What is the difference between brake horsepower and horsepower?
The difference between brake horsepower and horsepower or wheel horsepower, they are the same thing, is that brake horse power is the power produced by the crank. The wheel horsepower is the amount of power delivered to the wheels. Brake horsepower refers to the method used to test the engine. A brake is attached to the engine and used to maintain the engine at a constant RPM at full throttle. The delivered power output is then a simple calculation of RPM times torque. Horse power is based on the average amount of work that a horse could do in a day. It is taken to be 746watts. well you guessed it engine output is also specified in kilowatts so divide by 746 and you have horsepower. As stated above it is all the same thing. There is a difference between advertised horsepower and brake horsepower. Advertised horsepower is what a manufacturer will rate its engine/automobile/machine to produce. Brake horsepower is the actual measured horsepower, for example, of a motor on an engine dynamometer.

What is horsepower in cars?
Horsepower is the energy output of the engine. More horsepower = more energy. This does not, however, mean faster, or better acceleration. Not all of the energy produced by the engine will make it to the wheels. Most is lost in the form of heat. Torque is what will push you back into your seat.
Does wheal weight effect horsepower?
No wheel weights control tire balance and have nothing to do with horsepower. The horsepower your engine produces is entirely produced by the engine. You can get better use of that horsepower by limiting the amount of weight of your vehicle but leave the wheel weights on the wheels or you'll be riding a bucking bronco while your trying to drive.

What does bhp stand for in motoring?
Typically in motor talk, BHP stands for ''Brake Horsepower''. What that means, is that it is a measurement of an engines horsepower on its own, before it loses horsepower through other parts of the vehicle, such as the transmission, drive lines, differential/s, and the wheels. An engine with say 550 BHP, may only truly have 525 HP once the energy has transferred from the engine to the wheels.
