How to measure BHP through intake mass?
« on: October 24, 2013, 05:32:11 pm »
Hi Guys

I remember reading about intake mass and there was a calculation to work out the bhp figures, if anyone could shed any light on this, that would be great !

just cant find where I read it on the forum  :confused:

thanks
Neil

4th gear pull.... take the maximum value and divide it by 0.8

Its what is 'read' by the MAF. Its the Mass of air entering your engine per second... measured in grams per second.

Either MAF g/ps x 1.25 or MAF g/ps divided by 0.8.

Hi, I just did a log in 3rd gear and got a max of 203.5 (ko3) stage 2+
254bhp when devided by 0.8

Might be a noob question but would a 4th gear pull not produced a higher intake mass value??

Yeah 4th is a 1:1 gear ratio so best for power runs.   I would do 3 runs and take the average.  Ignore any ridiculously high transient peaks too.

It's a good day for it today too, lot's of foggy cooling goodness on the intercooler :)
