OCTANE horsepower translation thread
OCTANE horsepower translation thread
ok i need some help people. i need to make a thread about how octane translates to horsepower.
here's the format.
TURBO SIZE
stock turbo: 9.8, 10.5, evo 9, wr, fpgreen OR gt series turbo: 3071, 3076, 35r and beyond
then
OCTANE JUMP
91 to 100 >>> how much increase in boost
93 to 100 >>> how much increase in boost
91 to 110 >>> how much increase in boost
93 to 110 >>> how much increase in boost
91 to c16 >>> how much increase in boost
93 to c16 >>> how much increase in boost
alcohol injection peak numbers
e85 peak numbers
so i need help in data collection. on each one of these turbos i'd like to find at least a few examples of how much power is gained by switching to higher octane.
EXAMPLE
stock 9 turbo: 300hp at 21psi 91octane>>>100octane 380hp at 27psi
dyno graphs are good... but this is mainly going to be a spreadsheet of numbers or a list of numbers.
concerns that others have brought up:
this is meant to be a generalization. things will not be exact. the windows of results will be large in variation. this is to give people an idea of what is possible. hence turbo being the only flow indicator.
