Thats a great site for bhp figure addicts.... quote:
"My own figures for transmission losses have been stated in previous articles but to recap they are usually no more than 15% of the flywheel power for FWD vehicles and no more than 17% for RWD ones. A good guide is to deduct 10% of the flywheel figure plus another 10 bhp for FWD and 12% plus 10 bhp for RWD. If you are starting from a wheel bhp figure then you have to apply those equations in reverse - add 10 bhp then divide by 0.9 for FWD or 0.88 for RWD to get back to a flywheel figure. Those figures were not just plucked out of thin air. They represent the culmination of many years of research and testing combined with the views of reputable companies like Bosch and VW."
