T-16 into a Mark 2 ZS
I'll be taking the ZS off the road soon for abit of a restoration and I'll be swapping out the little 1.4 k-series for a T-16. Apart from the engine, gearbox, Rover 420 engine mounts and drive shafts what will I need? Also has anyone who has done a T-16 swap with a Mk2 ZS or ZR had much bother with it in terms of the MEMS 3 ECU and the Pektron BCU/SCU set up or with the wiring loom, any help is appreciated. Cheers guys

Pete Scott / PeteT16 will be your best bet :)

Dan re-wired his car with a 420 loom.
Don't forget the brakes. |
Yeah I'll be upgrading to 180 discs all around. I hardly trust the brakes on mine with the 105 engine lol
|
i'd also get the 180 suspension and ARB's, T-16 is a hefty lump compared to 1.4.
:) P. |
Yes, you'll definitely need the V6/Diesel suspension (both are the same).
While out, I'd change a few bits and pieces. Driveshaft oil seals: TRX100060, UNG100060 I'd check wear on the clutch, and replace if needed: T Series Turbo Clutch - B&B The Borg clutches can take a fair bit of power in the T Series application, too. We have a couple of customers running forged engines and aftermarket management with no slipping issues. :) |

There's not much difference in weight between a KV6, and a T series

So far I know I'll need: Engine & gearbox (what ancillaries from the K-series can be kept?) ECU and wiring loom 180 discs and callipers 180 suspension set up (will probably put a set of coilovers or lowering springs on it) R420 drive shafts and engine mounts. Anything I'm missing? Would I be able to use any PG1 gearbox with ZS mountings or does it have to be one from a T-series? And will the drive shafts from say a 180 do? Any suggestions/advice is appreciated Thanks lads |
Didn't someone do a complete how to guide?
