hey guys was wondering if some one could tell me wot 187rear wheel horsepower converts to in flywheel Kilowatts?? any help cheers

here ya go, it'll convert hp to kw.. as for flywheel to rear wheel, depends on allot of things.. http://www.wentec.com/unipower/calculators/kw_hp.asp

I've got a HP-KW Calculator converter that I got from FLI.355 which is very good. However, there are also other dependencies and varying factors, but it gives you a general calculation. 187kw converts to about 250.58hp. Therefore, you'd have 250.58hp at the wheels. Is it an auto or Manual? For a Manual Transmission, 250.58hp at the wheels converts to 343.26hp at the engine. For an Auto Transmission, 250.58hp at the wheels converts to 357.97hp at the engine. This is all working off 27% drivetrain loss for manuals, and 30% for auto's. How's that for ya?

good info, but i think he means he has 187 rear wheel horsepower. what's that in kw? and at the flywheel then?

Ahhh - lol! I miss read. Bloody did all that mathematics for nuthin'! Ok JETWPN` - here's the new calculations... For a Manual Transmission, 187hp at the wheels converts to 139.55kw at the wheels. But I don't have anything that converts kw at the wheels to kw at the engine. But I'm guessing 139.55kw at the rears equates to about 190kw at the flywheel...

yea i gathered it was something around there, im actually selling my vr ss ss which turned 187 hp to the the treads, i bought another vl so its time to sell, the only reason im askin is cause whoever had it b4 stuck a 215i sticker on the back and a HSV badge, now im selling it people are askin if it really is a HSv and 215i, im guesin its around the 200kw mark cheers for ya help guys

for a simple rule that gets very close, your rear wheel hp is your kw at the fly work it out, it comes in very close so u would b lookin at bout 187-190fwkW

Kw to Hp 1Kw = 1.34Hp so 300Kw is 402Hp you just multiply the killowats by 1.34 and then you have your Hp. this is the only maths i know....

yep 1hp=0.746kw 1kw=1.341hp hp=kw/1.341 kw=hp*1.341

hey gatecrasher whats this calculator your talking about?

It's just a Excel Spreadsheet with some formula's on it. What's your e-mail address? Cuz I'll e-mail it to ya if you want. - Dave

awesome. thanks dude.

and if your to lazy to use a calculator there a kw to hp and hp to kw converter on this site http://www.rb20det.com/kwtobhp.html of coarse you have to figure drivetrain loss in if you want rwhp or rwkw cheers,

if you have a newish model phone with a converter on it.. set it up so it converts kw - hp.. hp - kw. always comes in handy.
