converting boost to horsepowerdominate9 05-03-2002, 04:55 PM Is there some type of conversation for boost to horsepower? How do I tell how much HP will be gained from a certain boost drift 05-04-2002, 01:43 AM no. there are too many variables like compression ratio, cams, headwork, ignition advance, fuel... just like any NA motor. boosted331 05-06-2002, 06:51 PM To give you a ROUGH idea, take your naturally aspirated horsepower and devide it by 14.7, then multiply that number by 14.7 + X amount of boost. So say you had a 200 horsepower engine, and you were adding an 8 lb turbo. 200/14.7 = 13.6054 13.6054*(14.7+8) = 308.84 HP That's just a rough guesstimate, that doesn't take into account that if it was a centrifugal blower it won't hit peak boost when you were normally hitting peak horsepower, parasitic loss from driving a blower, etc, etc, etc. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
