Best Answer

All engine power is based on piston displacment. Other factors enter in, such as compression, aspiration, exhaust gas pressure, but increasing displacement (cc's) determines the power available.

How many horsepower is 240 cc engine?

The cubic centimeter displacement of an engine does not determine its horsepower.


How much horsepower does a 2.3l engine have?

the horsepower of a car depends on the number of cylinders it has. The engine displacement does not affect the horsepower of a car by much.


1cc equals how many horsepower?

"cc" means cubic centimeter which is a unit of volume. There is no correlation between volume (displacement) and horsepower of an engine. With a particular engine you could get a certain amount of horsepower, however adding a turbo/supercharger does not change the displacement of an engine, but it adds horsepower.

How Convert 1 horsepower into cubic centimeters?

horsepower is engine power. cubic centimetres is engine displacement. (sometimes proportional but) they are not directly related.


What does it mean to bore over an engine Does boring over provide for any extra performance?

Boring out the cylinders enables you to put larger diameter pistons in the block. Having a larger diameter cylinder means that the displacement of the engine increases. This increase can provide greater horsepower. Boring out a worn-out engine a few thousandths of an inch can square up the bore of the cylinder and breath new life into a worn out engine by restoring its compression. Good compression will have greater effect on improving the performance than the slight gain in displacement.


What is the horse power for 277cc?

There is no standard relation between horsepower and engine displacement.


How do you convert engine horsepwer to engine liters?

This question really has no answer. Displacement (liters) and horsepower are two completely different types of measurements. Displacement measures how big the engine is, and horsepower measures the power output. A bigger or smaller engine doesnt mean more or less power.


How much is 150cc converted to horse power?

There is no direct conversion from engine displacement to horsepower.


How much horsepower in liters does a formula car have?

Horsepower is not measured in litres. Litres is a measure of engine displacement, not power. Power is roughly proportional to displacement, but also varies with many other factors.


What is the fuel consumption with regard to the range of engine displacement and engine compression ratio?

Greater compression = greater fuel consumption = greater power


How many cc in one horse power?

There is absolutely no direct correlation in horsepower and CC's. CC's is the engine size or displacement, whereas horsepower is the output generated by that engine. Horsepower can vary for a given engine based on altitude, temperature, and engine condition. If any of these variables change, the engine size or displacement remains constant, however, the output (horsepower) can vary significantly. To the person that says his honda engine is a x-horsepower with so many CC's, thus there are xx number of cc's in a horsepower, he is only correct when that particular engine is operating, at ideal standards equal to that of the manufacturer.
