Default Calculating the BHP increase.

Hi Guys I really need your help. I have programmed the following calculator http://torquecars.co.uk/Tuning...r.php.

I need your feedback to help me make it more accurate - If you have done the mods I need to know how accurate is the BHP gain shown and what did the parts cost retail?

I know its often cheaper to put in a new engine but Guys always want to know what the absolute limit is and at what point their engine explodes so I built this calculator. The more you play with it the more you'll appreciated the cumulative gains raised with multiple parts ie: exhaust + air filter gives more than the power gain for just an exhaust added to the power gain for just an air filter.

236 Dyno readings and weeks of chatting with owners and mechanics from all over the world!

Results were taken from Honda's , Peugeots, Rovers, MG, Subarus and Mitsubishi mainly. Not many turbo's showing so I think the turbo option could be improved. Most were 2.0 or under and only 50 had the sport computer or sport chip option.

How's it fare on your car?

Have any of your cars been put on a dyno? I'd be ever so grateful if you could share your experiences and expectations.

Your calculator is broken, it says adding racing stripes and dice doesnt increase horsepower? WTF?
