the GT35 is rated to 770bhp! mad. There is a guy with a 500 bhp zafira gsi running the GT35, it generates so much heat he is having to run 2 massive radiators and no thermostats. The temp gauge goes from stone cold to hot just blipping the throttle.
nice thread! lots of money spent there....i like the idea of the wastegate straight onto the mani's, but im not sure there is enough room or that kind of manifold available for the t-series...might see what my good friend "the welder" can do at work
yea on a zs there isnt much room. Tbh you dont need to spend much on these astras as the standard internals are rated to 320 bhp. god id love power like that lol
Nice thread on the ZS looking forward o seeing more progress. Nice astra thread too. However a true rover built car will bemuch better. Cant wait ti see a 300bhp mgzs.
wooohooo fantastic i cant wait to see some pics.!!
Sensible head on now......with 301 bhp and 340 and weighing 1005 kilos mine is silly quick, it out paces all sorts of exotica, however imo it could handle another 50 bhp as it stands and retain its composure. Mine has most parts modiified however, i dunno what spec yours will be but imo a good idea could be variable boost control because for a road zs at full weight 350 bhp will be pant dirtyingly scarey every time you plant the throttle (and you will need some good supporting mods to keep it all under control), then when conditions allow you can ramp up the boost and go super pursuit mode,lol.
i cant imagine what 450-500 will feel like, mine spins 3rd up in the dry ....it will be just incredible, good luck and keep us posted.

Turbo Powaaaah FTW.
the zafira on there that has 500bhp iirc runs a 0-100mph in about 8.5 seconds and has a recorded top speed of over 180 mph! Although the owner often has problems putting that power down
now thats one bus i wouldnt mind been dropped of to school in!
Few pics for people!
First one:
Here's the heart of the whole operation....its a Garret GT3071R capable of between 300 and 460bhp! (hell yea! )
Brought it second hand (HUGE risk i know!) but i can see its virtually unused and from initial playing it seems perfectly fine.
Second one:
Heres my brand new Spax RSX537 coilovers, got them for £528 from Silverstone Tuning (<VERY VERY good!!) with free delivery, bloody bargain in my opinion!
the biggest problem you,l have is keeping that right foot out of the carpet...... I,m seriously thinking of selling the scoob before my license goes in the shredder . last week I fitted a larger turbo , the temptation to ahnilate all and sundry is more than I can control lol
However a true rover built car will bemuch better. Cant wait ti see a 300bhp mgzs.
