That's true for most FWD front engine 4 cyl cars.
Doesn't hold true for RWD Rear engine cars and such like the NSX.
Umm..
BHP stands for "Brake Horse Power" - same as "Wheel Horse Power" - both measured on Dynos. Neither has to do with the crank.
Regular "HP" ("Horse Power") is at the crank, as the engine would put out on an engine stand, without a gear box, drivetrain, chassis, etc.

I'm sorry you thought that way - look it up if you don't believe me.

Is it that low? I thought it was closer to 20% - 25% in a civic.
