Default HP or WHP?

I'm planning on doing a B16A into my 90 ED9 and from what friends tell me and looking at specs it comes with 160HP. What I want to know if that's 160 HP at the wheels though?....What I'm looking for are some dyno's with a B16 in a Crx with a couple of upgrades or just even stock....I just want to know what the WHP in a ED9 would be. Thanx in advance

Nope, Honda measures it's HP at the crank (or was it flywheel?). Well anyway it's certainly not to the wheels.

no that's 160 hp at the flywheel, which comes to about 125-138 hp(normal) to the wheels, depending on the motor...
you always lose about 15-20 % due to inertia and "friction"...

Flywheel.

Count off 15% of that power to the drivetrain.
