MG ZS VVC conversion

[lolsteve]

nah 1.8t conversion's easy, well it is if your willing to pull the engine z and f do a ecu and replacement sensors so you can just drop it in and plug and play

Ah bum, maybe something to consider for my zr or if I get a zs like this

I do like these rovers mind, There should be good data for setups ( f*ck knows where you will find it), as Rover used these in the btcc.
A vvc 400 wasn't really heard of back in the day ( well no one would mention this conversion). I think the T series turbo may have been more favourite for the bigger rovers back then, rather than the K series stuff. Not sure how plug in play the looms are from the R200 stuff to these. As I haven't really read up on the big rovers, only thing is will it be as quick as the v6 one, ( know thats an expensive engine to sort out, plus that engine was used in the btcc too I think)

I'm starting to quite like them too, feel a bit better built than the zrs (although shite on a stick is better built than them) T series is still popular for the zrs but this was a lot easier to do It's very nearly plug and play just had to splice in the 3 vvc plugs and cam sensor and (in theory) she should run
It won't be as fast as a v6, it isn't a full 160 engine so might never run as well as a proper 160 although neither does mine. But it will be easier on fuel than a v6

Sounds like fun. Had my K series (only a 1400 mind) tweaked by Moto-Build as I wasn't so clever with the spanners back then. Considered the 2.7 V6 as a swap for a while.

Ah seen them on ebay seeing poly bushes, how much did you get out the 1400?

so is this one just as fast as yours? Or is it even slower? D:

I'd hope it'd be slower with it being a heavier(but nicer) car and a not true 160 engine. But it's suspension system is superior with double wishbone on front and independent rear it is a Honda in disguise after all
