Tuning modifications for the MG ZT
We have a comprehensive database of all the latest and greatest modifications to your car.
Available in standard form with power of upto 257bhp (depending on the year), so this goes to show the tuning potential of the ZT. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 282.7bhp to 436.9bhp with modifications varying from a few DIY mods to some pretty major engine work. The higher you go the more unreliable the car will be and you should expect to have to rebuild the engine regularly if you want to extract silly power. A big forced induction upgrade would be needed to push beyond the 100bhp per 1000cc limit.
The Car Tuning Guide suggest that if you have a lower powered version you should do an engine swap with a ‘257bhp ZT Saloons’. The more powerful ZTs respond exceptionally well to tuning mods. Car Tuning Guide have been impressed with the addition of stainless steel exhaust systems on the ZTs , if you want to improve your top end go with an air induction filter. You should also get a better fuel pressure regulator such as those supplied by FSE
The modification that gives the biggest power gain on your car would be a fast road cam. Internal engine modifications that should be high up on your list would be polishing and porting the head.
The most powerful ZT Saloon in our database offers 257 bhp. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 282.7 bhp to 436.9bhp with mods we have outlined above.
You will get even larger power gains for these tuning mods on a ZTs. A simple remap and better intercooler will almost double your power.The top ZT offers a base power level of 257 bhp. When setup for motorports we can expect to see almost mythical power figures approaching 334.1 bhp to 488.3 bhp! Many ZT owners improve the handling of their cars with slightly stiffer springs. A drop of 35mm will work well on most cars, any lower and you will hit other problems.
Soon the car tuning guide will offer more detailed and in depth tuning guides for the ZT so bookmark this site and we hope to see you again.
