bhp(brake horse power) is the actual engine horsepower. As soon as your car stars moving, 10-15% of your bhp is lost due to friction in order to be conveyed to the wheels . I'm not sure whats the conversion for turbocharged cars though
my understanding was bhp is hp measured at the flywheel. when a car company advertises HP they are referring to bhp. unless i see whp i always assume its bhp.
Yea, car companies always advertise the car's bhp and its common sense why they do this. Also who says that his car produces a certain horsepower meaning whp and not bhp?
Personally, I prefer to say that my EK9 makes 185 bhp instead of saying 165 whp. I also like my clock to read km/h and not ml/h
Bigger numbers make bigger impressions
in that case im going to star measuring my member in millimeters and instead of hp why not use mp? monkey power that is, a monkey can do 1/3 the amount of work a horse can do in 1 hour which is 1hp so 1hp=3mp so i can say my car has 900monkey power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
are you serious, is there really a conversion from dp to hp? cause the monkey power thing i said was real, it was actually reshearched.
hi everybody, i am very concerned about my ek9, at the moment i have a custom exaust and a mugen air box. i thought id take my car down to the rolling road and see what bhp i have got. they did 3 runs and the power was 164bhp which is crap. i dont know why my car has lost horsepower there are no lights on or anything.
does anybody know what could be wrong with my car or what problems it might have....??
thanks Jordan
LOOOOOL!!!!! I thought you were joking, of course and theres no such a dinosaur conversion mate. Man....that's funny. So, the research says that 3 monkeys have the power of 1 horse?
Dyno cost 75$(US) for 3 runs
I had 173 wwith PCT AEM short intake and Mugen silencer, ITR B-pipe.
"STOCK" I say?
it is a 164bhp at the fly wheel which i think is low considering it should be 185bhp. I had a problem which my distrubutor cap and rotar arm so i took the whole thing off and replaced it but when i put it back on it might not be in the right postion so the timing could be out..?
