OK instead of leaching off other posts i figured id make my own for peopleto follow. Baisclly heres the deal I have zpi stage 0(its speical unlike all the current ones and probably any other) RIght now my car is running REALLY rich and I think my mainfold/wastegate/down pipe/turbo gasekts maybe blown, and my car plugs I believe need to be gapped(not too sure on that one) So this is basiclly for any noobs that have questions and wish to follow my progess and keep your problems in check. Here is my setup. Speical ZPI stage 0 with FMIC , NGK Iridium IX, and custom 2.5" manderal bent exhuast.

So as of right now my car is running reall rich, back firing, and idling bad I will have ZPI get some new gaskets out to me tomorrow to see if that fixes the problem. So keep watch!

UPDATES
**2/21 325 pm:I talked to kenny he is 2 daying my pnp harness and sending me all the gaskets free of charge so I will have complete new gaskets to replace since i am taking everything off I will go ahead and wrap all my piping in exuast/header wrap. So hopefully that will fix all my issues.

**2/22 1104 am: My emanage finally got sent tou but it wont be here till tue the 28th the guy shoudlve had it sent out friday or monday! bad practices on ebay ...oh well at least its been sent and my pnp harness/gasekts should all be in tomorrow!

**2/23 1150am: Ok gaskets come in today along with pnp harness. I will also be wrapping my downpipe, and manifold in exhuast wrap today since they will be off. Im really hoping the gaskets fix my issue and allow my car to run. If they dont I have no idea what im going to do.

**2/23 1030pm: Changed out the gaskets and the car runs alot better it did die on me once when i first ran it but hasent since! But I dont think the tranny is liking the turbo now cause the car jerks when I let off the accl and let it coast some times its hard sometimes you can barley feel it and sometimes not at all. Im hoping thats just a tuning issue but at least the car is running.

whats special about yours?

peteyd

Its v.000001 of the stage 0 zpi turbo. Its producin the most power outta any other stage 0 on the market on the m/t it put out 250whp and 276ft lbs. That with out injectors and a emanage. For me it put 215whp and 196 ft lbs, on the stock exhuast and untuned.

Are you using the stock ECU?

peteyd

Yes its stock ECU i have a greedy "lil blue" coming in this week sometime.

tikbhoy

you should name this thread

" Peteyd Turbo Adventure " = p

And you installed everything yourself...is this correct? hmm...Are you throwing CEL too? Any and all information is helpful to those who are better in this field.

jlaznlover

if you have iridium plugs, it doesn't not need to be gapped(well, for denso iridiums at least) are the plugs one step colder? not too sure why it is idling rich. keep us updated.

im still waiting for my pipes, zpi...

peteyd

Yes my friends and I installed everything ourseleves. I am throwing a CEL, im not sure what it is. But I know one is because I do not have an o2 sensor in the spipe. Ill try to go to autozone today to find out if there are anymore errors on it.

I running the NGK Iridium IX which from what I was told is one step colder. I tried to get the desnsos but this was all my local dealer could get none of them were ablet o get the densos IK 22s.

get those codes pulled. You could be running in limp mode being that rich. And you are using stock injectors correct?

peteyd

I can tell its runinng rich and yes im using stock injectors.

UPDATED!

hope it all fixes the problems.

rhythmnsmoke

You need to get to a dyno, and tune it. And also throw an O2 sensor in that S-pipe while your at it.

peteyd

All my parts from ZPI will be in thrusday, I guess I wont have a choice and will get the o2 sensor for the spipe its just soo darn expensive. Then the emange should be in this week as well.

peteyd

bump for people to keep track of!
