So i was wondering what my estimated hp is. So the stock D16Z6 is 125 HP @ 9.14:1 compression. Now i have the Y7 block with Z6 head with a compression ratio of 9.62:1. I also have a Cold-Air Intake; i also removed all AC components in the engine bay including; Charcoal Canister, All AC Lines, AC Wiring, Condenser, Compressor + Bracket. So now less rotating resistance on crank. I also have a 7.5lb Flywheel. Anybody have a ballpark range for HP ? This is just for my curiosity. THANKS! BTW-Looking for estimated flywheel HP

 

probably around 125 WHP

 

thank you for the constructive criticisms...i now remember that it is stickers that add useable horsepower, how silly of me. thank you trustdestruction

 

i wasn't criticizing you, i was serious.
The stock 125 number is BHP, horsepower at the crank. Stock horsepower to the wheels is lower. Your WHP now is probably around 125.

 

okay both of you are being angry elves. =] and not reading... he asked for hp at the flywheel. so hes getting approximately 150 to the flywheel going off of your estimated whp num.

now smile shake hands and get along =]

 

damn i can't read
lol


sorry OP, uh i'd guess probably 140hp at the crank

 

lol sorry trustdestruction....i think i can bear with 140 , just curious, what is BHP ?

 

same as at the flywheel its just how the brits say it because theyre retarded i believe

 

BHP is horsepower at the crank (brake horsepower). The brake part is actually kind of outdated which is why it doesn't really make sense at first, but they still call it BHP to show the difference between WHP and BHP.
"Brake horsepower (abbreviated 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 pump, muffled exhaust system, etc. "Brake" refers to how horsepower was originally measured and calculated, by means of a De Prony brake connected to the engine's output shaft. More recently, an engine dynamometer is used instead of a De Prony brake. The output delivered to the driving wheels is less than that obtainable at the engine's crankshaft." - Wikipedia

 

well thank you for the excellent definition and explanation
