Power in Japan is measured in PS.
1.0 Japanese PS = 0.98632 BHP I have seen a number of ST205s stock make more than that on respected dynos. It's entirely possible that they underrated the ST205 to preserve supra sales (Supra TT conformed to the Japanese 280PS limit, but had a lot more than that in reality). -------------------- JDM ST205
Blitz Spec NUR Exhaust, somewhere over $1000 Needing another one 18000 miles later, bloody annoying. |

It's entirely possible that they underrated the ST205 to preserve supra sales (Supra TT conformed to the Japanese 280PS limit, but had a lot more than that in reality). [right][snapback]314302[/snapback][/right] The Supra pushes about 330 PS (because of the 15% +/- limit). So, you register the car as a 280 PS car, and add 15%. What do you get? 330 PS. This car is then legal even if it got about 50 PS more than the papers say. The 15% thingy was made because no engine is completely alike. So that car manufacturers could make their cars and register them all (same model, type, trim, year) using the same data. So a car sold as 100 bhp could actually have 85-115 bhp, and still be the "same" car. On the paper atleast. This system is used in Norway, and I'm sure they have something identical in other countries as well.. Just take the Supra as a good example. I don't think it's a coincidence that the (on paper) 280 PS Supra have 330 PS And to answer the thread, I'm pretty sure the cars have the same specs, Euro(UK) or JDM.. (of course you still have those 15% + or -, but the car is legal for insurrance and registration purposes anyway. My 5 cents goes towards this one by Mr.E: QUOTE JDM Cars are rated at 255PS. So, about 245bhp. EDIT: Mr.E's calculations were kinda wrong.. 255 * 0,98632 = 251 bhp, but just tell them it's 245, or 240.. Or get your car on a bench somewhere and "produce" a result of 245 bhp  EDIT2: And the result of 251 bhp seems to be correct according to the Information section on JDM engines on this forum: CODE Engine: 3S-GTE Cylinders: 4 Displacement: 2.0 liters Type: DOHC Horsepower: 251@6000 RPM Torque:(lbs.-ft.) 225@4000 RPM Forced Induction: Turbo This post has been edited by Illyont: Jul 20, 2005 - 5:17 AM --------------------  |
