Well you've pricked my curiosity about emmissions, and indeed it could possibly be an issue. However what CP has posted are emmissions per km, not mot emmission limits. I can't locate the zt turbos log book and mot cert right now, but the analyzer slip should be in there. In the meantime - anyone with a zt turbo have the numbers?
Thanks again |
Found it CO LT 3.5, HC LT 1200, car is an mgzt turbo. The old 420 shoul walk it, and even if it struggles, adjustable cam timing should do the rest.
Looked up one of the 420 old mots - CO 0.2, HC 1. Damn strange though, the limits on the 400 printout show Less Than 0.2 for CO, LT 200 for HC, so the older car has stricter emmission regs??? |

Ive seen it all now! Lets fit older design engines in to newer cars as "They were a good engine etc..":duh:
Will have a look in my shed I think Ive got a Rover V8 Buick engine been sat for 40 years under some old carpet etc. Forget advances in technology and the millions of £s on research and development. They know nothing. Shed work screams at me. The mot standards have changed since the pass the bloke a tenner in the pub for a certificate. If its a T series engine make sure the right side of the head gasket isnt leaking oil like a good un.;) |
I was going to ask you something Chris, you mentioned that the cat doesnt affect co2, just hc and nox?
Well nox is not an mot tested gas (wrongly, but there we are), also neither is CO2, it's CO. Interestingly, my understanding of a cat is that it converts CO into CO2. lpg incidentally increases Nox.... Well COab, as someone allready mentioned the K was designed in the 80's, so hardly a spring chicken. If its not up to the job thats it - And if you want I'll list its failings in 1.8 turbo form?(thats not to say I think its a pile of poo, I don't. In fact I think it's a marvel of its time, and at 1400, be it wet or damp liner a cracking engine. Also goes to prove that BL's engineers weren't that far out when they penned a 3 cylinder... |
Good luck to you why not fit the Ford V6 engine? Chain driven, waterpump at the top of the engine and easily capable of 200 bhp with no head gasket or oil issues. No need for a turbo as they pull very well. Look at the ST200 Jaguar fitted them so cant be bad.:duh:

Plus it proves you don't read either my car is an auto and my emissions are much higher than that, 'K' category. My apologies go to minimutly, sorry about this.:} |

Whether this is still the case now, I'm not sure but I will find out as I meet with my Rover/Mg Group every Tuesday night and some of the guys do run more powerful engines in their ZR's. |

Had a think last night on the flywheel issues, the Zt v6 is the same starter tooth profile but thats as far as it gets. It may be that the prima diesel flywheel puts the clutch plate high enough (with a reversed centre clutch), but there is no metal for a reluctor ring. So I'll buy a ztv6 flywheel to see how we get on, it may be just a pattern for a billet steel turning session.
