Does anyone know how to convert BHP into U.S horsepower, or are they pretty much equivalent? Or is it different names for the same thing?

Re: Horsepower Conversion
they are different names for the same thing, the B just stands for Brake.

Re: Horsepower Conversion
Most European countries use DIN horsepower which is a touch different. It uses a different formula since tq is most often measured in Nm over there.
The net result is very similar, for instance a BMW that I had was advertised at 170 hp in the states, but 168 in Europe. Consider it the same, but it is slightly different.

Re: Horsepower Conversion
I thought they used watts instead of hp over there
