beat me to it reuter...was trying to find the same info...16% sounded too high...like people who give up to 40% for "drivetrain losses" lil high imo...anyways good numbers either way

 

before he says "yea well it was hot out!"

Correction factors are used by both dynos to account for varying atmospheric conditions such as temperature, pressure, and humidity. The measured horsepower and torque are multiplied by the correction factor to obtain the corrected values. This is similar to the corrected times and speeds provided by some quarter mile tracks. Theoretically, you can dyno on a hot day in the high altitude of Denver and on some other cool day at sea level and produce the same corrected horsepower even though the observed horsepower you are producing at each location is different. Both dynos calculate a correction factor based on a Society of Automotive Engineering document (SAE-J1349).

from same website...

 

302.4 rwhp, running a little too rich..gotta get an safc asap

 

rwhp on a civic huh? sweet.

 

isnt it?
















i kid, i kid....took the supra out for a run on the dyno, just to see what it puts down right now. it needs to be tuned

 

^who ever knew that the 4 door was just a daily driver? hahaha. jkjk

 

i got 133.7 with intake and exhaust. so thats about 155 whp with the 16% factor. im happy with that on a base =)

 

 

haha, i didn't know the 4 door was a daily driver until i saw him there in line for the dyno. i was wondering where his car was so i asked him, and he pointed to the supra and i went i wish i could have stayed longer to see it on the dyno.. i've never heard a supra in person before

 

Yo, I'm the ViPaH KiLaH!!! *sigh*

There's really no sense in quoting numbers on the dynojet until you put the car on a dynojet. It's as simple as that.

I sincerely doubt many NA NSXs could keep up with MR2 2NR though. If you folks have one in mind, set up a race!

BTW, I tuned the MR2 that they are getting said "conversion factor" from. I still have my doubts on the number differences, but nothing was changed (even weather or altitude) from one dyno to the next. The runs were made 1 day apart. I scratched my head after the dynojet pulls, but the customer (and just about every other customer as well) wanted the dynojet number.

*shrug* What really matters is how well the car accelerates, and the 1/4 mile is a great way to demonstrate that capability. I could care less about what horsepower number it takes to get one there, as long as they can run the number consistently.

I know of 2 local 500+rwhp cars that can't even break into the 11s due to traction problems even though they trap above 120mph. That's not very impressive, is it?
