A Racing car is Born
Might be a tad old hat for some but I've just been mucking bout with my Sky planner and found something I forgot I set for record
A racing car is born,Marc Evans basically claiming to have build another thing himself, Westfield kit car
HOWEVER- This episode I was quite chuffed to see was with the ZR from Morrisons Garage that ran a tuned kV6 with throttle body's
The TV programme was from Years ago, but I see this same ZR still getting flung round Knockhill not so long ago, lost most of it's Oomph but still nice to see on TV an MG highly rated, Tuned KV6 ZR or TF mmmmmm temptation

I am being told a standard K series turbo can be mapped on the 135 mems ecu and a stand alone boost controller to 220bhp and made to fit the TF.

Any one got any experience ?

Not any personal experience, but on the TF the heat generated side would be a concern of mine - and I am pretty sure it would need some elements of cutting to make a turbo fit in there, not a job for the faint hearted!

IIRC the bulkhead needs fettling for the turbo to fit and the subframe needs trimming to fit the exhaust.

Ive been told just the subframe needs notching. I will have to see if I can find a cheap one to play with.
