BHP loss from flywheel to the wheels?
Has anyone any ideas what the BHP losses are from the flywheel to the wheels on the FD?

15% for a manual. However, HP numbers will vary as much as 10-12% based on the kind of dyno. So any hp number should be taken with a grain of salt.

Stock well-running FD's make around 220-230 to the ground - I just base from that. In general, you really can't compute flywheel horsepower unless you pull the engine and run it on an engine dyno.

I think most stock FD's are around 215-220 at the wheels. They may have been slightly more when they were new, but they are now 11-13 years old.
