PS or HP or BHP

[greens]

Hello, which measurement are you using? I`ve tried to find converter for these measurements and got that: Bhp to PS -multiply by 1.0139. That means 276BHP = 279.8PS. In my GT4 (PAL) I have changed in options to BHP and HP and for stock Skyline in new car shop HP is 276 and when I select BHP it`s the same. Slight changes I`ve seen in white specification screen before you buy car. I`ll try today PS measurement. Just wondering which one do you use, because I see that in forum someone says that stock skyline has 330HP but I haven`t seen that. Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R V-spec in used car list I saw and it had 296HP/BHP (no changes). Is there any suggestions whitch measurement means what and is usually used in your game?

Try an oil change on that Skyline you saw.

Also, buy the car and watch the change.

Many of the Gentlemen's Agreement cars (top-end Japanese cars from the major manufacturers) have "276hp" (or "280PS") in the showroom, but a wholly different value in the garage.

"BHP" and "HP" are effectively the same thing. "PS" and "CV" are also effectively the same thing, but slightly different from "BHP" and "HP".

Ok will try oil change to new cars too. But there is a little diference when you see cars HP in your garage and when you look at these cars specs (white screen where is engine type, wight, dimensions and so on) - from these two places for the same car is different HP. Which one I can believe?

An age-old question.

Stick to what it says in your garage.

I use PS (Pferdestärke) and Nm.

CV (cheval-vapeur)

BHP (brake(?) horse power)). What does the "B" mean?

B means Brake. It refers to horsepower measured by running the engine against an engine brake, which is basically a machine which resists the engine's torque and measures how much torque it is using to do this. Power is then calculated from the torque figure and engine speed.

Something like that anyway.

I always go by what's shown in the garage, because it shows "complete" measurements: 276@6,500 rpm with 255.73@3,500 rpm for instance. In some other parts of the game, it'll say "276" but no rpm measurements or torque info. The dealer spec info is usually incorrect.

Oh and I always have bhp & torque selected for power and miles for measurements.

For a good estimate at what a car will actually have, try and find the car (or a similar car) used and add 5% (for the new car) or 10% (for the new car with oil change) of the BHP shown on the specs screen for a rough estimate at how much it will have after purchase.
