mightyvr6 0 Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 My zr2/2.9 put out 275bhp/241 lbft torque so power should be in that kind of area. That was on the supplied Z-chip too.You might be running the wrong chip, your maf's dead or you've got boost leaks. Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted January 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 boost was ok... he overlaid the plots with mintys and all the curves were almost identical except mine tailed off at around 5000rpm where his kept going to the redline Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted January 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 how would I know if there was a boost leak? Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Put a boost guage onto the inlet manifold (I think Minty was seeing about 6.5 psi at peak power) Check that all your pipework is clamped up properly.Jules had a similar problem (was only seeing about 220 hp) before remapping, but after mapping was making 270 hp.I was browsing the net and found the complete Z-Eng installation /maintainance instructions in pdf format. I'll post the link. Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted January 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 cool cheers... they checked the boost but we did think it sounded like there was an air leak when it revved high Link to post Share on other sites
