7M-Brisbane,
Generally I avoid these arguement but I can't this time. What line of reasoning are you basing your 15% on... Its a small car ? Small engine ?? the engine size (ie V8 or 1600) has sweet FA to do with it !
Its called drivetrain loss because thats what causes it. There are alot of theories and calculations out there and I'm not going to add more dribble to the thread. Fact is the ONLY way to know it to have the engine on an engine Dyno and then the same engine on an accurate Chassis dyno. Then you will have an answer. (For that car on those two Dyno's on those two days !)
-Mark-,
There are rules of thumb out there for a reason, these are "Industry standards" if you wanna play with imaginary figures use em they are the best guides out there. As jason has already pointed out tho. The only important figure is what you actually transfer to the road. Anything else is pretty much pointless. The ONLY comparison i know of was for a TA22. Its drive train loss was 35% from Engine Dyno to Chassis Dyno. (199kw - 130kw) And what do you know... Rule of thumb for a RWD is 30 - 35% !!!!!
