Wait a minute, I may have some info on that. On one of my Japanese auto mags that I purchased on my last trip home, I just found an ad for a Z chip. Unfortunately, I'm at work now, but I'll get home tomorrow and take a better look.

All this sounds promising.

vicmar90, I have a mag for you, when can I drop it off?

I'll try to scan the article. I have a subscription. I believe the power numbers were at the crank estimated, not at the wheels. They dyno the cars but then estimate crank HP. That being said there is good power to be had with exhaust and downpipes IF it is designed properly. Power Enterprise also got over 20 whp out of their exhaust/downpipe combo.

I'm sorry Guru, but thats Hp #s can be to the Crank, the Z in Japan is 280 ps and the Amuse System put 21 PS to the wheel and no mention the ECU that at least put another 20 PS, if you do the math the #s is more than 303 to the crank.
Amuse #s:

260 ps (stock)
282 ps (Amuse w Y pipe)
303 ps (ECU, asuming another 20 ps. that is the # that everybody is talking about for the upgrade.)

So in Japan the Z puts out only 260 at the crank? bummer.
