Horsepower is a measurement of the engine's ability to perform work. One SAE
horse is the ability to lift 33,000 lbs one foot in one minute. One DIN
horse is the ability to lift 450000 kg one cm in one minute. For the same
power the SAE measurement is thus 98.629% of the metric DIN measurement. As Bradders said, his reading was 46bhp in SAE and when converted to DIN bhp it was 49bhp, and as maths is not my best subject i will leave it to you to work out the DIN bhp from your 53 & 55bhp, if that is they where not converted to DIN.
