Default To the wheels...

So I know the S2k makes 240 hsp / 153 tq. But what does it make to the wheels? TQ and HP. And whats the difference between BHP and WHP or are they the same?

Wheel HP is what is produced at the wheels. For all intents and purposes, your average S2000 is at about 200HP. Each subsequent year tends to make a little more, though. 00-01 usually 195, 02-03 usually 200-205, 04-05 usually 205+.

BHP is british HP. It is a little different than SAE HP, but not by a heck of a lot. The two are usually interchanged, although it is not technically correct.

I always thought the BHP was "brake" horsepower.

I have never heard it referred to as British HP.

so in other words BHP is engine horsepower, and WHP is power to the wheels. lol.

as for what the S2000 "should" make, the ap1 makes about 195-205 on average. the ap2 makes about 200-210 on average. this is on a dynojet.
