On a side note, here is a question that none of you haven't asked. Is the turbo running off one exhaust bank or is it running off both exhaust bank?
That was my point as well. People were comparing the STD ratings given on this graph to SAE numbers on other graphs.
As for % of difference.
I made 187.2HP SAE rating, 193HP Actual, & 198.6 STD HP
That's a difference of ~6.1% Using that figure and at 290HP that would make an ~18HP difference. Not a ton mind you, but a noticeable difference. With that said...
The difference between SAE & STD is STD also corrects for altitude & humidity - both to 0. Not positive, but I'm fairly certain both correct to 29.92 pressure and 60 degrees. (I know SAE does)
My SAE correction was ~.98, my STD correction was ~1.02
(Which here is over 1000' and 60-100% at best - ~65-70% during run!)
So it can give you significantly higher numbers in some cases! I'm sure the humidity in Florida is normally quite high, though the altitude is likely not to be...
I agree a dyno makes a great tool and an average comparing device. (when using different dyno locations) However to begin to even try to compare; the correction factors must atleast be the same.
I did ask how they managed to route both exhaust pipes to the front corner of the car.
No response.
Also how the poor main engine harnesses and fuse box (since the turbo is mounted directly over the harnesses!) were going to take them & the turbo being so close!
No response.
