Northiswara,
I think it is 140 bhp leh. Don't know how much that is in whp though. Or are they the same thing ?....I keep getting these two rates confused.
u mean that iswara is 140bhp? last time saw from a car magazine it says 140whp and a lot of ppl also jumping high reading 140WHP. maybe its 140bhp lar. not sure also.
bhp is not same as whp.
bhp=brake horse power
whp=wheel horse power.
Brake horsepower
Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engine's horsepower without the loss in power caused by the gearbox, generator, differential, water pump, and other auxiliary components such as alternator, power steering, and AC compressor. Thus the prefix "brake" refers to where the power is measured: at the engine's output shaft, as on an engine dynamometer. The actual horsepower delivered to the driving wheels is less. An engine would have to be retested to obtain a rating in another system. The term "brake" refers to the original use of a band brake to measure torque during the test (which is multiplied by the engine RPM and a scaling constant to give horsepower).
Effective horsepower / true horsepower / wheel horsepower
Effective horsepower (ehp), True horsepower (thp) or wheel horsepower (whp) is the power converted to useful work. In the case of a road vehicle this is the power actually turned into forward motion as measured on a chassis dynamometer.
"True hp" is generally 10% to 20% less than the engine's "bhp" ratings due to drivetrain losses.
Wheel horsepower (whp) is the more widely used term for effective horsepower.
