As some of you may know I took my ZS for a dyno power run to determine the stock BHP and torque prior to doing anything to the car.

Turned up at Noble Motorsport earlier this morning and got the car put on the rollers, a few checks were done to make sure everything was running rite before the actual run. Had the proper run done and everything was spot on! Then was presented with my power graph and was very very surprised! lol me and my mate both were.

A stock ZS 110 (1.6) figures according to Parkers and Rover should be-

BHP- 107
Torque- 102 lb-ft

My so called stock ZS 110-

BHP- 123.0 at 6729 rpm
Torque- 108.2 lb-ft at 4960

SO WELL HAPPY!! just gotta figure out why its producing those figures from a stock engine and car!! I asked about over readings on the Dyno but the technician said they are spot on as he had a stock MX5 on the other day and the figures were bang on. I am going to give it a 2 BHP leniency but still very happy.

Let the modding begin lol
