MG ZS Turbo *Project Part 2* Results*
 

LAST PAGE UPDATE :)


Well guys and girls, i thought it about time to sort out a bit of an update. I've thrown it into another "project" thread for various reasons, the main one being the first part of the project is mostly now done, so now i can start on various other bits and pieces!

I left the last project thread with the cars FIRST start on Omex management! Quite a bit has changed since then.

Intercooler and hardpipes:
After i decided my intercooler would not be suitable for what i needed i had a change around, i purchased a larger RMD intercooler from Rally Design, its a fair size and was a massive struggle to get it mounted without fouling the fans and bumpers. But seems to be holding IAT right down low!

Oil cooler:
My old oil cooler was obviously front mounted and the pipes were in a hideous location, so i opted for a newer slightly smaller unit, i also threw on an oil thermostat to make sure my oil reaches temperature correctly and is not over cooled.

Fans:
I opted for 2 new kenlowe fans to help maintain water temps, i am incredibly impressed with the units, they run for less than 30 secs and drag temps down lovely. Can highly recommend these units!

Turbo cooling system:
For various reasons i was forced to run a stand alone turbo cooling system, it involved an electric water pump, expansion tank and moto-X radiator. It worked great but took up ALOT of under bonnet space. So i hooked into the current water pipes and have managed to supply the charger with water after it circulates through the heater matrix.

Interior Mods:
I now have a PLX multi gauge mounted in place of the water temp gauge, it registers water temp, oil temp, AFR and oil pressure, in my opinion it looks pretty snazzy and looks nearly OEM :) I've built a car computer also into the centre console to monitor the Omex 600 once up and running ;) while i was there i also thought it rude to NOT throw in some corbeau Sportlines ;)

Fuel pump:
The current ZS fuel pump was on its way to being in over its head, so a swirl pot arrangement was obviously required. The standard ZS fuel pump is used as a lift pump to fill the swirl pot, a bosch 044 then feeds -6AN teflon fuel lines all the way to the fuel rail and back again after passing through a Sytec fuel regulator.

So.. After a week of mapping at ATSpeed Racing in Essex, she's back with results! At 1 bar of boost (14psi) she pulled....

322BHP & 292ft/lb
:mbounce::mbounce::mbounce:

I personally think that is a cracking result at 1 bar!

I had a little go on a private road (:joker:) and wow....she is fast... insanely fast! :thumbsup:
