hi hippo,
i noticed that the zimage files are compressed in a gz format, is that possible to do so with a bz2 format since the last seems more size efficient.

Those are elf, and to be used directly to nios2-download.
The uncompress loader uses gz format internally, because there is a build-in gunzip inside the kernel library. It is possible to use bz2, but that would require adding the bunzip2 to the loader.
