Hi

I know its a dumb question,but I have just collect my luvely new "TARDIS".I got the 150psi engine,what is PSI compared to HP.

[seatkid]

PSI is pounds per square inch and cannot be compared directly to HP which is a popular brand of sauce. :huh:

[purplemadboy]

ok smart ass

I ment PS to HP

[Guest vr6galaxy]

PS means post script and HP is still a sauce :huh:

[seatkid]

:huh:

 

1PS = 0.986HP = 735.5W = 75kgM/sec = 542.476ft lbs/sec

 

Alles Gut?

PS is a sort of German metric horse-power, against HP or BHP which is good old imperial horsepower.

 

Why do we have metric horsepower ? I don't know; do metric horses have 10 legs ? :rolleyes:

[seatkid]

and Americans measure theirs in SAE - stamped addressed envelopes! :rolleyes:

The French think PS stands for 'puisance specifique'.

The is a good definition of PS here:-

PS

Except the formula quoted

1 PS = 75 kp

...and how many of us use our cars to draw coal up from a pit ?

I got the 150psi engine

Sorry to bring this discussion back to cars from pedants, but I'm waiting for delivery of a 150PS Galaxy Ghia to replace my 130PS Audi A4 (ie same engine, but a different amount of puff).

 

What is your first impression of the engine? Go on, tell me, please, please, please :lol:
