MG ZR: Cams & Maps

[lolsteve]

Is it worth spending 100 pounds on exhaust modifications for +2bhp when the engine's not running right?

On these apparently the manifold is a proper restriction and people have seen along with a map power in the 170-175 region which is exactly the power I want enough to play with slighter heavier and more powerful cars whilst still being a daily
For the price I could just sell it on if I change my mind or at least hold onto it til I sort out the engine, the manifold alone is £250 new

steve try, nearly 1k for mine! as its going to need a re spray. The paint work is well over 20 years old and its practically un matchable, as its about 8 different shades of red!
what type of manifold is it?

I just a more accurate quote back, they'd want to take the entire roof back so that with skirts was £560. Sadly I don't think I'd be able to do that, makes your whole car seem a bit more affordable
It's a 4-2-1 janspeed with decat already heat wrapped, I wouldnt want that decat as it apparently been proved to loose power on the vvc so I could get a sports cat welded in and sell off the old cat to recover some costs

£200 is steep? Glad i have all the kit to do it myself

Really have no idea where 20 ponies have gone checked literally everything

Think you should just admit it's f*cked and get a new engine for it so I can have the old one hahah

Try £560 now
Cannot think for the life of me where it's gone, timing is fine, compression is fine, head gasket is fine. The garage/bodyshop place said they do a health check for £45 but I don't want to pay them to do another compression test and timing check to tell me it's fine when I know
