no ecu needed for a throttle body. they are on a zr 160. 4mm bigger that the zs120 throttle body. with this and a good inner wing 3-5 bhp is very possible. they come up on ebay all the time some go for as little as £30. as with the zt cams and a vvc manifold you may need a remap to set it all up correctly but not to sure, not really a k- series man but somebody will be along soon who is!

Or get the head and "gubbings" from a ZR160... thatway you have a VVC engine and 160bhp in a ZS

I would say get it fixed, there is always the risk that anything you get as a replacement could be costly.. at least with a car you know the history of you can roughly know what to expect..
*unrelated note* you probably saw my rather poorly zs as the farm while you were there or should that be
