Default S4 B5 HP Question?

Hi,
What number do you multiply with the AWHP do get the accurate hp at the crank? The car is a 01' S4
I've read anything between 0,83-0,87?

Its a little tuned so maybe the Horsepower loss i bigger ?

Thanx for answers!

"multiply 1.28 to estimate power to the crank"

Default you would actually divide by those numbers, really depends on the dyno

and this subject is a very sensitive one on this forum (lots of pink ponies). The best way to make a comparison is have a stock car on the dyno the same day. What kind of dyno?

That's dyno dependant. That is what AWE has come up with for their dyno.

Default You'd think so, but no. It really does vary from Dyno to Dyno. Yes, using the 1.28

method is usable, but not accurate on all other dynos.

PhillyS4951 has it right. Same dyno, run a stock car, then the car in question.
