Conversion calculations from HP to KW and Ambient Correction..

[r0ckf1re]

1Kw = 1.34Hp

@ 1300m altitude you can deduct about 18% on the flywheel and another 20% for RWD.

In essence you can almost deduct 45% from the manufacturers flywheel claims and that will be what you see on a hot day (30degC) for a RWD car on the wheels with no correction factor.

That is if the dyno has been calibrated properly which 99% of them are not

Not so much on a turbo car, nore like +/- 5%

Saf.... leave the dynos for the Dyno queens...
BUt since your car got some nice figures why not run on the Xcede Tuned 330d so you can guage..?
Im Sure Singfla can hook you up...

But that is not why we use dynometers. We use it so see if there are any improvements to be made on a specific engine. In conjunction with AFR, etc. we can see exactly what is happening an any moment in the RPM range and thus tweak the engine accordingly.

I still don't know why people care about it. It's a tool, not a goal.
