Random, what is bhp and how does it relate to hp? Feeling really stupid. This comes from someones statement about 190 bhp N/A.

There are various different was you can measure HP. Engine (Crank) HP with accesories, Engine (Crank) HP without accessories, Wheels Weighted dyno, Wheels Brake Dyno, wheels resistance dyno..etc..etc..

There are also 4 or 5 different HP methodologies out there. The UK folks use a different HP standard than ours, so they usually run about 5-10 HP below USA numbers. They usually list their numbers as PS rather than HP when using HP.

For all intensive purposes BHP = HP. The added "B" means BRAKE. This means the device was tested on a brake dyno vs another kind of dyno. There are brake engine dyno's and brake wheel dyno's, so they are telling you they have 190 HP to the engine crank, or 190 to the wheels. Either way, with a Beta motor, that's a significant number for the USA.

BTW...moving to General Performance, as others my have the same question.

Thanks Ramdom. I can't find the Post, but it was someone with 2 Tiburons one Turbo and one N/A. Someone else asked how he got 190 N/A but can't remember where it was Posted.

That was turboman and Tasos. Tasos is the one with the 190 NA to the wheels.

I'm still waiting for Turboman to get me his dynos and such...

It is 'Props to Tasos' coupe in the off topic or humor forum.

I have no clue how he got 190 HP to the wheels without an overbore...as the best the folks in korea can do is 170-180 to the wheels N/A.
