Thanks in advance... 347post's to go to get my sticker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

givememorepower Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Spend circa £6k on FI. Or just buy a quicker car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N7ROP Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 Ok sounds like a plan. Since I opened this post I have realised that 0-60 was not really what I was looking for - burning chavs at traffic lights is not my idea of fun. What I guess I really want is a nice power gain between say 30-80mph. I will be fitting a pop charger, Motordyne Plenum spacer (when I figure out what is actually is and how to fit it), and an exhaust system. Do you think the above is likely to feel different at full steam ahead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greekman Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Change gear ratios...i am sure i have seen a post from Adam somewhere here....no power gains but you will be happy with acceleration! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Change gear ratios...i am sure i have seen a post from Adam somewhere here....no power gains but you will be happy with acceleration! Thats the cheapest way Plenum spacer is the only one you will feel tangible benefits of, but even then its not enough to drop you 0.8s! You'll need FI really to be doing that or some serious NA fettling. My advise, buy a faster car it will be cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N7ROP Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 But can you find a car as sexy as the Zed for just 5k more? I dont think you can....Not if you want a reasonable age also. Oh slightly away from the topic but does the pop charger have any effect on the Zeds mpg? (if you drive the same as before, so not hammering the right pedal to hear the sucker under the bonnet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 £5k? FI will cost at least in the region of £10k when you're done! Agreed, the Zed is the only sexy car in its price range though! I didnt notice any change in MPG when fitting my pop charger other than because of my heavier right foot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Changing to induction kits and upgrading exhausts tends to change your driving style to enhance the sound so in that respect it will reduce your mpg. If you drive the car the same way you are unlikely to notice the change. They do sound good though. The traders on here will give advice and prices on specific products to suit your taste and budget. The best one for you is the one you like, its all down to personal choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N7ROP Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 Thanks Chris + Martin I think I'll just go for the pop, exhaust, spacer, remap option then. That should give me 20-25 bhp? And sound like a beast! I work with a fairly small team at work but I have a Mustang Dominator, DB9, Boxster-S and Carrera to compete against so I want as much cheap power as I can get lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Buy a little board and stick it on the back. List purchase, service and running costs. That should do it. Get to a meet and the owners will make you welcome and show you all the options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N7ROP Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 Do you mean stick the board on the bonnet so they can see it in there rear view mirror! I may just save for 6 months and get a Turbo fitted. Still cheaper than going out and buying a 360 or a 911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
