PS - BHP converter

I know there's an online one but I can't find it and the ones Google
throws up don't give the results I was expecting.

Last year someone pointed out that 98 PS was about 130BHP so why then
when I put 138PS into an online form it comes back with 136BHP, some
sort of reversed physics?

If anyone could point me in the right direction or give us a formula
that works?...

 

I think you're thinking of the conversion of KW -> BHP. PS -
Pferdstaerke - just means horsepower, so it should be the same as BHP.

Because whoever told you that was wrong (or you've mis-remembered) - PS
& BHP are virtually the same.

 

That would be 98kw not 98ps.

Here's the first conversion table that comes up on a web search:

its on google http://www.pumaracing.co.uk/power1.htm
BHP = PS x 1.01387

 

Thanks, all.

I got my Kw and PS mixed up

 

You may find this little (free) program useful; I do.
