Anyone know much about the mg zt in Aus? Were there many? im temped to buy this and put the engine in my zs, anyone done a zt-zs engine transplant before? im guessing its going to need some mods on the ecu.

It's the same engine and the same conversion as the ZS supercharger but why spend all that money when the kit is so much less? And ruin an smart looking car.

I'm not sure if Sprintex still supply the kit.

Given that Sprintex is an Australian company who originally developed the charger for the zt there's probably a few around.

I've just been looking at the Sprintex website, they no longer list any dealers, or agents in the UK, neither do they list any kits, or parts for MG, zs or zt

Maybe Ian took his ZS to oz or intends bringing the ZT back home if he comes back?

You're quite right Mick, looking at some of his other posts he is currently in Oz, so it all make more sense.

Hey I'm in Oz, and live just around the corner from that car. Id put a kv6 back in it, just they don't come around too often!

The Sprintex are super rare now, Nathan with the Blue s/c ZS has been trying to get hold of a replacement for ages!

Wow - expensive.

Might buy a few - ship them to OZ to sell on if they are that expensive over there !
