Even a WRC car 'only' runs around 300bhp. What are you planning on doing with 300kw exactly?

well 300BHP is 402.3kw ?[EDIT] - 304kw atw witch i have seen done recently but engien did die after 27000km's due to a bottom end bearing failure
now sure it was 304kw at the wheels thou would have to call my mate so dont hold me to the figure as yet

1 HP = 0.7457 KW / 1KW = 1.341 BHP


ive decided to go for 250kw and then try push for more later

id be happy to reach 250kw as a starting point


will be used for up hill/ down hill tarmac time trials/and queensland raceway track days when its finished


and when i get my opens back will be used for the average club cruise as well
will be siting in my shed for the 5 other days of the week

No. 300hp is 220kW. 300kW = 400hp

[bobbyjimmy]

300hp = 223kw.

[xSMOKEx]

300hp = 223kw.

BHP =

BHP is not the same as HP


HP is horsepower

BHP is Brake Horse Power

HP is general term for Horse power. While BHP stands for brake HP. BHP takes into account the efficiency of transmission which is never 100%. Brake means if you apply a brake to stop the machine how much energy is needed; that is in simple terms. BHP is measured using a dynamometer at the driven shaft.

[Marv]

Yes, but 300hp is very, very close to 300bhp.

400kW does not equal 300hp, 300bhp or 300ps.

300bhp is 400kw

read back up mate

1KW = 1.341 BHP

1.341 x 300kw

402.3kw

dont see how im wrong on my equation ?

please tell me if i am and how i am

[Marv]

300bhp is 400kw

read back up mate

1KW = 1.341 BHP

1.341 x 300kw

If your only chasing 250 just get a semi c/d 2.5 throw some forgies in it & v3 heads and youll be sweet. cheak out franks lib, much the same with 235kwatw on run in.
Could easily make 250

lol

Those are the worst calculations I have EVER seen.


Google it.

[xSMOKEx]

im completely wrong

shit my bad sorry just seen where i went wrong lol

was usieng the wrong conversion

here sthe correct 1


http://www.custom-ca...onversions.aspx

Power
brake horsepower (bhp) × 745.7 = Watts (kW) × 0.0013 = brake horsepower (bhp)
brake horsepower (bhp) × 0.746 = Kilowatts (W)) × 1.341 = brake horsepower (bhp)

so its 223.8kw

so i appologize
