You can get 160 out of a 143 VVC by fitting a better induction, the bigger throttle, exhaust mods and proberbly most importantly, a remap. You can get the ECU remapped through rally matt (not sure if he is on here, definatly on xpower) or go for an after market one such as emerald.
Does the engine come with the ECU, keys and FOB? If not you'll proberbly need to get one from a ZR160. This might be a good idea anyway as the MGF runs MEMS3 and the mk1 ZS is MEMS5.
As for the gearbox, again consider a ZR box but don't forget they have cable clutch pedels so you'll need to swap bits from your ZS.
A good place for info on this conversion will be metropower as the VVC conversion is popular into the metro/100.
Keep us informed of progress.

Hey! The engine comes with the ECU and wiring loom, But nothing about keys!?!?! isnt it possible to use your own?!
As for the clutch, could u elaborate on that? What would need doing to the gearbox on the zs 120 to make it work with the vvc engine?
All im saying is im really starting to regret getting that keg of heinikein from tesco...
Cheers
