supersprint manifold for 172

[ludaprix]

do supersprint make an exhaust manifold for a ph1 172??or is the standard item good enough?

 

[Fred@BTM]

no they don't

the "best manifold" for sensible money is the 182 unit

i quite like the 172 manifold though

 

[ludaprix]

cheers mate, any news on the ph1 decat??

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah it didn't fit in the mk2 jig, so they're making another jig

 

[ludaprix]

ok kool, any idea about how long it will take?

ive got a k-tec decat with the silencer in it, would yours be better for performance as ktec has the silencer??

 

[Fred@BTM]

errm depends on the design of the silencer

 

[ludaprix]

ah ok i think ill wait till your decat come available then try it,would it make a difference to back pressure if im running only 1 silencer then?

 

[supersprint]

Would 172 owners be interested in having a Supersprint manifold?

 

[s88urd]

think it would be something worth looking at matey

 

[Middo]

you could pretty much count me in if the price is right.

 

[supersprint]

I will get the ball rolling and come up with some figures and timescales.

 

[supersprint]

Can someone answer my question.

Would the 172 manifold be similar to that of the 182?

And the 4-2-1 from the 182 doesn't fit the ph1 head either so dont buy one the ports are bigger...
If it fitted there would already be one on my car

172's have a 4-1 btw
Also fitting a 4-2-1 from a 182 to a 172 ph2 doesn't mean yu get 10bhp either.

Since when? :clown:

We need longer(182 4-2-1 style) Supersprint manifold 4-1 with bigger diameter then OEM.

 

[Fred@BTM]

just port out the 182 manifold, we had to do that on the cup (head had been worked)

 

[RichMcc]

OMFG why did no one tell me this! Everyone always said no it doesn't fit blah blah blah

 

[Fred@BTM]

i'm not sure how much bigger the mk1 exhaust ports are, i'll await ben's knowledge

 

[RichMcc]

I've never been able to find the answer question to that either!
If it really wasn't much I'd get the meg manifold but thats a different kettle of fish

 

[Fred@BTM]

i'll have a gander at yours, its sitting in the engine room making friends with the porsche gearbox

 

[RichMcc]

Sweet!
If the meg manny will go on with a little grindage then I will be back.. and keep those vel satis pistons hehe

Fred: Is there any difference between 172-182 exhaust metal seal?

 

[Fred@BTM]

mk2 172 and 182 are the same from memory
