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

[ThRaXaIR]

Crikey, good work. just to echo what evogone said and to add to it.... now you've potentially proved the benefits are you going to look into doing a 182 manifold? i have a supersprint with the obvious advantages being the whole 4-2-1 setup that the 182 would give you as well... just curious. :D

182 exhaust manifold is even better than 172 one, so gains would be even larger. But I think that 182 manifold would be quite hard to fit to Mk1, because of little space between subframe and exhaust tunel.

i knew space was the big issue. is the 182 one significantly bigger then?

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)

Isn't the blue/black curves standard ecu and red chipped ? so he pulled to 7000 with chipped ecu and to about 6300 standard ??

182 is longer, 4-2-1 design, where 172 one is 4-1. 182 manifold is very similar to Clio Maxi manifold.

The result is very impresive!
Do you have any pics of your enginebay, I'm interested on how the 172 airbox fits.

What chip did you have? Was it the gunner chip.

Thats correct mate yes.

All pictures of the build can be found here and you dont have to be a member.

Dont think so mate as it only pulls to 7000. I have a reciept for the chip it was installed on the engine i have in 1994 so it must be an ok one!

I've a couple of 172 manifolds here Barry ;)

Thanks chris I have the super sprint on there and I think it's comparible, superchips used to do a remapped chip if I remember and maybe it's that one you have, that's a huge gain in fairness and very cost efficient versus a similar gain with cams.
