How much horsepower does a 1971 Ford Mustang have?
My 1971 Mustang fastback had a 351 cleveland 4 barrel and it was rated at (285 Brake horsepower ) It would depend on which engine you have
What is the friction power of an engine that has 575 brake horsepower and 720 indicated horsepower?
I don't know the answer. I would like you to please tell me
What is the difference between hp and bhp?
Horsepower and Brake horsepower are really the same thing as far as mathematical calculation. The difference is how it is measured. Brake horsepower is usually a measure of an engine's horsepower at the shaft WITHOUT anything attached to the engine that would normally be required like the water pump, alternator, power-steering pump, airconditioner, etc. Brake horsepower is usually a theoretical calculation or a measurement made only in a lab under controlled conditions since an engine cannot run without most of the things that it would be required to remove. In the lab/shop they would conect the engine to the dynomometer and then supply coolent, oil pressure, electricity, etc through external means.
What is meant by brake horse power in cars?
Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engine's horsepower without the loss in power caused by the gearbox, generator, differential, water pump and other auxiliaries. Thus the prefix "brake" refers to where the power is measured: at the engine's output shaft, as on an engine dynamometer. The actual horsepower delivered to the driving wheels is less. An engine would have to be retested to obtain a rating in another system. The term "brake" refers to the use of a band brake to measure torque during the test (which is multiplied by the engine speed in revs/sec and the circumference of the band to give the power).
IN reference to autos What is the difference between brake horse power and barrel horse power?
Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engine's horsepower without the loss in power caused by the gearbox, generator, differential, water pump, and other auxiliary components. Thus the prefix "brake" refers to where the power is measured: at the engine's output shaft, as on an engine dynamometer. The actual horsepower delivered to the driving wheels is less. An engine would have to be retested to obtain a rating in another system. The term "brake" refers to the original use of a band brake to measure torque during the test (which is multiplied by the engine RPM and a scaling constant to give horsepower). Never heard of Barrel H.P.
How much horsepower does a 305 CI on a 1986 Chevrolet Blazer have?
That would be an LE9 engine. Those were rated at 210 horsepower and 250 lbs/ft. of torque at 2000 RPMs.
How do you calculate brake hourse power from wheel horse power?
"they are basically equal"- Previous Answer They are not even close to equal. You can't calculate brake horsepower from wheel horsepower unless you know the exact losses through the drivetrain of the vehicle in question. The actual percent lost through any given drivetrain can vary dramatically. In order to know the losses you would need to measure the % difference between the brake horsepower and the wheel horsepower. Then you would already know the brake horsepower, and any calculations would be unnecessary. FYI- Brake horsepower is a rating of the engine output before the drivetrain/water pump/alternator/other attachments. It will be a higher number than wheel horsepower. It is measured by a brake dynomometer at the crankshaft of an engine. Wheel horsepower is generally 15-20% less (sometimes more than 20% less) than brake horsepower depending on whether the vehicle is FWD or RWD, or manual or automatic transmission. Usually the least losses will be in a FWD, manual transmission, and the most losses will be in a RWD, auto transmission. Auto manufacturers rate their engines in brake horsepower, as it allows them to advertise higher horsepower numbers than what is actually going to the ground.
How much horsepower does a ford f 150 V6 have?
That would depend on which model year , for example the ( 1997 ) Ford F-150 with the 4.2 liter V6 engine is rated at ( 205 horsepower )
How many horsepower did the 426 hemi have?
Depending on the year of the engine, the rated horsepower of the 426c.i. hemi used in cars like the Charger, Challenger, and Barracuda was severely underestimated. This was done deliberately for a couple reasons. The primary reason for the low horsepower rating was designed to clear the government set horsepower restrictions on cars manufactured out of the late sixties and early seventies. There are other theories about this but generally this was the intended purpose. Dodge rated the 426c.i. engine at a mild 350 horsepower In actuality, this same motor brand new and in stock condition would easily break the 400 horsepower barrier, and commonly be considered a 450+ horsepower engine.
How much horsepower 2001 Ford F-150 4.7 l have?
According to my Consumer Guide book : The 4.6 litre V8 engine in a ( 2002 ) Ford F-150 is rated at ( 220 horsepower ) from the factory ( I assume the 2001 would have the same horsepower rating )
What is the horsepower in a CC engine?
It dependsThe horsepower of an engine can be given in either brake horsepower (bhp) or shaft horsepower (shp) - they will not be the same number for the same engine.While a higher volume engine generally corresponds with higher horsepower - all else being equal - it is not the sole factor in determining horsepower:The horsepower depends a great deal on the compression ratio of the engine.The horsepower depends on the fuel the engine is designed for - which is heavily intertwined with the compression ratio of the engine (a diesel engine is usually designed to employ higher compression ratio than gasoline).The horsepower depends on whether it is a 2-stroke or 4 stroke engine (175 cc could be either).Horsepower can be increased by engine tuning, more volatile fuel, supercharging or exhaust turbo boosting.With all that said, a reasonable guess for the most likely 175 cc engine you might be looking at would be between 10 and 12.5 bhp.
