Do I have an RS intake manifold or am I going nuts??

[Olimee]

Hi guys

Had my 182 a good 8 months now, Today I lined up with a fellow 182 (Blue, oldish bloke cardiff area?), anywho he gave me a nod and a rev as you dooo, so took this as a bit of a race.

Lights turned green, 1st 2nd we were both struggling for grip and pretty level, then 3rd 4th 5th i blew him out the water..

I'm intrigued as the bloke i bought it off said this seemed a particularly quick 182 i just nodded along at the time.

I decided to investigate as I've seen on ebay a couple RS mani's up and was contemplating buying one

Had a look in the dark, couldn't see anything so wapped my phone in and started taking pictures

Could see fook all then i saw the picture below, is that an S? or am i seeing things..




I'll have a propper look when i get time in the light... and when it stops snowing!

Yes you do - all 182's do

Wouldn't say having a 'RS' manifold would make much difference in the sense of blowing another 182? I could be wrong though.
Don't all/most 182's have this manifold anyway?

 

[Andyman]

No chance would it make any real term difference on its own

 

[Olimee]

Yes you do - all 182's do

Well I've learnt something new! That explains it!

-feel like a complete newb now...

Haha Cheers guys!

He was'nt trying......

 

[DaveDreads]

My 52 plate 172 has RS inlets,
I think the French just grabbed which ever inlets were at the top of the parts bin when they were putting them together.

 

[Tony Hunter]

3rd 4th 5th you would be getting to speed limit speeds, old fella having sense and backed off.

 

[Steviant]

Traffic light racing = hero

 

[LiamR172]

As said above, inlets on their own wouldnt make that much of a difference, if any

More than you can afford pal, Renault.

LOL bullshit asshole no one likes the tuna here ,,

You owe me a 10 second car.. and it better have RS inlets

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Haha.

Lmao haha

'Jesse don't. He's got more than a hundred quid under that bonnet, RS inlet!"

 

[aucky]

Brilliant!

 

[Olimee]

Ohh you guyss..

From the way people go on about RS intakes I thought they were Renaults gift to the world. -I now know better..

I think I may have a wee remap in there. I get 44-45mpg at 70mph, which seems a bit above average. And at 5krpm it kicks like i have a bo... ??

But then again could be my shiny new plugs or box pffffft :lolup:

 

[ekaJ]

5k kick is less noticable with a map, it gets smoothed out.

Sounds like the stock map?

 

[Thrust-Rated]

You run it on Vpower don't you. Thought you did. That's your answer.

 

[Olimee]

I thought they advance the timing top end for more power and reduced it low end so you use less fuel unless you gun it..

With a race set up they'd smooth out the entire thing and make it rape fuel for power

I fancy a dyno trip, anywhere in southwales anyone know of?

 

[!sean172!]

You owe me a 10 second car.. and it better have RS inlets

Haha lol

 

[Budgie]

Flol at a map changing the timing.

Nope, Tony was right. He backed off as the weather is shite and you're pushing up into silly speeds.

 

[Dan519]

Flol at a map changing the timing.

......you know it does don't you?

 

[Chris n nic]

Also you could have a good std engine that would batter a filter/exhaust/decat/map that needs all that work just to get it to std ish power....are you getting RS mani confused with RS2 setup?

 

[Andyman]

Flol at a map changing the timing.

Nope, Tony was right. He backed off as the weather is s**te and you're pushing up into silly speeds.

He means ignition advance not mechanical timing

 

[Cup_Phil]

The map changes both the ignition timing and the mechanical timing

VVT yo!

 

[Dave..]

I hate this thread.

 

[Dan519]

I hate this thread.

but why?

 

[Olimee]

I hate this thread.

You can always press the little cross in the corner and make the big scary thread go away..

This normal mine has the rs stamp on my 172

 

[cliogek]

I still don't understand the exact difference between an 172 and 182 inlet?
It's not only the RS on it, are they better matched or is it something else?

Has someone a before and after RS182 inlet bhp grafic?

 

[MarcoB]

......you know it does don't you?

That is funnier than the OP!
