Here is another example. Take a look at the Norris Designs Evo and also the RC Developements Evo. They both quote figures around and in excess of 800bhp. But they have 250-300bhp Transmission loss and around 600bhp at the wheels. How does that happen??!!
What happens when a cars horsepower increases that affects the resistance of the transmission?? Always baffled me that one.
"250-300bhp and theres what 1.21? kilowats in 1bhp.
Looking at an electric heater that puts out 3kilowats there hot.
over 200kilowats sureley would melt the transmition like chocolate.
Exactly.
So what does that tell us?? It tells ME that the Norris EVO and the RC Developments EVO are 600 (or whatever) bhp at the wheels, but NOT 800-900 at the engine (until the figures are verified on an Engine Dyno that is).
