My mum's is fantastic around town, it just doesn't have the same legs mine used to on the open road though. | |

its strange you say about losing mid-range on the z18xe, on my bro's one it seems to have a lot more mid range torque! feels similar to my c20xe when you accelerate from low down...but doesn't have the same top end as mine. | |

quote: but even then they only see any gains high in the revs. lose the midrange completely. Hate to say it but N/A tuning isnt the way to go on the z18xe unless you have deep pockets. I reckon that you will see far better gains from a 1600 unless you plan on a turbo conversion or want to spend £8k+ | |

on another note, mine is faster on the road than another car we have had in that had a dbilas inlet on it. it did make 140 bhp but lost all the midrange from fitting the dbilas. mine is standard. | |

2000cc and 265bhp sounds good! | |

a lot of later models see 128 bhp as standard and a nice 130 lb/ft of torque, 2004> models tend to give better figures, not sure why but they have slightly different bottom end. | |

my brother has just had the dbilas inlet and dbilas chip installed on his, feels like its running around 140 ish bhp. Much quicker than before! | |

125bhp i think and yeah mapping seems common and according to the lads on ccuk, there's not much involved to get 150bhp | |
