What MAF g/s airflow have you reached

[Rick_RS4]

has anyone done any logs to how much g/s airflow they reached through their MAF?

i went out lastnight and reached 160 g/s, mine is totally stock bar a CAF

i read you can work out rough bhp from this by deviding by 0.8 but this would be very low, does this only work with turbo cars?

[ArthurPE]

that is only 1 bank...

8000 rev/min / 60 sec/min x 1/2 (intake cycle/rev) x 4.2 liter x 1.2 gm/liter (varies with temp/atm P/humid) ~ 336 g/sec for the whole engine or 168 for 1 bank...

this assumes a vol eff of 1 (it is usually a bit higher 1.02 or so) and assumes 8000 rpm

what RPM? temperature? humid? atm P and altitude...

160 sounds like a good number and using your factor ~ 160 / 0.8 x 2 banks ~ 400 HP

I have a P/P IM and in cold weather (40f and below) The best MAF I logged was 172g/s (recent carbon clean).

Weather conditions (as Arthur states above) dictate a lot, in 60F+ weather I see 150-155g/s.

I know you have CAF, is the IM also p/p? Minimal gains but every little helps in the end.

[Keith@APR]

If I remember correctly the APR Stage III makes 235 g/s.

Pre port polish the best I recorded mine peaked at 158 and that was on a 85k mile car, standard with BMC filter approx. 20 degrees C. Post port polish best it peaked at is 165, slightly higher air temp.

[lugars4]

I had 158 g/sec @ 7680 rpm.

That was stock, unfortunatly didnt make it to the red line. 4th gear, cant remember the temp. It was one evening in April, say 8 deg.

I will do another log shortly. Having fitted a BMC filer, Milltek cat-back. Also new plugs but doubt that will make a difference. Infact i doubt i will see much difference from the mods done. Maybe a little.

Temperature does make a big difference.

For the same volumetric flow: 160 g/sec @ 5 deg C = 149 g/sec @ 25 deg C.
So running at 5 deg rather than 25 deg should give 7.2% more mass flow.

The columns above are:

Timestamp RPM g/s %throttle timing

[P_G]

I gather the first one is the TTS Rotrex charger? If so, that is some power it is producing

[thedoluk]

284 / 0.8 x 2 banks = 710 = I want

[sonny]

Doug can you remember what mine was with the stage II manifold and GruppeM?
