BHP flywheel and BHP at the wheels

[Scrooge]

so my cars is a supposed 80 horsepower is that at the wheels or flywheel and what would be the difference between the two,i can imagine alot!

 

[alexbleubolt]

yes one is smaller than the other, and one has rubber aroudn it like a condom

 

[alexbleubolt]

i am sure its very important, you can get some iron on t-shirt printing stuff and say my car is 80 hp on the wheels and wear it to college

[Scrooge]

geezer what are you on, i knoe the difference between the two components themselves!serious answers please.i dont go college either!

 

[franx]

^^LOL

Yeah i guess it would have meant flywheel power.. throw about a 13% equation (downwards) on there and you'll have the wheel hp to print on the tshirt

 

[Scrooge]

lol yay are all cars power eg 172 182 measured from the flywheel?

 

[jamesp24]

Yeh, most cars figures are ATF.

cheers mate appreciated

ATF is higher. So to attract customers who normally think bigger is better most companies will advertise the ATF value.
