How much is 6 wheel horse power. Is it about 15 hp from the engine. New to this stuff trying to learn a little. Sorry for all the uestions. Thanks.

 

it depends on the drivetrain loss and other factors

roughly about 25% for Gs i think

 

15% is reasonable accurate on the G.

6WHP is within the error range on a dyno.

 

So how would i figure the actual HP is with those %. Thanks

 

Unfortunately driveline friction losses are not level and vary with rpm and all fluid temperatures plus tire temperatures.

So it is impossible to state a specific friction loss [ as a %] without specing an rpm and temperature for every variable.

Most approximations are wishful ranges that assume the publish numbers are correct when engines actually vary by +- 5 HP and lb/ft from unit to unit when brand new.

The factory actually measures 5-20 units and gives either best peak or high average.

 

the only real way to get a car's actual WHP is to take it to a dyno.

and even then, there's still small variables that will make small differences.
