Reason01 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Does anyone know the WHP for a 97 Legacy GT? its 165 at the flywheel. How much power is lost in the drivetrain?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlierh2 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 i believe normal AWD drive train loss is 20%-25% but not sure on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxsubaru Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 It really depends on if its a uto or a manule. A stock WRX puts out around 170 WHP and 227 HP at the engine, so its alittle less than 30%. I really dont belive in the percentage if you add, or take way HP. I dont see how you would lose Hp at a linear amount, and i cant see a WRX 5spd with 1000 HP only having 700 WHP. I think your car would have around 110 WHP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reason01 Posted June 1, 2004 Author Share Posted June 1, 2004 It's an auto, I was once told around 33% would be lost. I was just wondering if the is a solid number to go by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setright Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Second gear is locked 100% on a cyclic auto 'box, so there would less loss inthat gear. This is not a simple concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxsubaru Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 I wouldent use percentages to determine how much power you put down. They dont seem that acurate after you add or take away horse power. If a manule AWD WRX is losing almost 30%, and a auto FWD SVX is losing about 30% i bet it would be in the high 30%s. I wouldent belive 33%.
