MG ZT chip
 

Hi, I have a 2005 MG ZT 180, runs well (apart from coolant leaks, another story) but I’m wondering if anyone has fitted a chip to enhance performance and economy… keen to hear any details please.

Others will no doubt confirm but i dont think there is any re-map/chip available on a KV6 engine. You can remap the diesels (MR47) to 160 bhp and the 1.8t (k16) to 200 bhp.

Thanks for that info…che!

These guys reckon they can remap a KV6.

The ZT 180 although having the 190 engine had to be detuned slightly as the 190 tune was too harsh for the automatic gearbox ;)

Yes you can tune the KV6 but you're not talking by much which makes it not really a viable option cost-wise as you're only going to gain a few BHP ;)

Far better to ensure your VIS motors are working correctly and possibly adding a K&N type Air filter and less restrictive exhaust.

180 quid for another 12 bhp, hardly worth it.

Thanks everyone, cheers!
