Digsy Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 IIRC the most powerful UK Zed is around the 550-560 mark. Who's doing the build and tuning for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper350Zaps Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 performance autoworks for all the mechanical side and they take it to a bloke at silverstone for ecu tuning only small company but from what ive been told they are good at what they do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 i will go down to tuners 2mor get some pics as for what im going to use it for FUN sound like a good thing i will drag it i will have 2 boost settings put on it one for the road and one for the drag strip should be lots of fun Thats what I was getting at.... It'll be great fun but it would be a fair beast on the road. I hope it's well tuned down for the road if you are using it regularly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djtimo Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 You wont reach 700whp on the stock aps turbo's mate. Ive heard they run outta puff around 600whp. You may need the uprated extream turbos with extrunal waste gates to get teh 700whp mark. In for pics and a ride in the pasenger seat when its done mate!

jasper350Zaps Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 im just going by what aps say they will run at on there web site 800flywheel horsepower at18 or 19psi on a built engine we will see how they go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Bloody hell sounds amazing! Will the car be able to handle it? I'd assume you'll struggle to get the power down and be spinning the rears in every single gear. The 430 I had for a while was like that but thats only about 450 bhp.............

sl114 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Good luck mate! If possible it would be nice to see a blog or diary of the work to get an idea of how its all going and what problems you face? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djtimo Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Jasper have you ever driven a car with 600whp? That kind of power will pull you face off at WOT! The difference in real life between 600 and 700whp on UK roads wont be extra performance it will be just less traction and more tyre smoke!!!! hahaha. I think at 600whp your gonna struggle like hell for grip even with 305 rears ! Cant wait te see how you get on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
