Japan and european difference

[Puffer_fish]

when the japan engine say 200bhp on the specs it means on crank 200bhp but when it translate to road contact it would be lower.. do anyone know what percentage difference

 

 

but when european cars say 200bhp on spec it really means on the road 200bhp..

 

why the difference

Dont be silly, jap or euro all on crank !!!

 

FF car trans loss is around 15 to 20%

4wd & rwd is ard 20% to 25%

 

all these are manual, auto loss is even more.

bhp spec probably same but I think the 0~100km/h got difference. Usually you must add about 0.5sec to Japan car if you want to make a fair comparision.

 

Japan - Driver only. Fuel tank level??

European - Driver + front passanger + 20kg boot load. Fuel tank level??
