that's 200 hp...where????

We just figured he had a dirty air filter, crappy plugs, and about 50K miles on his oil. That would bring the HP at the crank down to around 200HP

Phoenix,

Some people got rude with you but that subarusvx.com website will only educate you some more about the SVX. If you've already read it, then try searching this forum for whatever specific info you desire.

No one will truly know whether a supposedly Turbo'd Mazda3 could beat an SVX - there are just too many variables.

Good luck in your race and definitely take it to the track!

thanks i have the read that site but there is no info on the boost which is why i asked, i also heard that just because it says it has 230 hp dosent mean it does they guy who told me this said becuase your engine is making that much you may not be outputting that much because of the weight of the car or different issues and i dont know about the boost or what not but it dosent make sense for it to have No boost but thanks for the help chiketkd and burgandy

...

maybe go do a search on "naturaly aspirated" and "turbo" in ...

you will find that there in NO BOOST in a NA (naturally aspirated) car...

sounds like your friend knows less than you...

"efficiency the SVX should produce 228 hp"

"However, consider the temperature of the air. Under the hood, without any type of insulation, I am willing to bet the temperature is probably not far from the temp of the thermostat. To be conservative, let's say the new cone filter is breathing in 160 degree under hood air instead of 77 degree air. Using the previous formula, but adjusting the air temperature what is the mass flow rate? 19.64 lbs/hour. That amounts to 199 horsepower. Here are calculations for a couple other temps at 98% VE:"

Son, I could build a barebones system quicker than you could actually research a car...

PCI - Peripheral Component Interconnect (soundcards, network cards, SCSI cards, video cards etc.)
AGP - Accellerated Graphics Port (strictly AGP video cards)

5 periods and that might have made sense.

Phoenix,

That change in engine horsepower is not specific to the SVX but true of all cars both NA and forced induction. When the air temp is cooler, the air molecules are denser allowing an engine to make more horsepower. The reverse happens when things heat up...

So if you took an SVX out on a 40* day, it would be making close to 250hp, but on a 100* day the output would be closer to 220hp.
