Its a bit of back yard science....
Generally speaking, for 2 wheel drive cars, I usually loose a third to go from flywheel to at the wheel.
Ie a 100kw at the fly motor is about 65 - 70kw at the wheels.

Well they are 10years old, so normal GPX looking at a little bit under 100kw but it varies dyno to dyno!

As Boris said, it varies a tlot. Even something like tyre pressure will make a difference.
Dyno's calculate power, not exactly measure it.
But a stock FTO looking at around 100kw's ball park.

Standard was measured on an engine test rig somewhere in japan with 100ron fuel too.

yeah it's about 30% loss of power from Flywheel too Wheels. Just work around that.
