DoogyRev Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Decent Air Filter, HFC's and new Zorst with an uprev may get you closer, but from what I have seen it can very much depend on how your car has been treated over its life. ... but then whats a few HP..... you could be better off getting a decent suspension set up and tyres if your after going round corners better. Power is not always superior to handling ...... awaits comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budget? Daily driver? current mods already done? condition of rest of car? So many questions, and so little information given by you Seriously....... Do some reading through the forums - Specifically in the Abbey Motorsport and Horsham Development sections and read about UpRev for remapping.

Thus, YOUR exact question has already been asked......a hundred times over. Or you could just have searched Tune or Tuning and you would have found this thread: viewtopic.php?f=114&t=38876 Simples If you want power out of these cars, then you really need to go FI or NOS. A n/a build just isn't worth the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John tarantula Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 defo getting coilovers and wheels next week first. all down to personal taste but the Zed is the first car that I think handles well out of the box with standard suspension. Had coilovers on plenty of my old cars and the standard setup in the zed feels just as nice to me. (ie not too hard like coilovers or floaty like regular suspension) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you had any dealings with these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robcc Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Just read throught that thread thanks . It has the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 induction kits will usually lose you a couple of horsies for a kick off. Unless you run some ducting it'll just nom all the warm air in the engine and you'll get heat soak. ....'Mmmm warm air....om nomnom' that's what it'll say.

cmck13 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hi Your question is can you get 300bhp on your 276, the answer is yes. Plenum spacer, high flow cats, stillen y pipe and scorpion box remap. Leave the remap to the end but be aware that your cats will mean the engine runs lean so dont hang around for the remap. I am on 302bhp after the remap at RS tuning up at Leeds for the boys in the north. Having said all this I believe if you like to drive fast with power then get your brakes and suspension beefed up before any of this. Cheers let us know how you get on.
