Can I call BS on the 85 WKW. That means the car pushes 110 - 120 EKW from a Full Stainless TNT System and Induction Kit.
*cough BS *cough

Ye maybe its kW at the fly after the exhaust, standard these cars produce 75 kW at the fly, so we will give him the benefit of the doubt on the 10 kW gain from the exhaust system.
And this isn't even taking into consideration of the 20% odd loss from altitude.
So we work it out to about 65 kW - 68 kW at the fly. Then drive train loss's and you be lucky getting away with 45 kW on the wheels realistically speaking.

Jip.
I didn't take into account the altitude loss.
Worked on a standard 30% loss based on drive train etc.

Its actually 17% because my 140i pushes 65kw ATF and ATW i get ±55kw ATW.

Also depends on the dyno used. Some are very optimistic.
The Civic pushes 89 FKW and 66 WKW = +- 30%
