Simply put, crank horsepower isolates the engine, so you can know how much horsepower the engine alone generates without the drivetrain or any modifications. CHP is measured on an engine dynamometer. When testing and promoting our products, we measure everything in WHP. Posted in Testing and Tuning.
Also known as drivetrain loss , this refers to power lost by the engine from the time it travels through the transmission to the driveline, and through the axles to the wheels. You should consider this before starting your project to avoid disappointment when your car gets hits the dyno. If you are searching for a wheel horsepower target you can use the following recommendations to calculate your target crank horsepower.
For this example we are going to start with a wheel horsepower target of for a rear wheel drive application. In order to find a turbo that can support our target power we need to calculate for the drivetrain loss and multiply x 1. With drivetrain loss being a complicated and unknown science due to nearly thousands of combinations of parts, properly sizing a turbocharger can save lots of time and headaches at the dyno.

One more step to complete your registration. You can come across the value by using a dynamometer and torque converter to connect to the engine. Measurement of the braking horsepower takes place on the flywheel under controlled conditions. The BHP is usually higher than the horsepower. One horsepower is equivalent to 1.
When you notice that you have a lower horsepower than expected, you may have an engine problem. Some of the issues include engine knocking or broken parts. What about BHP vs. The two are the same, and they measure horsepower at the flywheel or crankshaft.
A thing to note about the HP vs. When looking at the engine power, you have the one the manufacturer indicates to you. This is the horsepower, and, as earlier mentioned, it does not account for factors like drivetrain loss and friction. On the other hand, the wheel horsepower will account for these variables and show you the energy on your wheels.
It is the value to consider to know how much power the car uses in motion. The drivetrain loss comes due to the vast effort of the engine to transmit energy to the wheels. For instance, from the engine, differentials, the prop shaft, drive shafts, then to the wheels. It is too much effort, and you will lose significant energy values. Back to the calculation, there is the point of the drivetrain you are using and how it determines your HP to WHP value.
Accounting for the loss, we will multiply it by , then divide by for the percentage. The final value is BHP. However, 1 Horsepower is equal to 1. This value is the power coming from the engine.
In this case, it is 0. It is usually less than the HP due to drivetrain loss, mostly caused by friction. There are different kinds of horsepower, such as the wheel, the braking, and crankshaft horsepower. You will find that the most powerful engines have the higher horsepower.
When the transmission system relays power from the crank or flywheel to the wheels, some of it gets lost.
