156.2 H.P. KL-ZE Dyno Run

[curtklze]

I jsut took my '95 GS KL-ZE to the dyno and it made 156.2 H.P. at 6000 rpms and 147.7 LBS<BR>of torque at 4700 rpms.<P>Both drop of after 6300.<P>My car is running the stock exhaust manifolds<BR>and muffler, stock intake pipes with the air filter removed(dyno only).<BR>And a cork sport KL-ZE programmed 1.8 ecu.<P>Dose this sound right? Will my car pick up about 18 whp(21 BHP) with a cold air intake and a 2.5 inch exhaust with high flow muffler?<P>Any one have a ZE that is simmilar to this?

[David Coleman]

Those numbers are right on for your setup. A 2.5" exhaust will help it breathe alot, as well as a cold air intake.

i thought that ze should have 200hp stock???? is there something wrong? how come u get around 160hp?

[OsoSlo z28]

the stock 200hp is to the crank. his numbers are to the wheels.

[Zoso124]

196hp at the crank not the wheels. As dave said you'll pick up a few with an exhaust but not 18-20 hp. Any idea what Corksport programmed on ur new ECU? or what they changed I guess you could say.

[curtklze]

I told cork sport to optimize the ecu for a KL-ZE with cold air intake, high flow cat and a high flow exhaust.<P>I dont have any of that on right now but I will this summer. This might be why it is a little low on power.The computer might be giving the engine too much fuel and timing.<P>The other dyno graphs I have seen of KL-ZE probes show a noticable drop in power<BR>(10-20hp) at each of the VIRS cross overs(2700,3700ect) but mine is very straight with only about 1-3hp loss.

I havent seen any good dyno reports from the Corksport EPROM. They get it from EL prototypes, who I've never seen anything impressive from. There's a PT member by the name of Craig Spencer who is getting real ZE ECU's that will plug into our harnesses and use our JE50 VAF from New Zealand. Should be around $100USD shipped I believe.

[lazzyie]

They are out of the ecu part #kl31 its about $170 shipped/insured to USA with a 30 day warranty. Dah well... missed it by a day.

Is it possible that its just a KL (KL-03)???? I still dunno where to get my KL-ZE and I'm scared that they would send me a KL-03 instead of the KL-ZE... is that possible???

If you haven't searched out there and viewed the available photos of ZEs and read the threads on how to identify ZEs, then you're as careless a purchaser as you can possibly be. Don't ask me where they are either! If I can find them, YOU can find them! It's an easy search!

[curtklze]

Im not making any excuses about the horse power my car made, But I just want to clear some things up.<P>I wanted to know how much power my car is making as I drive it every day.Not how much power I can get out of it by icing down the intake manifold and letting the engine cool down half an hour with huge cooling fans on it between pulls.<P>Those numbers I made were after I had made my first pull, which was made after a 15 min heat soak after I came off the highway.<P>Then we let the car cool off with the hood open and the engine off for 4 min while I pulled out the air filter.<P>If I wanted to make over 160 HP at the wheels Im sure I could have by doing what I typed above, But that is not how my car is every day.

here is a dyno chart for a klze in a probe <P>172 hp 160 ft lbs. <A HREF="http://plaza.ufl.edu/mugen23/KL.htm" TARGET=_blank>http://plaza.ufl.edu/mugen23/KL.htm</A>

Apparently Curt, your engine is in the same ballpark as another KLZE. <P>Now, if you really wanted some depressing numbers, dyno a 1.8 V-6! The best I've come across on a K8 is about 130 whp and that's with all the bells and whistles.<P>Are you running a 2.5 VAF with a Millenia intake?<BR>Can your dyno operator use your O2 sensors to give you some A/F numbers?<P>The only additional suggestions I'll make is to install phenolic spacers.

[curtklze]

Thanks for the info <P>Im running the stock 1.8 VAF sensor and a re-programmed 1.8 ECU.<P>The eunos 800 manifold is allready touching the hood liner on my car if I were to use the spacers I would have to remove the liner and grind down some of the bolts on the intake manifold, and maybe grind the hood a little ) I will be done.<P>Then comes the 65 shot of ZEX
