Cheers peps

Bonnet seems fine matey, have got a set of pins here at home but jsut aint fitted them as it seems secure to me, done 1.5k miles in it with runs up and down the dual carrage ways at errr......good speeds *cough Cough* and all's been well.

Looking good :D what sort of bhp are you hoping for 8)

Well with this engine it had 269.5bhp, BUT that was with a few problems with the engine and other things that was restricting us with the power.......i.e. the compression of the pistons that was supplied to me by Burtons was wwwaaaaayyyyyyyyy to much ie 10:1 :shock: and also had an air leak in the Intercooler that was far from helping with things :roll:

So anything over 300bhp will be nice :wink:

Any more news on this car this is one pukka engine mate, more news more pics! 8) My mate got sent the wrong pistons aswell from burton.

Am just about to update a few pics on the thread about my new engine :D

Have a look there for updates :wink:

My advise to anyone wanting pistons for a ZT in future would be to get them straight from the U.S. they are chearper and excellent pistons, ie JE, Arias etc. Avoid Accralite and Burtons :lol:
