Zs180s not as quick as modern cars now??

[kev mocko]

Il let mg zs steve try it out n the weekend see if he thinks the vis motors are ok or not,just seemed a bit of a struggle with that insignia but twin turbo im not surprised,what sort of rev range should the power range build up on the 180s? is it just over 3k should feel quite a difference? cheers

It should be a very noticeable tug at 3-4 revs. The difference between a knackered vis and a working one is quite a difference, bought another zs last year which had a knackered system and i couldn't believe the difference. Also the zs will be transformed with a few mods and come to life. be worth doing a back to back on two zs with a non working and a working. youd be quite shocked.

Think really that's the issue here.

When I came down and RRd "Red" it gave 146bhp - yours was 185+ IIRC. That's a huge difference in power let alone torque. I then replaced my vis motors and am sure it was stronger although didn't test it again.

My current car has been tested and working motors gave a RR of 184 and she just feels quick.

Bear in mind aswell that these guys in their Insignias etc are just booting it everywhere on a company fuel card and they are worth 10 times what our ZSs retail for. We have decent performance cars that outperform most if they are working properly

I'll stick the SG2 on first and check for codes. As you have my old loom fitted it will have the old splices for the vis indicator still present, so will take 10 minutes to connect it up to see whats happening. Ive got spare VIS also if needed. If you have got a duff VIS and we can sort that out, coupled with the SS exhaust and sports cat it will feel like a different car.
