i only had my zed for a week and want to go faster any ideas on how to do it cheaply????its got exhaust upgrade its been de-catted and stainlless pipes from manifold to backboxes,any advice and its a auto???????

You've had it for a week and want to go faster already!

Talk about an adrenaline junkie!!!

Press the pedal on the right down further.

 

Get some better tyres so it dosen't wheel spin so easily.

 

For serious power upgrades you are looking at lots of money.

 

Bigger injectors, bigger turbos, forged pistons etc etc.

 

Do a search for power upgrade, you should find lots of stuff.

First you need to check its running correctly, before you think about power upgrades, I'd say at least a quater of all those I look at are running in Safety mode without the owner ever realising, and most of those that are not are running with faulty O2 sensors, FPR regulators and boost leaks instead !

 

Do an ECU error test - http://www.ttzd.com/tech/diagnostictech.html or http://www.twinturbo.net/ttnetfaq/FAQpages/ECUdiagnostics.html

I'm not trying to be horrible but you sound like an accident waiting to happen. The Z can easily catch you out especially in the wet and don't forget the stock brakes aren't that great, get to know the car a bit before you start upping the power ;)

 

Take care

As Legrath says.. then the cheapest bhp per £ is a chip which will liven it right up, SWZ do them for about £100 fitted. You will love it..

Oh... and convert it to a manual as well ;)

Induction kit, chipped ecu and electronic boost controller. As long as its running right, as already said. :)

the best way, and cheapest,

 

TURN THE BOOST UP :)

 

 

itld need to be chipt tho

thanks for the help, i have already noticed that the stock brakes are very poo, i have been told that volvo brakes fit straight on is this true?also could you tell me where i could get the engine tested and see if it is in safety mode? cheers terry

Get the ECU chipped I am sure AndyP still does them???

bring it round to mine mate, i can tell you if there are any ECU faults. Can also advise you on your next step for increasing the power if you want it.

yeah mate that sounds good whereabouts in leyland are ya or do u want me phone no?

yep viniboy, i just sent payment to mr andy p and am sending him my ecu in the morning, so yep he still does them

Do an ecu code check, its easy and you dont need any fancy eqiupment. just get to the ecu and turn the little knob screw all the way clockwise while ignition is turned on then watch for the dash ecu light to flash, first long flashes are first digit, second short flashes are second digits you want code 55. for example 5 long flashes followed by 5 short flashes is code 55 :D

 

If your cars in saftey mode a different code will come up altho im not sure which one it is. code 34 maybe?
