ZT-T supercharged for sale
Just seen a local car yard selling a ZT tourer wagon 2.5 with sprintex supercharger.
It’s a two tone paint job with a small bit of rear paint damage on the rear bumper. Quite a rare car I’d say, especially over here. On ever seen one other but was a sedan. Sprintex was / is a local Australian company here in Perth but not sure if they are still in business. Seem to recall people were worried the supercharger would blow the kv6 engines up ? This one still seems ok. |

Wish it was in Scotland, would love to fit it to my ZTT 190 and see if I can blow it up!

https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/east...-zt/1171138613 Never seen a two tone ZTT before, how come they didnt do the supercharged version over here? Is the kit still available? |

I am very surprised that they supercharged an auto, as the auto box can't handle more than 180 bhp. The only kits available are on the second hand market BUT you will need to do a lot of engine modifications and modifications on the charger its self that sprintex did not do. At the end of the day a great idea BUT F up because of lack of R&D from both companies.

I don’t like the look of the top of the header tank. Looks like it’s been blowing water out. Could be needing a new cap..............or something else?

A couple of years ago spent a month reading everything I could about it and back then I read that sprintex would not touch the things. They did not want the liability.
