Temp effect on Dyno?

What kind of difference in HP will 30degrees in temperature make on the Dyno?

Do you mean 30 degrees ambient or inlet temp.

I mean outside temperature, room temperature.

Rule of thumb for NA motors is 10*F = 1%, however you're boosted.

Depending on your altitude and since you don't have a wastegate controlling Xpsi of boost, just switch on SAE correction and see what difference it makes. If you get the DynoJet Runviewer files, it's pretty easy to guesstimate.

you will notice a lot of difference, possibly as much as 20whp if you were to leave the numbers uncorrected. If corrected using SAE it will be within 1-2% no matter what the outside temp is.

The conditions of my run were 93.34degrees, 30.18 in-Hg, 29% Humidity. I see alot of Dyno that run in the low 70 degrees. So 30degrees difference could mean 3-6% on boosted cars?

Is it SAE corrected?

look at the printouts and it will list correction. It will more than likely say either SAE, STD, or Uncorrected.

I am pretty sure it says STD, what does that stand for?

It's just another type of correction...typically less aggressive then SAE.

What are you trying to figure out here? Compare two dynos of your car from different times in the year, ie winter and now summer?

actually STD is more aggressive and will always show higher numbers than SAE.

I guess it depends on how you look at it.

STD will be closer to non-corrected numbers the farther you get from SAE standard conditions.

Since we are on the subject of correction factors, does anyone know how the different CFs are calculated?

Hopefully, someday SAE comes out with a correction factor for boosted cars especially high altitude intercooled turbo cars.
