A brief background: CC (or Cubic Centimeter) is a measure of unit displacement where as HP (or Horsepower) is a measure of energy exerted which is also a function of Torqueand RPM (Revolution per minute).

Although the two gets commonly misrepresented, there is not direct conversion from CCto HP. Although a widely accepted estimate ration on engine blocks is 15 - 17 CC = 1 HP.

So a rough answer to your question is (208 cc = )12.33 to 13.87 horsepower

Addition - not to take away:

The formula that is below 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 and tuning. Most American mowers and the newer 4 cycle outboard motors fit into one of these two formulas:

Typical new carbureted small engine:

1 x HP per each 25 cc

Fuel injected:

1 x HP per each 22 cc

Notes:

-Most engines are tuned down to a lower HP for better engine life.

-It is common for the same cc engine to be built in 3 different 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.

A typical 150cc motor should equate to between 3.5 - 6 HP+ depending on tuning with 5 HP being the adv.

The actual formula plots as a curve and is not linear and also does not apply to Max/High Performance engines like motorcycles.

it means that it works on the lower h.p

What is conversion for 140 cc to horsepower?

To convert cubic centimeters (cc) to horsepower, you can use a rough estimate that 1 horsepower is approximately equal to 15 cc for gasoline engines. Therefore, for a 140 cc engine, the conversion would be about 9.3 horsepower (140 cc ÷ 15 cc/hp). Keep in mind that this is a general approximation and actual horsepower can vary based on engine design and efficiency.

What is the conversion for 148 cc to horsepower?

The conversion from cubic centimeters (cc) to horsepower is not straightforward as it depends on various factors such as the specific engine and its efficiency. Horsepower is a unit of power, while cc is a unit of volume. Generally, a rough estimate is that 1 horsepower is equivalent to around 15-17 cc for an average engine. Therefore, 148 cc would roughly equate to about 8-10 horsepower.


208cc equals how much horsepower?

Wrong question. A 208 cc engine (gasoline I suppose) has no fixed horsepower per cc. But experience can help here. It is about 12 horsepower or maybe more depending on the efficiency of the engine.

190 CC equals how many horsepower?

There is no direct conversion between CC (cubic centimeters) and horsepower as horsepower is a measure of power output, while CC is a measure of engine displacement. The horsepower a 190 CC engine can produce varies based on factors such as design, efficiency, and tuning, among others.


What is conversion for 500 cc to horsepower?

To convert cubic centimeters (cc) to horsepower, you can use the general approximation that 1 horsepower is roughly equivalent to 15 cc for gasoline engines. Therefore, to convert 500 cc to horsepower, you would divide 500 by 15, resulting in approximately 33.3 horsepower. Keep in mind that actual horsepower can vary based on engine design and efficiency.


What horsepower is 208 cc?

A 208cc engine would be a 8.32 Horsepower engine. The math goes like this... 1 x HP per each 25 cc for conventional engines. It is slightly lower for fuel injected engines, about 22 cc.
