wheel horsepower?

Ok I've looked and searched all over this forum but couldn't find anyone who posted WHEEL horsepower. Most advertisements in magazines or dealers have the BRAKE horsepower which was measured on just the engine itself. All advertisements say that the 2000 Prelude VTEC has 205 hp, but I think that's the BRAKE horsepower. Does anyone actually have dyno numbers that say the wheel horsepower?

you usually lose 15% of your power by the time it gets to the wheels, depending on your drivetrain.

so lets say...205hp lude, minus 15% . so you should be putting around 175 to the wheels.

The 2000 prelude(h22) has 200hp unless your in canada where for some reason their preludes have 205hp.

I still don't get where people are getting this 205hp. The h22 rates at 200hp to the flywheel. Can you send me a few pictures of those ads?

Signal is right, but 175whp is still pretty generous. Most people who take their Preludes to a dyno get high 160's, and Si's usually only 130 to the wheels.

EDIT: This is your first warning. None of that shit here.

yeah...the 205hp thing mystifies me too..someone please explain this to me.

prelude H22a 205 HP is make in africa because it have AEM intake instead JDM intake that why it have 205 Hp kakakakehhe

EDIT: This is your first warning. None of that shit here.
warning for what? did we say something wrong?

Nothing, you're taking it the wrong way.

His post was edited by a mod, and the warning is to him, not us.

The evil nazi mod was me :evillol: He was trying to pick a fight with all of Prelude-kind :nono:

There are no 205hp stock Preludes in Canada, they came the same as the USDM versions. I'm in Canada for your info.

THANK YOU.

Finally..we have official confirmation.

crap . i live in Africa my Lude have 205 Hp stock...but some reason i lost to a horse Rider .. Darn it...

So how would you think a Sentra SE-R automatic would stack up against a Prelude VTEC automatic? The lude has exhaust, intake, crank pulley, and a SAFCII. The SER has intake, exhaust, header, and SAFCII and possibly LSD and Balance shaft removed.

prelude will eat Sentra

ok i was just wondering cuz their hp difference isn't completely huge or anything, plus the lude weighs about 300 pounds more.

SE-R and SE-R Spec V. 165-175 HP 175-180 Torque Curb Weight, lbs. 2548
prelude Vtec Curb Weight, lbs. 2809 190 HP 158 Torque

i think Se-R should be good fight with integra GSR
Gs-R Curb Weight, lbs. 2529 170Hp 128 torque

i don't know, I think the lude will win, but i don't think it would actually wipe the floor with the SE-R. I'm not doubting who's going to win, im just saying how much would the lude win by.

i've seen this SE-R at the track running 14.x naturally aspirated....kinda hard to do in a lude.

14's are cake in a lude. you could probably hit it with a bone stock motor, just throw some mt's on.

You just need to drive and shift flawlessly. It's possible.

ive done a 14.7 on a 93 lude vtec........... not really :( never got to race one, i will though soon.

im talking about an auto SE-R with CAI, catback, header, pulleys, and SAFCII verses a Prelude VTEC automatic with CAI, exhaust, pullies and SAFC

well a vtec prelude that has a SAFC, the owner could easily tune vtec to come in on 3-4 rpm, giving him a mugh higher adavnatage. dont forget about VTEC!!! :D

first its a vafc that youre refering to... and just cause you turn vtec down to 3k doesnt mean youre going to gain power. youll probably end up losing midrange doing that. stock engagement is 5200 for a reason, and worked and tuned engines are usually best at about 4800.

look at this graph. heres an example when vtec is below where its supposed to be set.

damn that's a huge drop
