tonyv EPC Member Donating Members 1,598 Member For: 16y 1m Gender: Male Posted 01/03/12 08:15 AM Share Posted 01/03/12 08:15 AM Yep another thread!Just a quick question whether or not I keep the zf or go something different, what power do the zf when built usually hold power wise?My current built zf started to flare 2nd to 3rd when power increased to 390rwkw so its at kewish getting looked at now. Il get it fixed now whatever the problem may be but im just worried it will not hold the next round of mods when the car makes more powerAm I better off doing a conversion to another auto and what are the costs involved?tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is similar to modifying an oil pump. Probably other bits also replaced theses days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is time to find an Auto that is more capable? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
