can anybody tell me

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

in the haynes manuals the bhp reading is it wheels or flywheel

 

the rolling road is wheels and my 1.3 escort was 66bhp at the wheels

 

my mate says the haynes manual figures is the flywheel so therefore my 1.3 must have been good as you loose bhp between the fly wheel and wheels

 

or am i just thick

[Copey]

not thick coz i havnt got a clue either!

They'll be flywheel figures in the haynes manual much like the manufacturer quotes in their own glossy publications.

 

Whilst the flywheel figure is more accurate for engine output, it's what you can get onto the black stuff that counts.

so was 66 at the wheels good for a 1.3 escort
