The formula that works best only applies to the small newer normally aspirated (carbureted) 4 cycle engines. The ratios change slightly worse with altitude and slightly better with fuel injection. Most American mowers and the newer 4 cycle outboard motors fit into one of these two formulas: Typical new carbureted engine well tuned: 1 x HP per each 25 cc Fuel injected: 1 x HP per each 22 cc Notes: -Most enginesare tuned down to a lower HP for better engine life. -It is common for the same cc engine to be built in 3different HP versions with the highest rated being the maximized HP per cc version. That is how you see price and HP changes on the same cc engine made by the same company. -Some of the newest (2008 and newer) engines from Japan perform slightly better (10-20%). A typical 150cc motor should equate to between 3.5 - 6 HP+ depending on tuning with 5 HP being the adv.
A Typical 1200cc Motor should produce between 50 - 75 HP depending on tuning. Max/High Performance engines for motorcycles and racing do not fit these formuls and can vary up to double and more. These are standard use numbers. The actual formula plots as a curve and is not a fixed linear formula.
HP does not directly relate to cc
A convert cc has 350 horsepower
cm3 (cubic centimeters) and hp (horsepower) are not compatible.
You need to know the cubic inch not hp to convert to cc.
its not an exact science because cc's don't convert directly to hp but its probally rated around a 7
¾ hp
CC is NOT correlated to Horsepower. Cc is merely the capacity of that engine, NO relationship to horsepower.
5.5 hp
There is absolutely NO relationship between HP and cc. Cc is simply the 'swept volume' of the engine. Horsepower has NOTHING to do with cc.
Horsepower does not convert to cc: ci or cubic inches does. Horsepower is a measurement of work, cc and ci are measurements of volume
If you mean HP=Horsepower, and CC= Cubic centimeters then HP does have anything to do with CC's. Cc's are the size of the displacement of the engine. HP is the amount of power the engine produces.
You can't. 123 cc is a volume, horse power is power. If you know the output of a 123 cc engine, either (i) you already know its horsepower, or (ii) you convert kilowatts to horsepower by hp = kw/0.746.
