power steering i think, it depends on context that it's used in. yeah bhp is some kind of horsepower.

in other countries don't they have another name for horsepower when you say 170ps. they are rating the engine preformance i know i have seen that but i can't remember what it stands for at this moment.

Us americans dont have to worry about that cause we do all our calculations w/ hp @ ft-lbs... :flipa:

possibly, but Pa is generally used for Pascal, and that is a unit of pressure, not power. I am an engineering Major and i have never seen "ps" used as an abbrv. for a unit.
I thought ps meant "post script" like:
ps- don't forget there is a test tomarrow.
It might be a funky CGS system measurement, they have alot of crazy-assed units. Never know though with these metric boys...

ps is used in Japan as a measurement similar to hp
its that similar that up to about 100 theyre the same
I think ps is slightly higher than hp
ie 170ps is about 167hp or somthing like that.
It dont really matter, I just take them as the same.
Im sure someone will sort it out more accurately
