horsepower?
 

ok so honda and a whole slew of other makes bill their hp at the flywheel, but does hyundai do this and if so whuts my horse at the wheels. and also wheres my damn team sr decals?

Hyundai also rates HP at the flywheel.

For a 2001 Tiburon you have 140 Hp and 132 Ft. Lbs of Torque.

For members 198-230 and 260-270, the stickers are on its way to me as of 2 days ago, and hopefully will be here by early next week.

so whut am i pushin at the wheels?

Varies from transmission to transmission. Anywhere from 120-140. You'd have to put your car up on a dyno to know for sure the exact number.

Yam...
I know this post does not belong here...
but what if I was listed Member # 145 on the list you sent out a few weeks ago? What about my stickers? Thanks :cool:

i understand theres alot of stuff a that has to turn between the flywheel and the wheels but it seems that most makes are losing at least 20 and usually more between the flywheel and the dyno so im thinkin my 5 speed isnt even pushin 115. plz tel me im wrong iago.

Behemoth976, I dynoed my 99 tib 5 speed with CAI only at 121 whp so if the CAI is worth 3-5 whp your right.

Don't worry about horsepower too much. Especially on stock imports, thats what the aftermarket is there for. If you're looking to increase your quarter mile time, taking weight off the car will be just as helpful as adding HP at this point. First things first, get yourself a CAI, and tighten up your throttle cable. The stock intake is very restrictive, and the cable have slack in them. Normally you wouldn't notice the small horsepower increase from the intake, but since it increases throttle response so much, its a nice difference. But anyway, i'm just babbling. Later

Nope, you're not wrong. 100% stock Beta motors have dyno'ed out at anywhere between 110 HP to 121 HP in 100% stock form. 10% Drivetrain loss would knock 140 Hp at the flywheel down to 126 at the wheels. 15% would knock it down to 119 at the wheels. 20% would take it down to 112 at the wheels.

Also...some motors are better from the factory, some are worse from the factory...so some motors come with only 121 HP at the crank...and some come with 154 at the crank just due to the parts used and the clearances used when putting the motor together. That is why Comparing my dyno's to say anyone elses dyno's is not 100% comparable. Also, from dyno to dyno, HP numbers can change.

If I got a say 10 HP increase from a CAI, you should expect the same PERCENTAGE increase from your engine, but not necessarly the same exact HP gain, but the same PERCENTAGE HP gain.
