Niall asked: > Is that the same as DIN PS? I thought SAE HP was without ancillaries and DIN > PS was with, or have I got that backwards?
Both standards are very similar see: www.jaguar.co.uk/uk/en/_glossary/din.htm If a manufacturer quotes DIN or SAE then the engine should have been tested to those standards (which is the sensible way to do it as it represents a real life situation including ancilliaries). DIN Deutsches Institut fur Normung is used in Europe generally and SAE Society of Automotive Engineers is more common in the States, although manufacturers can tend to use the different figures (standards) depending which market they are selling into. See also http://www.land-and-sea.com/dyno-tech-talk/corrected- horsepower.htm for more detailed reading on engine power and corrections for temperature and atmospheric pressure, and http://www.sae.org/certifiedpower/ for a further insight into SAE standards and testing.
