for the money i would get a the 1.7 Puma engine conversion. you can source one for with all you need for about £750 then fitting apx £500-750 gives you some money to put a set of cams and a chip. looking in the region of 140-150bhp

it will be a costly job and iirc the bottom end on the phase ZS was a week point and would die if given a hard time.

if you really want to keep the same engine go for the normal things, cams, remap, ported & polished head. this wont see you with as much power as the puma engine though

Probably take the K&N off to start with and go back to a panel filter (K&N/ Piper-X etc)
