Comments like that only make things more confusing to some....please don't say these things guys, 185 bhp B16B is around 160-165 whp! Now, how come and your calculation showed 135-138 whp for 180 bhp?
Bhp at the wheels?? What's that??
agreed, best to do a bit of
before you say some things vtec.
seeing as rolling roads are a measure of power AT THE WHEELS then the power atw should be correct and it looks like he has got his power at fly estimate WAAAAAAY off!!
agreed, some dyno's do read "estimated flywheel horsepower" also some dyno's are just crap too
Because this is what my friends ek9 got on a recent rolling road day on a brand new dyno dynamics machine
that explains it all, my car made 208hp on a dyno dynamics
pure crap, i hate those dyno's unless the user knows exactly how to use it, its gonna be WAY off. i didnt even pay the guy, i just drove off. dynojet and AEM showed my car to actually have 317whp at that time.
and by the way manos its a forum people can express there opinions on feelings etc whats it got to do with you
you certainly can express your opinion, but your making it sound like a fact, and thats why manos is jumping on you, thats why whenever I say something if im not sure i always say "imo" "iirc" (imo= in my opinion and iirc= if i recall correctly)
what is the ruff transmission loss for a ek9 ive been told a few different
15% drivetrain loss is typical for a front wheel drive car which would put an ek9 right at 157.25whp honda gearbox's are a bit more efficient than others so the 160-165 manos suggest is possible, but mostly ive seen around 156whp.
You normally get a engine power(power at the flywheel) and torque print out and power at the wheels (whp) on rolling roads in the uk and his figures were 180 bhp at the flywheel(engine power) and 144 bhp at the wheels(whp) i was a bit off with his whp
thats like saying you have xxxwhp at the flywheel. it dosent make sense.
hero his was 180 at the flywheel and 144 whp making it a 36 bhp transmission loss
