well this is my zx with just a couple of mods :lol:

1993 zxImage

with 45 mm throttle bodies and webber management
Image

and slightly bigger brakes !! :D
Image

the head gasket is being done at the moment and hopefully if i can afford it a couple of cams as well

theres a be3/6 (gti6) gearbox with a lightened flywheel going in before the spring

let me know what you think!

Nice 16v man!!!, the rims in black suits very well 8)

Where did you got the throttle bodies and the intake??, cos' here is too much expensive.
It's was difficult to fit the admision in the 16v?

hi Whitty, nice ride!

using itb´s is a hardcore mod for a naturally aspirated engine, I guess! I think it´s too hard to fine tuning the engine, but the gain is marvelous! and the sound of the itb´s working under heavy acceleration is hypnotizing! 8)

like Martin, it´s too difficult to find these parts here too :(

congratulations!

it's not for a zx!!!!! it was a 405 2.0 mi16 one was a absolute pain in the ass to get in and had to modify crossmember slightly to stop in catching but it made a noticeable difference seemed to relase more mid range torque but never had it on the rolling road to check if there was any gain but it deffinatly felt better

It's the same engine isnt it? But in the 405 there's more space to make an equal lenght manifold I guess :)

yes same engine in the late 2.0 405's but if you want an improved manifold to standard zx one then a gti6 one is equal length tubular manifold and i happen to have a spare!
