Would anyone have a site that converts known density altitude to sea level times? Most of the charts that I find will list naturally aspirated or modified turbo or supercharged vehicles. Am looking for stock (or near stock) turbo car charts...

Current runs are at 5206 density altitude...
 
Density changes with local pressure and temp.
If you give me your elevation, temp and pressure at sea level i can try to work it out for u. Bit difficult going the other way.
 
Thanks for the response... What I was getting at is I have a calculated density altitude of 5206 ft. Under that condition what is the correction factor to sea level? 13.05 @ 107.57 mph

120 feet for each degree from standard temp for the pressure altitude.
Start with sea l evel pressure diff between it and 1013mb . 30 feet per mb. So if MSL pressure is 1020 them 1013 is above that so 7x 30=210’, subtract that from elevation and you have pressure height.
Then work out temp for that pressure altitude starting with 15 degs celcius. You have to work out what it is a cording tomstd temp so 15. - (altiude in thousands x2degs) = std temp. Temp changes 2 deg C every 1000’. If the actual temp is hotter than std you add the height other wise if colder you subtract it.
For example;
Elv 3000 avtual temp is 25 deg C
Msl press 1020mb

1013-1020= -7 X30’ = -210
3000-210=2790’
15-(2.79x2)=9.42 deg C std temp
Actual temp=25 deg so its hotter by 15.58 deg
Pressure height 2790 + (15.58x120’)=4669.56’ density height

You will have to work it out going backwards.
I bet your confused now lol
 
I only use this for flying. So far as cars are concerned thats not my forte.

Gee... I knew you were a pilot.. I remember doing calculations on that funky slide rule thing back in the day!

Thanks so much for the refresher info, but what I'm looking for is a chart/calculator to convert my own d/a calculation + my own et/mph to sea level.

Sorry cant help you there looks like a google job.

Boy are you lucky, found this site with all the calculators. Scroll down the page and what you want is there.
