Why so much skepticism? So many numbers floating around without any performance proof and no one is questioning their validity only because they´re in some ballpark what has been done.
Ito gave us dyno sheet and peformance proof, so what´s the problem?
I just put some numbers to turbo calculator, gave it very conservative IC efficiency, assumed 90% VE at peak power (I think this is pretty valid), conservative BSFC and AFR and it spit out 300 HP@crank at 9 psi boost. Torque values are also valid.
It seems that people are totally forgetting what makes power. I just happens that this very example is working efficiently despite all ods and doubts
Given the fact that Ito didn´t mentioned race weight, we can just guess. But at 3000 pounds, 300 HP would be totally valid.
Ito, could you share weight? Just to keep track with how the car performs
