Budget about £1k-£2k realistically, I know that there was problems of the engines blowing sometimes

2k is dreaming.

yes there were issues early on with the supercharged kv6, but these are now sorted.

The price for a supercharged zs is now 3.4k

Cheers

Jumped up! That is cheap! The last official price was circa £5k.

You won't get similar gains from chipping, cams and exhaust, you'd be lucky to break 220bhp tbh and that's being kind.

Supercharging is still seen as one of those risk areas on the KV6, so many failed in the early days that it put people off, those that are offering the systems are finding it hard to get a vested interest due to the bad press.

It needs a few customers out there to soak test them and prove reliability. Hopefully the Revivals team can develop this as well on their rallycross ZS.

thats correct, but would it give the same power? same type of power? how old are the engines now. however good

its a good idea and in time i think people will go this route just because the engine is vercitile and has achieved a lot in the past, lets just hope you dont need any of the NLA seals and stuff
