That ad says it's a 1.8 VVC turbo, no correct me if i'm wrong but isn't the 1.8 VVC 160 bhp and the 1.8T 160 bhp? Or is this a case of him putting VVC in the title to get more hits?
How easy/expensive is it to stick a ZT turbo, exhaust and manifold on to a ZS and tweak the ECU?

There was talk of someone turbo charging the vvc engine and getting 260bhp... but in this case I think it is a case of him putting VVC in the title to get more hits....

If its just the manifolds and turbo... then it should be fairly straight forward and you could then resell the engine as a 1.8 (non turbo - 120bhp) lump for similar money??

When I told a pal of mine that I was looking into buying my 180 Zed he found this pic somewhere on the net of a ZS with an Audi 1.8 turbo conversion. Him being a big Audi nut ( we're on our way to turning his into a monster!) recons the block is out of a Seat or A3 1.8t. Says they are about 160-170 horse but behing a turbo have many mods to get them silly BHP...

Thats a ZR...

But yes, Martin @ Rayland undertakes this conversion - Should anyone want one

And anyway how would a groundskeeper know what is good and what is not

your nearly right willie !.
My zs is currently at reyland undergoing this engine conversion , it uses the audi tt 225 bhp engine but tuned to 270 bhp and similar torque .

Dave

p.s you can pick one of these audi 225 engines up on ebay for 1200 quid.!
