HiBoost TS said:PSI is not what makes power in a motor but air mass. If the engine is breathing more air than what the turbo can push, then the PSI on the intake manifold will drop.
Physics wins everytime. PSI is a measurement of BACK pressure. Back pressure is a measurement of when the motor can no longer ingest air under it's own power. Even 1 psi is 1 lb of back pressure. If you motor was moving more air than your turbo can push, you would not make PSI.
HiBoost TS said:I don't know what numbers do not add for you, but we have a dyno run and at least 10 passes thru the track at 12.00, They went yesterday and again 12.007, 12.006 and 12.007.
You have all the info that we give to the forums as valuable info for other to compare.
The car is 2.0 liter with stock bore on its original engine block, lower Mazda compression pistons, Pauter rods, HiBoost basic kit, 450 cc injectors, Haltech F10X (fuel only) ACT clutch and MSP tranny.
357 WHP and 12.00 at 115 MPH
What doesn't add up is the numbers Vs MPH and psi from different times.
I quoted you already. You said you went 115mph on 30+ psi. HP is nothing more than a mathematical calculation as well. If you car is trapping X-amount of MPH and weights this amount you will make around this amount of HP. 30+psi is what you said when you went 115mph. If you weight in around 2700lbs and trap 115mph you are making ABOUT 385HP or 320WHP with a 20% drive train loss. Now you are saying 357whp or 426HP at the crank on 25psi. This is how I see it. 5psi less and 37whp more.. This is why I say it doesn't add up. I'm not trying to take anything from you. I think it's simply awesome to make 357whp regardless of how much PSI or mods. But when you have conflicting stories it causes alot of dought.
