My guess would be in the 270s assuming it's been mapped, boost seems low for the spec though.

i used to run my classic at 1.1/1.2 bar and it was fine, the only mods were chip,full decat panel filter and lightened and balanced flywheel, that was on the rolling road at 300/300, since then i upped the boost along with a 3 bar map sensor and it was very quick, i never got round to see what power it would produce on the rollers, as i stripped it for spares,

with your car i would not bother with the z4, depending on funds, get either a chip or a esl live map board, and go from and as for the internals as long as it has been maintained well it will be ok.

Whoever told you that these engines will only cope with 1 bar needs re-educating.

My 93 has standard internals and was mapped at 1.5 bar peak by Mr Forrest himself. Granted thats with the appropriate supporting mods.

Yours probably is around 280 with a mines, but you absolutely must run 99 ron fuel and would be better with a less aggresive map.

i would not turn the boost up on that as it is or as the name on the ecu suggests it may go BANG!!!

this amazes me. turn up the boost on an ecu you have already been told already has an agressive map on. why not take the car to someone who knows what they are doing. having said that if you are rich enough to have a new engine rebuild then fair play.

Why are people so obsessed with BHP figures. Bragging rights down the pub? what difference will it make?
