said before i lost nothing, would still hit the limiter in 5th gear, and i gained a nice mid range. im on the look out for another for my ph1!

 

[Martin_172]

1/4 mile runs not for me, never tried one in it

 

[Luke.]

I have one of these exact ones fitted to my 172 as I got it 'dirt' cheap, i had it checked over before I had it fitted and was told the welds are okay. I have ran it everyday for the last 4months and have noticed no troubles. Its also made a massive gain along with a decat, matched inlets and a remap.

 

[Cupman29]

What was the spec of this car?

 

[Chris n nic]

well the quickest 172's on the 1/4mile have 172 manifolds

MOST of them

 

[one in a million]

i have a 182 mani for a 172 for sale let me know

 

[Andyman]

did it do 13.8second 1/4mile runs though??

It might have ran a 13.7 or less with a 182 mani

Wasn't this car the one which ran slicks, race fuel and just one seat?

[imprezaworks]

Out of interest how difficult are these to fit? Say i took it to Birchdown for them to do it. Roughly how long to fit?

Dan.

 

[Luke.]

Either subframe down or engine out.

 

[imprezaworks]

Jeez quite a big job then lol.

As a conclusion I take the fastest 182's on the 1/4 mile have 182 manifolds also

 

[Dean0o0o.]

As a conclusion.. I have a 182 manifold on the way and also a Ktec link pipe

 

[imprezaworks]

Let us know how you get on
