how do u find bhp from whp or whp to bhp
is there a way to convert at the wheel whp to at the flywheel bhp
forexample if u have 150 bhp how can u find out what whp u have wihtout a dyno, is ther like a math formula or does it just depend on how well the car brings power to the wheels 3
and how much bhp does i/h/e add (not to the wheels)

i think i remember reading somewhere that its AROUND 15% loss for manual and 25% loss for auto... dont quote me on that tho 
all i know is that a manual is the way to go for more use of ur available power

It is moslty rule of thumb but I most commonly hear 85% of your bhp is brought to the wheels. With other factors included as well: Transmission(if manual, clutch) and how efficient the engine is(compared to factory condition) and last of all, manufacturer claims. Sometimes high, sometimes low. Skyline r34 is underrated by Nissan at 276bhp I believe. According to some tuner mag I was reading the Skyline r34 stock puts out closer to 315bhp. It is very hard if not impossible to estimate hp accurately without actually dyno testing.

Re: (iam7head)
Brake horsepower is a measure of acutal usable horsepower delivered at the engine crankshaft. Brake Horsepower is not constant: it increases with speed. the name came from prony brake, a device that used to measure bhp LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago.
dont let the name fool you, it have nothing to do with your rotor and caliper
BPH=RxLxW / 5252
R-engine RPM
L-length from the center of the drive shaft to the point where the beam is pressure on the scale(read: prony brake)
w-weight as registered on the scale
did i answer your question?
and don't be ashame to ask question, i bet not much people know the actual meaning of bhp
