Done on a Dyno-Jet 248c in Denver, CO.

VIDEO:


So I did this about 1 1/2 weeks ago on a nice day. Regretably, the dyno shop didn't print any humidity/temp at that time, and it's a normalized printout of 3 dyno runs. The first one I ran showed 189whp and 132wtq, which I was quite impressed with.

Remember, I'm at a mile high altitude, and only have K&N Intake and Skunk2 70mm Mega Exhaust. And, no, regretably I do not have stock numbers, but they would have been skewed due to humidity and temp any ways since I would have taken them in summer/fall. Do with it as you will

Although, hopefully the next time I run a dyno run it will be with FI...

 

lol i would think that you would choose forced induction living a mile high! lol

not bad though

 

Nice numbers man, congrats

 

Those are SAE numbers--so they have been "standardized" to lower elevation, moderate temperature and avg. barometric pressure. I don't know what the correction factor is but the actual numbers you put down that day are probably considerably lower than the SAE numbers displayed, due to the high elevation and lower resuling barometric pressure.

I saw a Dynojet printout in a recent Turbo magazine of a 450 whp Ford Focus--the correction factor was 1.09 because he dynoed somewhere in Nevada at high temps and high elevation--the actual barometric pressure was around 27.8!! Which is very low--again due the altitude. So that Focus might have actually put down around 413 whp that day (450 divided by 1.09=412.8) but the SAE number "standardizes" it by a series of calculations to a rough estimate of what it would put down in "normal" conditions of low altitude and moderate temp.

 

That's right, I had forgotten about the SAE stadarization. How can you tell that it is SAE any ways? Is that a function of the dyno itself? Can you tell I haven't done too many dyno runs?

And honestly, it really doesn't matter too much to me what the actual numbers are. I had fun dynoing, and I have even more fun driving my car than bragging about numbers. This was more informational than anything else.

 

Not bad Monkey!

And yes, altitude sucks the HP right out of our cars. My UNCORRECTED numbers were about the same as your CORRECTED numbers, and I'm boosted

Just a depressing fact of life here in Denver, but at least it's somewhat fair because it has an effect on everyone.

The SAE correction (and other methods) are a function of the dyno software. There are formulas and whatnot that make it somewhat accurate measurement of what your car would put down at sea level.

See you at next week's meet if the weather is nice

We need to arrange a cruise one of these weekends too... You're 1 of only like 3 other Si's I've seen in town. We need to find more!

 

Thanks .COMplex! Yeah, this mile high crap is silly as hell, and I come from ocean level. I do honestly wonder what my uncorrected numbers are at this altitude.

Yep, I wish last weekend was a little less cold... This weekend does seem to be looking up though, but I just hope that work doesn't come up and grab me from the depths of hell...

I'm up for a run at almost any time, just as long as work or home life don't get in the way.

 

You can tell it is SAE because it says SAE HP and TQ on the graph lol

I live in Denver and have a NHBP Si, let me know where the next meet is and I will show up.

Oh man...um, yeah, I think I get an F- in observational skills. Yeesh.

Hell yea dude! If the weather is good, I'll be there with my NHBP

Meets are at Red & Jerry's at Sante Fe and Oxford Sunday's at around 7:00pm. See you there?

 

Oh yes, also, there is an AutoX event this weekend. Too bad I'm still on break-in fluids and I have all-season tires! That and I'll be working during the day probably...
