Celica Forums General Discussion General BHP

I'm new, so hi!

I have some newbie questions: Does BHP stand for Brake Horse Power? Is that the same as wheel horsepower?

How close is the actualy dyno wheel horsepower of a typical stock celica to the rated one? (GT/GTS)

Brake Horse Power ... ?

the rated one (180hp) is to the crank. to the wheels anywhere from mid 150 - mid 160 (I had 154, lower end of the scale) bhp is brake hp.

I take it BHP is no longer a commonly used term. I have seen it used several places.

It's not commonly used in the US. I know that they use it in the UK, they always says brake horse power on Top Gear.

leave it to the us to make up whatever we feel is right

Everybody uses Braked Horse Power. I've only heard WHP being used on this board. I think the US are a fair bit behind on the evolution scale.

HA HA! Only the yanks could take a Celica and lose 12bhp from the time it gets from the factory to the showroom.

you STFU... go back you your hole.

EXCUSE ME?

I wonder how much you'd like to say that to me if you came out from behind your computer?? See how fast I crack your fucking face open.

I wanna see you try to take Josh

Who the fuck do you think you are. Are you stupid. We may not be caught up alot, but we can diffinently whoop the UK's ass.

I still can't believe that he thinks WHP is inferior.

think about it there rev, WHP is a lower number, BHP is a higher number, 94.9% (the other 5.1 being golf and race times) the higher number is far superior to a low one.

Let the flamage begin


By US, you do mean the Caucasian population, right?
You cant compare the U.K. with the U.S. And it seems that the white people from the U.K. still have some evolving to do. booyah mutherfucker.

it seems he just likes to stir things up around here guys - why let yourselves be suckered in?

US > UK in EVERY WAY If the US didnt step in your stupid ass would be german so you should be thanking us really

^^^ Yup.

...and as far as technological eveolution is concerned I say to you Veil... F117 Stealth Fighter, B-2 Stealth Bomber, USS Ronald Reagan, Two rovers on Mars (Spirit and Opprotunity), M1-A1 Abrahms, Commanche Helicopter, Apahce AH64, and the pimpest motherF$%Ker on the planet the SR-71 Blackbird...all that technology trickles down to consumers...now where are the Euros...hmmm the world should be so lucky that the US was not a trannical regime after WWII...otherwise you Euros would be saying "ya'll" or "you's guys"...and measuring your peckers in American Inches..you wonder why Euro's use the centimeter 1In = 2.54cm ...hell it makes them feel more secure in their pride just FYI I love to rag on pompus european people...like some of my Irish relatives they love that shit...

M1 A2 > A1

actually whats funny is we cant even sell our pos M1 IP's cause they are more technologically advanced then anything the rest of the world has. lol I imagine when the national gaurd cant even use them any more they will be like the 60's and end up on the live fir ranges

I was kinda amazed that a 1970's RPG can easily take out an M1 tank. The accupants usually live, but the tank is done for. I thought they were more armoured than that. Apparently not.
