Supercharging the 180

[XPCobra]

George you wouldn't mind posting up of what acctually gets done when the charger is fitted? as does the kv6 still run with its daft plenum chambers?

also the 2 cars that have had no problems, what abuse have they been given ( lets be honest, thats why people fit go faster parts)

Let me say, its awesome.

George

been in the Dreadnought ZT, that was scary quick

Well one car has been given absolute death, the other driven hard on road.

Both have survived for 2 years now.

The supercharged cars do not run the plastic inlet manifold. A complete new plenum is fitted to the engine which houses the charger.

As with any aftermarket product it is bound to fail within a period of time UNLESS it is fully tested, IMO these chargers are NOT, why did MGR only offer it on the Australian market on the MG ZT only?
Need I say more.

Kev G. If your going to get involved in charger debate, then please research more thoroughly.

MGR Australia initially only fitted them to Zt`s because that was the only model selling in Australia.

Later when the MG ZS arrived there, they were then going to be fitted to them, a test ZS was done, however, it was done just as MGR went under.

The reason the Zt kv6 was charged, was because In Australia, they do not like underpowered cars, and the big sedans they have all have v8s and are auto.

The ZT V6 in Auto spec, is only 180bhp, and this was 80bhp behind the v8, which the Australians deemed lowsy anyway, which is why that also got supercharged.

The issues we had initially are resolved and im very confident the product is relaible.

Like i have posted previously, im not overly bothered if i dont sell another one, the ones that have been done are unique.

I have been approached by a very large company, and have been given the task of proving my kits can be reliable, and as such, i have been given the challenge of doing two 24 hour races in a supercharged zs.

Since the Kv6 is going back into production i can only imagine this company will be doing something with them.

Theres a taster of whats coming.
