BHP Upgrade
~400bhp at the crank is possible on stock tubs & injectors with the following: free flowing exhaust, induction kit, chip & boost increase to 1bar. underdrive lightweight pulley will help as will lightweight flywheel if a manual. you will also need an uprated clutch. if its an auto you will need an uprated fast road box when you blow it apart LOL! brakes & suspension will benefit from upgrades! also think about traction control cos 360deg spins arnt fun in a zed!! :D if its RWHP you are after then uprated tubs & injectors will be needed

slight fluid leak from the front shock absorbers a taply meter is a decelerometer that sits in the car for testing the brake efficiency on the road. vehicles with LSD are not suitable for brake testing in rollers

Polish and Porting
also get it done by someone with experience of porting. it can actually be detrimental to performance if you just go grinding metal out of the ports without knowing where to remove it!

Auto Z Twin turbo - Acceleration Improvement
LOL! its only a 5.5 AMG V8 out of an SL, I can price just an engine up if you like!! :D my manual was timed at 4.7 with basic mods ;)

Quad Turbos
not really worth it IMO. many newer bigger turbos will spool up fairly quickly anyway. far too much agro/cost for the benefit TBH!

Missfiring part 3....
start by checking & cleaning the connectors to the PTU, coil packs & injectors. the injector connectors are very common in corroding & may need replacing. coil pack connectors break & can cause misfires. PTU's are a common failure & can affect or or 1 (or more) cyls

Clutch Fitting Guide
not replacing the flywheel now could result in expensive costs involved in having to redo the job again when it destroys the new clutch ;)
-
Clutch Fitting Guide
1) remove gearbox 2) replace clutch 3) refit gearbox :D it really is an easy job on a zed, no special tools required. done mine in around 3 hours on a ramp IIRC hardest part is if the exhaust downpipe nuts are siezed, they will need warming up to remove to save shearing the stud.

Problems to expect once the Z has overheated
could have done almost anything! cooked head gaskets, warped heads, partial siezure causing damage to pistons/bores - do a compression test 1st bud!

my Z pulls left when braking hard
also juddering will prob be discs or worn tension rod bushes
-
intercoller bhp ???
as said, will prob only give a small increase but is also a good safety measure when upping the boost. decent uprated sidemounts have been proven to give slightly better performance results than a FMIC unless running silly high power.
