So how much bhp does a 182 have

[saxo2clio]

Sounds a silly question but some mags are quoting 179bhp and 180bhp. Seems the 182 is the PS figure.

Is this correct??

 

[Illusion]

AFAIK this is true - same with the 172

 

[Tom]

182 bhp.

A 172 also has 172bhp

(din)

Different ways of calculating hp.

The 172 has 166.6 hp in British measurment.

The 182 would therefore have about 176.7hp.

Doesnt matter whats a few hp.

 

[Tom]

Nice edde nice. but thats not what he asked.

170 bhp as we know it for the 172, and 179bhp for the 182!

Thats bhp sae right?

 

[Paul_P1]

SAE is usually higher than DIN aint it?

 

[Mike@Rentech]

hey tom dont call him a din

 

[Tom]

No bhp (din) is PS

 

[Paul_P1]

iv) S.A.E Rating
For the purposes of standardisation, the SAE ‘defines’ the BHP of an engine as per (ii) above but when run without any ‘Auxiliaries’ such as the Radiator Fan, Air Cleaner and the Dynamo/Alternator. However, the Fuel, Lube oil and Jacket Cooling Water Circulation Pumps stand included.

The BHP so measured by a Dynamometer stands further corrected to ‘Normal Temperature, Pressure and Humidity conditions (NTP) and the value so obtained is known as the SAE-BHP Rating.

v) DIN Rating
This as defined in the German Standard and is measured/corrected to NTP conditions BUT includes all the Engine Auxiliaries otherwise excluded in the SAE definition.

So technically SAE will be higher than DIN.

SAE has nothing to do with it really! - lol

 

[Tom]

But the official figures are given in din.

so converting back to bhp sae could be a problem. (based on the above)

 

[Paul_P1]

To answer the original question though the 182 figure is PS!

 

[Paul_P1]

Is there an echo in here?

 

[geoff_clio182]

Yeah its called Tom

 

[saxo2clio]

Thanks gents, just asking out of interest.......so has the 206Gti180 got 180PS or 180bhp, any ideas??

Im worried that my 182 might be deficient in that department!!!

 

[Moby]

pug is PS I believe.

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

Peugeot use PS figures

 

[Brazo]

EVO quote 179 for 182 and 180 for pug180, but dont let that put you off as they think pug is a pile of sh*t!

 

[Ben j]

they prob have 172 bhp
