does any1 know what our HP per new SAE testing standards is?

I know this has probably been asked before but i just got out of the shower, and im still wet/nude and needed an answer asap!

I don't think it's ever been tested to the new standard. People are guessing 240-250.

yeah, 240-245hp is a safe bet. i imagine that the accessory losses wouldn't change dramatically between model years.

im going by old 04+ TL HP ratings that were at 270 before the new standards went in and now they are at 253.
so im assuming we are rated at 243.

The j32a2 was never put in the New TL, it was a different Revision. I think our numbers are nearly the same as they were before.

Its not that the engines are different, or what they are in. Its just a different way of rating the HP.

TLsu

258(SAE corrected hp for 3g)/270(original hp for 3g) = .955


260 *.955 = 248.44 projected hp SAE corrected for UA5 Type S

225* .955 = 215 projected hp SAE corrected for UA5 Premium

that's a good way to make an estimate. although is still not correct it might be pretty close

fsttyms1

Either way it doesnt matter because our motors wernt tested with this correction. And the only way to know would be to have it tested. And id bet no one will pull the motor out of their car to be tested that way just to find out

I agree FST,

But I have seen so many road reviews where the Type S smoked the regular 04 TL

how can this be rated lower than the gen4? I thought overall our engine was better and is the best 3.2 litre, bar none excep the M3 of course.

The J32A2 is a great engine because it produces a lot of hp/liter in stock form, and is able to use minor bolt-ons to bump it another 30-40hp. Not many engines put out almost 94 hp/liter in a naturally aspirated form.

I'd like to see some links for those road reviews though.

broly

not smoked
.1

but you can see it just by comparin

The TL is underrated I thought and on premium fuel it does 5.9 0-60?

fsttyms1

Yea the 3rd gen 6speed does that. The 2nd gen auto doesnt

I think the j32 actually produces 300 crank hp, but our shitty tranny's lose 35% of the power, so whp is actually 195-200. JK. I imagine the J32 and 3G TL engines would test the same using the new SAE standards. just my guess though.

njtls

does it really matter how much the new sae standards change our hp rating? its not gonna make it any faster or slower

actright

well, its good to know for magazine racing ::

etxxz

260/232 w/ a 25-27% loss puts out 190-195hp and is probable that the 3g TL does make the extra 10hp

^^^^^^^i was kidding.
