160

[chrisds]

does anyone know if you can fit a zr 160 engine in a mk 1 zs 120+

[RalphG]

The engine will fit physically, however you would need the ECU from the ZR to control the VVC mechanism.

thanks i thought it would fit , it was an idea i had wile cleaning my zs today.

I'm assuming with the extra weight of the zs it would run less than 160 so would it still be worth it?

[afcbadam]

it will still be the same engine power regardless of weight

Well its gonna be more than 120 isnt it.......

It was something I was thinking too, why there was never a 160 version of the ZS....always thorght it was a big jump in power.

[afcbadam]

if they had made a 160 the power of the 180 would have had to be upped thant proberly why

if you look on the net you will find that the zs isnt a lot heavier than the zr atall. it is only the tinyist bit. i always would have thought the zs is a lot heavier but the difference isnt that noticeable

Thats quite interesting. I thorght the same really that the ZS would be quite a bit heavyer than the ZR.

But still if they did do a ZS 160 then upping the power of the KV6 in the range isnt a bad thing :mbounce:

A 160 would of sat nicely in the range. Then they could of used the ZT 190 engine as the range topper.

[afcbadam]

just looked. the zs is only 100 lb heavier than a zr. proberly the weight of 2 alloy wheels

[Boot Hill Bandit]

yeah or better still.........

stick the 1.8 Turbo engine in the ZS :beer2: oh yeah baby! :devil: mind you with my gear changing/engine braking antics that wouldn't last long :laugh:

It's okay folks.........joke for Ralph and Wilko ;) I'd be buggered if I can snap that cambelt on my van :rofl:
