£980 to spend. Spec me some mods :D

Just heard back from Janspeed

Hello,

I have delt with many MG ZS's in the past and so my personal recommendation on extracting more power from the 2.5L engine would actually be:

Induction system (for air filtration)
Sports Catalytic converter
Cat back exhaust system

I would personally use our performance manifold's as well but these would take you over budget. The brilliant thing with all of our equipment is that you can buy each piece separately, so if and when the time comes you can always purchase the manifolds later!

The equipment listed above, induction kit, sports cats and exhaust system, should see you a gain of around 15-20bhp. They will also aid the vehicle to rev harder and easier. One of the most important factors in performance tuning for road use is the feel of the vehicle. Having a more responsive and eager engine is actually just as important as outright power.

Using a sports cat will actually help you with sound as well. Cars running de-cat systems are generally quite loud, where as our sports cats, although free flowing, actually suppress the exhaust noise to give you a seriously pleasing exhaust note. The V6 in the ZS is naturally a very nice sounding engine, however the Janspeed exhaust system has been tuned to increase the volume slightly above standard noise levels so when under hard acceleration the noise can be herd in the cabin while at cruising speeds it is well suppressed.

Including delivery and VAT the total cost of a sports cat and full exhaust system is:

£610.99

I will however trim this cost to £600 as per your original budget.

I hope this helps you. Feel free to contact me via email or the phone number listed below if you have any more questions.

Good price?

Plus is the Janspeed induction system good? or would I be better off finding my own BMC CDA?

Thanks

Janspeed use the BMC CDA iirc

Ahh gotcha

When the cheque clears me thinks I'm gonna be placing an order.

Thats the breathing sorted, and 380 to spend on it elsewhere. I reckon some new tyres are in order as my current ones are virtually slicks

I'd say that price look reasonable enough. My rough guesses on the full prices are:
£300 (cat back)
£250 (sports cat)
£150 (BMC CDA)

meaning you are saving about £100 over what you'd buy them separately.

Sweet! I'll order these next week sometime.

EDIT: I think I'm gonna spend that £380 on a remap....get the car closer to 200bhp

do you want straight line pace or a to b pace ?
straight line just go for induction and de cat ,cat back gives no power gain ,sounds better though.Re maps arent worth doing either imo.

personally id go for mods that will improve a to b ,either blow the whole lot on a quaife atb lsd with rally matt or fit a set of toyo r888's ,either will make you car much quicker from a to b than the 10 or so extra bhp you will gain from basic engine mods.
Side by side with another zs 180 ,10 - 15 bhp will pull you about a car length clear on a long drag right through 3rd gear.Were as 888's or an lsd can make up a real big on the tarmac gain.
