150bhp
Best engine but most problematic. It's the one I had in my vectra.. A map alone takes it to over 200bhp.
Things to look for are check the inlet manifold to see if the swirl bar is still attached.. New manifold time if not, or just blank them.
Usual EGR issues, blank it.
Boost solenoid occasionally clogs up on them, one bolt to remove & clean.
No DPF to worry about if it's a manual.
Not a bad engine the Z19DTH.
I know a chap near Ipswich who maps them for £90 odd, custom map he writes himself and he'll map the EGR out etc too. Proper mapping geek perfectionist.
