That is probably true. However, engine horsepower seems to be the standard in the automotive world (be it bhp, hp net, hp DIN, etc). Rear wheel hp ususally is only considered when a chassis dyno is b

Ulix An interesting point is that the way that horsepower was calculated changed between 1962, and 1980. The 92-94 h.p. that was claimed for the 1800 B series engine is now widely disputed. The early

As I recall from the '60s in England, BHP was derived at the flywheel, but with (generator) water pump and fan hooked up. Tha magazines of the day (EG Autocar) would sniff at American (SAE) horse pui

But what load on the generator? This would dramatically change the amount of power it took from the engine, which could be (at 50% efficiency): 40 amps * 15 volts * 2 = 1200 watts = 1.6 HP. My guess:

Fellow SOLers Anyone have anything to say about Peter Burgess' book "How to Powertune MGB Four Cylinder Engines"? I have a bastardized 77 B, with a 79 engine, Weber DGV carb & header, Crane ignition,

Recently got it, but have only skimmed it so far. He seems to know a lot about his subject and covers the engine in excellent detail. Interestingly, he considers the various parts of the stock system

<Schnipp> I don't know MGB's, but he must be talking about early cams. B power went from 98hp all the way down to 62.5hp (less than my Sprite, hahaha!) over the years. The cam must have something to

Another interesting point: that early-engine 98 hp is brake hp at the flywheel, presumably with no auxilliaries attached. At the rear wheels it winds up being in the low 60s. And I think he was writi
