it's probably pushing 122 at the flywheel - its round about 12% lost through transmission for fwd and 33% lost thru 4x4.


Mine was pushing out 165 at the flywheel - so I figured I've got c150 at the wheels.

mine was doing 140.5bhp at flywheel but only 95.5bhp at the wheels! ???

you can't just say that every car will be losing about 12%.

i would guess yours is doing more than mine at the flywheel. what have you done to it?

"mine was doing 140.5bhp at flywheel but only 95.5bhp at the wheels"

I understood that a std mk2 8v would push out 118bhp at  the flwheel and 100 at the wheel.

That was my rule of thumb - mk4 maybe a different kettle o'fish !!



btw - I guess fuelling has to come into consideration - my 16v was running so lean Grantmotorsport managed to get 12bhp thru mixture alone!!!

when i got these figures it was running original air box (with lots of plastic missing from it), mesh removed from air flow meter, kent cam and pulley, and powerflow system from cat back. i'm currently working on another engine for it!
