Yes mate, the 120 cams have a 8.8mm lift and the TF 9.5mm, have a look at this mate

Can i pick one up from a scrappers and what would i get one off, would i need the ecu also, any more info welcome :)

no ecu needed for a throttle body. they are on a zr 160. 4mm bigger that the zs120 throttle body. with this and a good inner wing 3-5 bhp is very possible. they come up on ebay all the time some go for as little as £30. as with the zt cams and a vvc manifold you may need a remap to set it all up correctly but not to sure, not really a k- series man but somebody will be along soon who is!

Or get the head and "gubbings" from a ZR160... thatway you have a VVC engine and 160bhp in a ZS :p

Hi Carl which garage did you use to get your cam-belt done I need to change mine soon and its always best to go somewhere that is recommened.

I would say get it fixed, there is always the risk that anything you get as a replacement could be costly.. at least with a car you know the history of you can roughly know what to expect..

*unrelated note* you probably saw my rather poorly zs as the farm while you were there :) or should that be :(

mattie007 17-01-09 06:33 PM

Yes I did! Looked very tidy, but there was alot of black fumes from the exhaust when Matt moved it out of the way.

Whats happened to it?
