How to Use the Calculator

This calculator has two modes: Basic and Advanced. Let’s walk through how to use each mode with some example values.

1. Basic Calculator

  1. Enter Boost (PSI): Input the boost pressure in PSI. For example, enter 20 PSI.
  2. Horsepower Gain: If you already know the boost, leave this blank to calculate the horsepower gain. Otherwise, enter the horsepower gain to find the required boost.

Formula

For the basic calculator, the formula to calculate horsepower gain is:

HP=B×0.07

Variables

Variable Description
HP Horsepower Gain (HP)
B Boost (PSI)

How To Calculate Boost HP

Example 1: Basic Calculator

  • Boost (PSI): 25 PSI
  • Horsepower Gain: Leave blank

To calculate the Horsepower Gain:

Use the formula:

HP=25×0.07=1.75HP
 
So, the horsepower gain is 1.75 HP.
 
Example 2: Advanced Calculator
  • Boost (PSI): 10 PSI
  • Efficiency Factor (%): 85%
  • Base Horsepower (HP): 250 HP

To calculate the Total Horsepower Gain:

1. Convert the efficiency factor to a decimal:

      Efficiency=85%=0.85

2. Calculate the total horsepower:

      Total HP=250×(1+(10×0.85/100)) Total HP=250×(1+0.085) Total HP=250×1.085=271.25

2. Calculate the horsepower gain:

      Horsepower Gain=271.25250=21.25HP

So, the total horsepower gain is 21.25 HP.
