Hmmm. A local car made 800 WHP on a Dynojet.
As far as I know it was a 1.8 liter LSV.
IIRC peak power was somewhere around 9500 RPM.
My math shows a bmep of 590.2.
Granted, this was on race gas, and I am making lots of ASSumptions.
What are the accepted limits for different octane ratings?
again these are all just numbers, when i ran the math:
800 x 5252 / 9500 = 442 ftlbs
150.8 x 442 / 109 = 611.5 psi bmep
not near bisi's bullshit but close, the biggest problem here is the dynojet, and that he was running unknow octane racegas. the best KLimep (knock limited indicated mean effective pressure) indacator for fuel is "performance number" its not really used anymore as alot of shit has changed since WWII.
but here is the short version:
back in the 1930's avgas was measured the same way autogas was by just ON and then how much TEL was added 100/0.5 is 100ON+0.5cc per gallon. then WWII, shit hit the fan and airplains had to fly faster, stronger, longer (kinda like all the gay porn and ghetto booty on this thread) nobody really knew whut the fuck tetra-ethel-lead was, or what it meant to performance, or even what amount said engine was rated with. the pilots would refuse any fuel that did not have the highest numbers (because they didnt want to make it though the battle and fall out of the sky on the way home because of engine failure) ground crews would mark the trucks with what ever they thought the pilots wanted to see, Rick P. was in charge of it all, chaos reigned, at this point the british were getting pissed (for some reason they were the biggest war time supplier of TEL) alot of TEL was blowing out the back of cargo plains because the pilots didnt know how much he needed. the brits and americans came up with the performance number system. they took iso-octane and gave it a arbitrary value of 100 and heptane a value of 0 and said we will rate all engines with iso-octane (on 100 octane) not only not only did it change all the other systems but it made a lean/rich rating, 115/145 or, 115/115, or what ever. with this system the engine was rated at 100 MON (lean motoring octane) so if you had 100/115 gas you could run 100% the rated power lean or 115% rated power rich. the performance number was not the octane number of the fuel and had nothing to do with how much TEL was in it, it was just an indacator of how that engine would run with it. so now all engines had a rating based on iso-octane and so did all fuels, everybody was happy, Budweiser fell from the sky and Hitler shot him self, fagot.
what dose this mean for us?
well, for the most part nothing...
this was just the last time that octane ratings had somthing to do with hp
today octane has nothing to do with the hp rating of any engine or even the output of a CFR engine. i dont claim to really know anything about this mostly because of how fucked up and complicated it's become. RON has only to do with what percentage of iso-octane(100MON) and heptane(0MON) to make the CFR engine run at the same klimep (compression ratio in most cases) as the fuel being tested. MON is measured as the difference in output of 100MON fuel and the test fuel at 900rpm in an engine, but they use a CFR engine. today no engine hp is rated with 100MON fuel so none of these numbers mean anything in YOUR engine. all you can say is that if racerX makes X hp on 92 pump (88 MON) with a lean mixture, then racer Y same motor same conditions exactly running VP C12 (108 MON) may be able to increase boost/CR/timing and get 20% more power on a lean mixture. in practice this is much different because MON is not a preformance number, you dont run lean, the CFR engine is not the same as your engine, the CFR engine is never boosted, the volatility of the fuel, the charge preparation, the difference in bore size, the jacket tempature, the temp and humidity, intercooler on and on and on...
so you get the idea, the last time an octane number meant something to an engine was WWII.
[idontknowhutthefuckimtalkingabout]---------------------------------------------------------------
so MON is a measure of resistance to detonation...
and RON is a way to compare the fuel to iso-octane...
for some stupid fucking reason they average the two (RON+MON)/2=PUMP
WTF!
[/idontknowhutthefuckimtalkingabout]--------------------------------------------------------------
for reference:
VP C12------ (108) race gas is rated in MON only
methanol---115 to 119 (R+M)/2) (133RON) (105MON) "volatile"
pump gas---92 (R+M)/2) (97RON) (88MON)
in all of my fucking around i can tell you that octane seriously changes what compression ratios you can run in naturally aspirated engines. in a boosted engine manifold pressure changes the inlet air density and so the effective compression ratio. so you get the picture, at some point the bmep just isnt going to get any higher without more octane. and from my limited understanding of water injection (i have never used it), you can replace 100% of the rich fuel by weight. so if you made a run at 10.5:1 AFR that did not detonate, then you could make another run at ~13.5:1 AFR with the additional fuel of the previous run replaced by the water/meth and thus take advantage of the no longer unnecessarily rich mixture. this means you can have better power, more timing, lower EGT (mostly from more timing) and still not detonate. nowhere dose it say more octane. thats because the fuel is still the fuel you started with, nothing has really changed that. ^^if you read the horseshit above^^ all you can do with water injection is change a 100/115 fuel to a 115/115 fuel, its still 115 you just changed how its burnt, not its octane.
and, as if this were not confusing enough, the chart above (probably the only meaningful thing ever published on the subject) was credited, to Barber, by Taylor. however, this chart can not be found in any of Barbers published works, so the conditions under witch the data was collected can never be known.
fuck
[talkingoutofmyassagain]----------------------------------------------------------
so ratting wise, since all MON ratings are lean, (14.7:1) you could say that 88 MON (pump gas) running lean with water injection, would have an equivalent KLimep to say... 92 MON running lean without water injection, but not really because again MON is not a preformance number and adding additional fuel or water at this point would only reduce bmep and thus HP.
[/talkingoutofmyassagain]-----------------------------------------------------------
so today you more or less have a rating for the fuel and a rating for the engine, in hp. bmep can be derived from hp and so you can make comparisons to different motors and the types of fuel they run based on it. KLimep is a number that dosnt get changed very easily, there are people who have devoted there entire lives to making that number bigger for certain fuels and engines most of THOSE PEOPLE have worked on THESE ENGINES

wiston cup engine, racegas 92MON--104RON--98(R+M)/2 "98 PUMP"
~850 x 5252 / 9000 = 496 ftlbs
150.8 x 496 / 358 = 208 psi bmep
un-supercharged F1 offy (4.11 liters) methanol see above:
402 x 5252 / 6000 = 352 ftlbs
150.8 x 352 / 255 = 208 psi bmep
prostock engine, race gas 108MON (i think) 118MON (says wiki)
1350 x 5252 / 9500 = 746 ftlbs
150.8 x 746 / 500 = 224 psi bemp
hp for these motors REALLY can not be known for sure, but people i've read/talkto say if your making less than 1350 hp dont even bother. with most of them turning over 10000 now i think this is close.
infact you can run the numbers on any naturally aspirated engine and you'll never get much more than 200 psi on just gas.
now lets run some numbers on bisi new level 9.779 small block running on 91(R+M)/2 (pump gas of coarse):
2527 x 5252 / 8500 = 1562 ftlbs
150.8 x 1562 / 350 = 673 psi bmep
thats right "a 2500hp pump gas 350... I AM LIVEN THE MUTHR FUCKIN DREEEEEAMMM ! ! ! ! ! nothin can stop me now"
to say that everything this nigerian guido mother fucker sells is a "limited time offer" would be a monumental understatement...
go dump some pump gas in a 10.5 outlaw and see how far down the track you get... bisi... fagot

on the dynojet thing:
this is the conversion i use,
DJHP = bhp x 1.30 x ((happiness / 100) + 1)
were:
DJHP- is hp in dynojet land (were bisi is the president)
bhp- is brake horsepower at the crank in the real world (were shit still matters)
1.30- is the "new math" for hp
happiness- is the relative mood of the operator on that particular day
(usually there is somthing like a humidity constant or drive train loss in this spot, but this is dynojet land and we let people correct whut ever the fuck they want, and dont save the corrections with that run file. the number is a % thats based on relative mood of the operator, so is it sunny, rainy, did i buy some shit from the guy, did i do his wife in the pooper, did he do my wife in the pooper, all manner of things can change this number)
so thats right, a 230% increase,
ok mabye thats a little out there, but dynojet numbers are generally 30% higher across the board, and because dynojet knows more about horsepower then everybody else, they dont see a reason to explain why there numbers are so high, just like bisi wont explain why his numbers are so high, or how much he had to smoke to get so high. and dont forget the drive-train loss, witch is not linear, so if you made the run at 9500 your drive loss would be much higher then a run at 6500 depending on how the operator (feels) decided to correct for it. i have read about allot of cars that will get 300hp on one dyno, then get rated on a dynojet with all the correction turned off !!!, and for no good reason at all, get 380hp! the numbers are that far off.
this is a good thread on it
http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123629978and original factory pro article that made me decide not to buy a dynojet, ever
http://www.factorypro.com/dyno/true1.htmldynojets are so bad, many people dont quote them at all, or if they do they quote it in DJHP just because theres 30% right of the top and no way to know for sure what the other corrections were in the run.
lots of dyno makers pull this same shit, land and sea has "environments" were basically anything can happen (even water buffalo power) but the files are not corrected like a dynojet. they even come with an environment called dynojet.env if thats not an inducation of how screwed up things really are, i dont know what is. almost every other dyno that im familiar with "SAVES THE ACTUAL CRANKSHAFT OR DRIVE ROLL TORQUE, UNCORRECTED" except dynojet. moral of this story, dont fucking buy a dynojet, if for no other reason then no one will believe your numbers at all.
