JohnA Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 The terms fwhp and rwhp are used interchangeably as far as I've seen. They are both products of dyno generosity, living proof that 1/4 mile times are no match for optimism and extrapolation:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Ian Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 370-430 flywheel hp for bpu Supra running stock turbos. Why such a big difference ? like 60 bhp for the same sort of mods? is it 1st decat 370 bhp and both decats 430 bhp ? Just asking chaps Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Thats pretty impressive imoNah, it was at Thor. 1 Brake Thor Power = 1 FWHP (IMO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I think the Thor figures are very reliable for comparison purposes. For a manual, adding about 10-11% to the hub figure puts you in a sensible ball park for flywheel power. My car made 376 at the hubs (good strong BPU manual). Baldy's car is definitely an exception - I believe you are running a few mods other than decat, exhaust and plugs aren't you Baldy? Electric fans, high boost, fmic.... The norm at Thor (hub power) for a BPU car seems to fall between 340 and 380. - Something like 375-420bhp at the flywheel. To be hitting that 420 at the flywheel (or 380+ at the hubs from Thor) you will need to have a large proportion of the following list: A good strong motor to start with, everything running tip top, excellent intercooling, turbos holding together at higher boost, good plugs. 1.2bar boost minimum with a full decat and good cat back exhaust, good fuel, good plugs, alternator and fan pulley/belt system in good condition, sensible induction system (stock being perfect), fuelling somewhere a little leaner than 11.5:1 (about the leanest you'd want to go on a daily driver), and a bit of luck. This is by no means an exclusive list of the necessaries for a good bpu car but hopefully shows that a decat is not the full story. Some people will get the higher figures but inevitably they'll have a fmic, some sort of fuelling adjustment in place and a few other little tweaks (some with cams, ign timing adjustment, water injection, headwork etc and still say it's a bpu car!)

baldy Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 yeah electric fans fmic 1.4 bar 2mm headgasket,but 11 thou off head so just a bit lower than stock cr jake ur right but still up on most that was there that day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
