Zt ecu into a zs?

redzed · 11-09-16, 07:55 AM

Anyone know if this has ever been done? Reason is I want some tuning done of my race Zs as the current map isn't up to the spec and no one here in Aus can do much and the Siemens unit is pretty basic. Thinking of putting in a zt ecu and loom as they're more common over here and I was thinking the zt as its not seimans might be easier to use. The other option is a whole new custom ecu and loom which will be expensive so was thinking the zt route might be better.

Thoughts?

Thanks guys

All KV6's use the Seimans ECU, there are a couple of variations on the way it is connected in the ZT but I suspect this is more to do with the ZT being can bus than to do with running better.

Ah ok I was under the impression they used a different ecu, weird how the superchargers work on them better than the zs

Maybe the ZT map is different due to the differing cams/timing and induction used?

TBH I'd never heard of the supercharger being added to the V6 ZT, just the V8.

theres quite a few running here in Aus theres two that drive around near me which have them. They never seem to have issues either.

Sprintex offered a Supercharged ZT in Oz, IIRC as a standard fit through the dealers.
