I just noticed his post from the Dyno thread, so I'll paste my own post from over there:
Your numbers
were corrected... IIRC, 207whp was with a
1.13 CF, which is just about perfect for a turbo car. Uncorrected, your car put down
183whp, and using a FULL correction factor, 1.27 for that dyno, which would ONLY be applicable for a Naturally Aspirated vehicle, your car would have only put down 233whp.
I think No-Coast-Punk's math was a little off, as multiplying your corrected 207whp by .87 would equal 180whp, but it doesn't work the other way around, as multiplying 180whp by the correction factor 1.13 would equal 203whp. In order to find the number that would be able to be multiplied by the corrected 1.13 CF, and come out to be the corrected 207whp, we would have to multiply 207whp by about .885 which would be about 183.1whp, which I rounded down to 183. So I think a more accurate way to find your uncorrected numbers would be to multiply by about .885 or so for a turbo car.
A correction factor is only calculated to show what your car would make at sea level. On a Dyno Dynamics, at sea level, in 70 degree weather, with no correction factor, it's assumed that your car would have put down 207whp, which is no where near 255whp.
Now, if you wanted to lie to yourself, and give yourself HIGHLY overinflated FULL correction Dynojet numbers, using 1.41 CF based on the 183whp I found, then you would make 258whp or so, but realize, even on a dynojet, at sea level, your car would not make 258whp, since No-Coast's formula appears as though it was generated to match dyno's like MAC's that use a full correction factor on turbo cars that don't need it... if we subtracted about .13 from the formula, to show what your car should make at sea level, with no correction factor on a dynojet, using a 1.28 CF you would probably make about 234whp on a dynojet at sea level, with no correction in 70 degree weather.
You can use 255-258whp if you want, but honestly, it's just like lying to yourself, as your car isn't making that much horsepower. Not trying to be a dick, just point a few things out.
Now as far as the "title belt"... a stock 04-06 STI puts down between 215-225whp on RP's dyno... lol, but we won't count Subies, as it's still a Mazda club.... but even using the overinflated Dynojet correction factor, my Speed6 put down 284whp on MAC's dyno.... Josh's Speed3 put down 305whp on MAC's dyno.... and technically, Mike B's uber-powerful RX-7 is still a member of these boards lol. Not to mention a couple of the turbo Miata's we have on here, which may not make much over the 250whp mark on MAC's dyno, but they have a much better power/weight ratio than a near stock Speed3. I wouldn't be so quick to claim the "title", unless of course, you're just claiming the title for that specific dyno day, in which case, I thought were was a stupid powerful Cobra that showed up? LOL.
Just giving Jack shit, congrats on the numbers, damn good for a Speed3, but I wouldn't claim the "title" just yet
