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.

Higher torque, lower horsepower
Fule for caprice classic 85?
An '85 Chevy Caprice Classic takes standard unleaded fuel (87 octane) unless if it is a Diesel engine. Higher octane is okay to use, however I am uncertain if it is okay to constantly use a higher octane.
What is the horsepower of the Cadillac CTS Coupe?

Marine variants of that engine have produced over 600 horsepower, although they're typically cruised at substantially higher RPMs.
What kind of engine is in a Chevy hhr?

What does 1.6L engine mean?
It is the volume of fuel the cylinder (and piston) of an engine can take! Generally, higher is more horsepower and lower is better fuel economy
Understand power ratings on snow blowers what does CC vs Torque Vs Horsepower mean?
CC (cubic centimeters) is the measure of volume inside the cylinder when the piston is at bottom dead center. The ratio of the diameter of the cylinder to the stroke of the piston influences the torque and horsepower ratings of an engine. Typically when an engine has a stroke that is larger than the diameter of the cylinder it would generate a higher ratio of torque to horsepower. The shorter stroke engines typically rev higher and develop higher horsepower to torque ratios.
What is the difference with a 350 in a 1973 Nova Engine and a 1970 Nova Engine?
the 70 engine came in a couple of different horsepower ratings and had higher compression ratios than the 73 model 350 and the 350 of 73 only came in one horsepower rating and was smogged down with emission controls.
How many horsepower does a v8 350 engine have?
That varies from 145-370 depending on how it was ordered from the factory. Aftermarket versions can be much higher.
How do you remove the governor on a 1992 Geo Prizm to add a little more horsepower?
You may not want to do that. the governor keeps your engine below a set RPM limit. going above that too far would grenade your engine. It won't give you any more horsepower at normal RPM's, just the ability to rev higher and generate more horsepower at the expense of engine life.
