1kW=1.34HP so to get HP figures multiply by 1.34. to get kW figure, divide by 1.34

i think PS is fairly close to HP...its like 1.35 or 1.36

and the other way around 1hp = 746Watts (0.746kW)

This is the best free converter program I've seen, it has almost everything you could ever think of:

1hp is pretty much 3/4 of a kw

so 300hp x .75 = 225hp. correct to 1%. if you're as crap at math as i am, using 3/4 makes it easy, and it's more accurate than most dynos. you can pretty mich say that rear wheel hp is approximately kw at the flywheel. It follows that you lose about 25% through the drive train.

I think ps is .76? they use ps cause its a slightly higher number, and looks prettier on paper. I think there's something to do with it being a metric value too, but i'm sure that's not important
