Very basically without worring if its auto or manual, take a 30% loss for the drivetrain and thats the RWKW vs KW

100kw at the flywheel = 70rwkw

so 100 x .7 = 70 and 70 / .7 = 100

30% auto - 25% manual but depends how pedantic you want to be, put it on a dyno instead of guessing.

Its not an exact science... i prefer to think of it as an absolute HP figure... but the measures described above will get you into the ball park.

Yeah, it's all just approximations:

rwkw / 0.7457 = rwhp

and

rwhp = fwkw

Therefor:

70rwkw / 0.7457 = 94hp

94rwhp = 94fwkw
