A variation of ITB filters

normally they are fitted with either little foam hats (easiest way to explain it) or like a filter block that goes over one side. (so if you have a V6 it would be 1 foam block over each bank of 3 cylinders)

you can see in the video each cyliner has its own trumpet, below each trumpet is a butterfly valve (the throttle body) one for each cylinder. so each cylinder draws its own air instead of being fed by 1 or 2 air feeds with filters on. these particular ones are also running either water or meth injection as well (this is where a mist of water or meth and water are sprayed as a mist into each cylinder to increase combustion. (basic break down)

LOL, wrong game, i think you're getting confused with Lacrosse? or Tiddly winks? game with a roundball 2 teams, played by girls; nope i think i have the right sport

staying NA is not a cheap option; be it tuning the stock engine, rebuilding the stock engine or changing the engine completely. if you wanted to be NA and special in the UK ITB's are probably the best option, very few have done it but the sound is pure sex wee.

i don't follow netball that closely but i reckon acrington stanley might pip them to the post.

if your not picky on engines, there are a world of options out there http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=v ... o_id=32141

nope, tried, but all sold out

if you can get hold of one a Vette LS2 the kits already available for a straight swap, well in the states at least, not sure its as straight forward on a UK car

yes they don't allow them

you can get special insets for low down filters that stops water going up the tube like a Vax hoover,

personally i don't think the zed engine is worth keeping NA if your spending that kind of cash; its missing 2 cylinders for a start. i like the zed but i'd rather see that engine mounted to an SC or TT, suits the car better. if you want to go NA, drop a V8 in it. the cost would proably be less.

i'm glad i didn't have those filters today when i had to drive through the 1 foot deep puddle that was 100 metres long. it was coming over the bonnet but your setup is looking tres bonne

you'd need to run a full forged build, maybe bored out to 3.7 litres, ported and polished. with ITB's possibly with NOS and a water meth injection setup. that would see your largest numbers NA. or alternatively lift the engine out completely and drop a V8 in there. still NA but will have more torque and BHP (dependant on engine choice) as for numbers for both setups? not a friggin clue?

i like it, what engine is it wheels suit it as does the intake

i'm sure last time i looked it was about £370 but that was a few years ago.

an engine is an engine at the end of the day; the zed works on internal combustion just like any other car and uses a mix of fuel, spark and air to make it go. the quality of a remap is down to the person doing it. there are 2 places known for doing zeds RSTuning up near you and Abbey motorsport how good the tune depends on how good the tuner is, the zed in NA form is not an easy car to extract the power out of. and acutally the price being quoted isn't far off what you'd pay at abbey or RST also from memory you need special software for pulling the zeds maps. a bad map can lean out an engine to far and course it to pink out and possibly over heat or cause bad damage.

I did it a while back. Lot of work. Thread should be somewhere on here. I can't search in detail as I'm the phone, but ill have a look for some pics and post up later. It's a lot of work, and the handles need spraying black first.

Always makes me smile that my 4 litre V8 is £220 a year to tax, think it might be up by a tenner next year. Permission to be smug sir. Lol.

Love ITB's my friend at paragon installed and runs them on his track XK8 its frickin awesome

yes i meant consultants as in paper pusher not as in medical care giver.

there are swings and roundabouts to every decision. i'm not saying the forum should move to a paid membership, i wouldn't want to see it end up as a clsoed forum like others i know as it kills the traffic (does keep the riff raff out though ) keeping the resources free is a good idea as its the main draw to the club in the first place. but as has been said people would want to see returns, so your suddenly in a situation of having to offer a load of extras and who would organise it? with regards to moderating i always viewed it a bit like the masons; you got invited to join if you were seen to offer benefits to the group. you don't vote for who's in charge, and you get to learn a special handshake at wales meets

you get to go visit the zed shed where they would probably do all the work; especially if you bring gifts of food and tobacco
