I beg you, come and say hello when this is done, this looks amazing dan you're such a nutter haha!
I bet there's going to be a lot of power and yeah you will probably find wheelspins galore... but give it time and you'll learn to control it and just not apply full throttle, you'll learn what gear at what speed it is appropriate to put pedal to the metal. If I see a red zed hacking it around Medway, I know who it is!

The BHP question is complete unknown as yet.... technically with the right mapping and the combo of parts i've fitted it should easily see around the 350bhp.....deep down i want it to pull closer to 400bhp @1.8bar on the rollers....but that is jus totally un-driveable in a front wheel drive car, so it'll be running 1.2-1.3 bar day to day!
I'll snap up some pictures tomorrow and post them up
and yer mine is a t-series from a 620ti, 200bhp ish standard....so we shall see!......

uumm....without a garage and lotsa space its tricky....sadly i have neither lol
In an ideal world you need a 620ti, a Rover 420 GSI and your ZS...unless you can buy the 620ti engine and components separately but that can be costly...
I took the long way around and swapped over the 420 wiring loom into the ZS, was a bit of agro but i think it will be worth it. its a proven loom i know works so my theory is that it won't have any problems.... (famous last words!)
But i think the conversion is totally worth it, and kinda fun...if i had my own garage i would deffinately be sorting out a conversion package for people by now.
