diff between whp and bhp ?

what is the differance between the whp and bhp ?

bhp is Base Horse Power... which means at the flywheel, you have 125bhp. and whp is Wheel Horse Power, when the power goes through the transmission, you loose some horsepower, and torque. like a h22 is rated at 200 hp and 160 tq, BUT if you put that motor in a car, and run it on a dyno, it will say, 180hp, 145tq (rough guess)

i get it now , thank you alot

no problem!

bhp is brake horsepower, but it does measure at the flywheel

brake?... thought there was base hp also?

base hp would be talking about how much you start with when you are peformance tuning. I'm unsure on why it is brake hp, but its the term they use on Top Gear, so I'm just going by that.

So you don't know if it's true or not, it's just something that you've heard...
