The 1st F4R Manifold converted to fit an F7R (I Think)

Well i have been a busy bee recently. For those of you that dont read my project thread i have had a little bit of fun fabricating a F4R manifold (from a clio 172) to fit my F7R. I believe that I am the first person to do it. I know a couple of people had started to do it but didn’t follow it through because of the amount of work involved. I hope that this is going to be a decent upgrade to the standard valver manifold and downpipe as well as the Williams item and the aftermarket Supersprint item. Also this hasn’t cost me too much money to make just a lot of my time!

I had the inside face (gasket face) fusion welded to teh flange to allow no leakages so then i had to file the welds flat just to stop the exhaust from having poor flow.

Comments please thanks Dan

Good work, looks a neat job!

Thanks dude.

Does it physically fit does it not catch anywhere? would a 182 one have been better?

Anyone answer the above ?

It physically fits in a mk2 shell not sure on the mk1

182 manifold would be better but i didnt want to try it out on that as 172 manifolds are pennies

Well I went to Surrey rolling road saturday a few members off of cliosport and clio16valver.

The spec of my car is as follows:

Standard 72000 mile F7R
Custom made 172 manifold
Ktec decat twin lambda one
Ktec silenced stealth
172 airbox with piper cross race filter
Non pas conversion

It made 171.1 with standard ecu and then 177.2 with the chipped ecu. It does look like on the last run he backed off before the limiter of 7000 ( probably find make any more power after that)

Standard cams?

Standard cams, the whole engine is standard apart from the bits mentioned above.

That is a great result.
