Stock KV6 177 BHP @ flywheel
Stock KV6 144 BHP @ wheels
Equates to a 18.5% drive train loss = 33 BHP@flywheel
You have to remember the power loss is 33 BHP as stock,
When you increase the power the drive train loss has already been calculated and will not change because you make more power, why would your drive train make more losses beause the engine is making more power, what changed in the gearbox?
If you make 200 BHP@wheels you do not calculate 18.5% drive train losses, you add the factory 33 BHP it lost.
Do not make the mistake of adding the 18% power loss to your new figure.
To jump from 144@wheels to 200@wheels (56 WHP) is some good gains for a NASP build,
