crank hp

 

So what stock whp are most people seeing for the VIII?

 

honda was the first to break the agreement with in introduction of the RL with 300hp (read in an auto magazine), that's why there are cars coming out of japan with more than 276 hp now and soon to be like the new skyline, supra and nsx.

 

i beleive their is some sort of standard in america, suposedly to my knowledge the government will not let a japanese car make horrendous power from a factory, but a american car pushing 500 plus is alright??

 

Five and a half horsepower...depends on which Dyno though.


But with all my upgrades, I have 22,867.404 Ferret Power. What an upgrade!

 

would it be better to have an overated car that might carry higher insurance as a result.. I cant imagine insuring a 330hp red car with a giant wing on it thats primarily built for racing.

 

I have an 05. The specs say 276 HP. If I have more, then by gar I want to know it. It's a lot more fun to tell people that I have 290 or 300 HP, than "a little shy of 280".

 

That's nonsense. All cars sold in the US are power rated by the same SAE standard tests.

 

The first and only valid post. Well put. About the hp levels, the ix has 310 plus crank hp stock for sure.

 

yeah mostly its for insurance, one way to find out is if any guys with BR- series evos are paying extra if they submit that they have a BR350 (or whatever) to their insurance company

 

i put down 240 hp at the wheels and 255 tq at the wheels. this was a few months ago.

 

Any of you guys dyno your Evo (Stock)?

 

look at the post above yours...

 

Yep. 252whp/243wtq bone stock IX on a Mustang Dyno. This particular Mustang reads closer to a dynojet though than Buschur's MD for example. Based on other baselines on the same dyno (STi putting down in the 240s), we estimated the IX to be around 310-320 at the crank.

 

woohoo! I feel good! =D
