from wikipedia.com: Brake horsepower (bhp)
Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of horsepower at maximum engine output, minus power lost from heat, friction, expansion of the engine, etc. This is commonly called net horsepower. Since each measuring system requires different conditions, there can be no correct conversion factor for the systems. An engine would have to be retested to obtain a rating in another system.
hp (SAE)
In the United States the term "bhp" fell into disuse after the American Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) recommended manufacturers use hp (SAE) to indicate the net power of the engine, given that particular car's complete engine installation. It measures engine power at the flywheel, not counting drivetrain losses.
Starting in 1971 automakers began to quote power in terms of SAE net horsepower (as defined by standard J1349). This reflected the rated power of the engine in as-installed trim, with all accessories and standard intake and exhaust systems. By 1972 U.S. carmakers quoted power exclusively in SAE net hp. The change was meant to 'deflate' power ratings to assuage the auto insurance industry and environmental and safety lobbies, as well as to obfuscate the power losses caused by emissions-control equipment.
SAE net ratings, while more accurate than gross ratings, still represent the engine's power at the flywheel. Contrary to some reports, it does not measure power at the drive wheels.
Because SAE gross ratings were applied liberally, at best, there is no precise conversion from gross to net. Comparison of gross and net ratings for unchanged engines show a variance of anywhere from 40 to 150 horsepower. The Chrysler 426 Hemi, for example, in 1971 carried a 425 hp gross rating (often considered to be underrated) and a net rating of 375 hp.

Wheel horsepower is never quoted by the manufacturer. It changes based on accessories fitted, wheel diameter and weight, and other factors. Manufacturers ALWAYS quote bhp, but not always to the same standards. Which goes some way to explaining the local Altis 1.8's ridiculous 140hp rating (it is actually 126).

The Japan domestic market (JDM) is a term used to describe Japan's market for purchasing things, chiefly automobiles. A similar term, United States domestic market (USDM) is used to differentiate US-only products. Some people interpret "M" as model.
JDM cars may or may not share the same names, features, specifications and option parts as their overseas versions, but they technically refer to the same car. Examples of this are the JDM Mazda Axela (known locally as the Mazda3), the JDM Suzuki Escudo (known locally as the Suzuki Vitara) and the JDM Honda Fit (known locally as the Honda Jazz).Last edited by Bogeyman; April 5th, 2006 at 02:32 PM.
