It could be worth emails to KMAPs and SAWS to ask if either have a record of supplying a map or exchanged ECU for your car. They can quickly check their records against your reg and VIN. Those two companies account for almost all remaps on K series engines and are always very helpful.

It would be interesting to see if was just for bling of if they had also changed any other less obvious bits. For instance 135 standard cams & injectors and a KMAPS / SAWS remap would easily take the 115 to between 130 and 140bhp depending on the map. The actual cc capacity difference between the 1.6 and 1.8 only counts for 5bhp, the rest of the difference in power is deliberately restricted by the cams, injectors and ECU map.

It depends on the year I think. I may be completely wrong here but I think the Mk1 F 120 1.8 mpi had a smaller mass airflow meter, a plastic inket manifold and a slightly restictive airfilter box. A popular upgrade at the time was to replace them with uprated items from the VVC. Later the same were standard on the 135 so became even easier to source (though it's plain metal manifold was rather less bling than the VVC's)

Nothing to do with MGFs and TFs but I'm looking to sell a 3.5 V8 from a Rover V8 and a Lt77 gearbox cheaply. Strictly buyer collects.
I got it years ago with a view to doing a v8 conversion to my MGB project car but plans changed and I'd rather have the space back.
If you know anyone who may be interested the rule is the less hassle to me and the quicker it goes, the cheaper they can have it.

A friend with a ZT diesel has asked if I can diagnose some issues on his car with my Pscan that he cant see with a basic plug in diagnostic. Ive yet to fully explore using the pscan on my TF and know nothing about the systems on a 75/ZT so not sure what to expect
Is it known which systems the Psan will interact with on a ZT please ?

Hi Nad, good to hear from you and welcome to the forum. There is certainly a wealth of information here. The How Tos are definitely worth reading through. There is usually a Library section with useful resources such as workshop manual downloads and parts catalogue but that is offline this week as our webmaster is in the throes of updating following an update of the forum platform.
There are a few of us here who have B's as well as F / TFs, interesting to see the differences in design approaches but also the common threads between them.
Do you do your own mechanical work when you need to ?
