Seriously though, the 190 KV6 is a fragile engine not particularly suited to huge amounts of tuning, and TBH you are always going to be disappointed after the torque delivery of the diesel.
If you want all out mid range grunt in a petrol ZT, you'd be better off, and I hesitate to say this, buying a 260
Why not save the money spent on a fruitless V6 engine build and just get a V8

Brian,
Bhopal.. made me chuckle, as i mentioned above i know these engines are weak, i was just curious would could be done really, clearly from the responses its not worth doing anything.
I'll probably get some nice manifolds made and finish off the exhaust system then just leave her be.
I'd love a V8 but i paid 1/4 for this 190 then what the cheapest v8 is..... plus 260bhp for a v8 is a disgrace.
I know they mod well and easily break 350bhp but out of the box 260 is just a seriously poor effort and if i had 7-8k free i'd be looking at something else rather than another MG.
Anyway thanks for the responses and i'll just leave her be unless i can find a sprintex supercharger!
