Was wondering about the HP ratings used for the 914 engines. Are they GROSS or NET rating. I know most of the American companies changed from Gross to Net around 1972, in the middle of the 914 production. So for comparitive purposes was wondering how the engine was rated?

So my '71 1.7 which is rated at 80 HP would be DIN HP? Okay, did a search on the net and found that DIN and SAE Net HP are basicly the same, so close they can be interchanged. But to nail it down you can divide DIN HP (80 in this case) by 1.0139 to arrive at SAE Net HP (or 78.9 for my 1.7).
Thanks.... tom... |
