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 and tuning. 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 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 tobetween 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 in motorcycles.
The Briggs & Stratton 158cc engine typically produces around 5.5 to 6.5 horsepower, depending on the specific model and application. This engine is commonly used in lawn mowers and other outdoor power equipment. For precise horsepower ratings, it's best to refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the particular model in question.
I'm looking to purchase a new lawnmower. It says it's 158cc. About how much horsepower is this?
horsepower is engine power. cubic centimetres is engine displacement. (sometimes proportional but) they are not directly related.
There is no direct relationship between the cylinder capacity of an engine and the horsepower that it can generate. It depends on the engine design, the fuel amongst other factors.
An engines cubic capacity cannot be converted, mathematically, to horsepower without a host of other information..
To convert cubic centimeters (cc) to horsepower, a general rule of thumb is that 1 horsepower is approximately equivalent to 15 cc in a gasoline engine. Therefore, to estimate the horsepower for a 342cc engine, you can divide 342 by 15, resulting in about 22.8 horsepower. Keep in mind that this is a rough estimate, as actual horsepower can vary based on engine design and efficiency.
"Robert Fogt" The amount of horsepower output by an engine depends on more than just the engine size. For example, a tricked out 4.7 liter engine will have more horsepower than an old stock 4.7 liter engine. You wont be able to convert directly between them. For new cars you may be able to find data sheets that lists both engine size and horsepower. Otherwise you would have to take it to a shop to be placed on a machine to measure it.
To convert cubic centimeters (CC) to horsepower, a rough estimate is that 1 horsepower is approximately equivalent to 15 CC for small engines. Therefore, a 163 CC engine would be around 10.9 horsepower. However, this can vary based on engine design and efficiency. Always refer to specific engine specifications for accurate horsepower ratings.
To convert engine displacement from liters to horsepower, you can't use a direct conversion, as horsepower is a measure of power output, while liters measure engine size. However, a rough estimate is that a typical gasoline engine produces about 30 to 40 horsepower per liter. Therefore, a 3.5-liter engine might produce approximately 105 to 140 horsepower, depending on various factors like engine design, fuel type, and tuning.
To convert cubic centimeters (cc) to horsepower, a rough estimate is that 1 horsepower is approximately equal to 15 cc in a small engine. Therefore, a 29cc engine would be around 1.93 horsepower. However, this can vary depending on the engine's design and efficiency. Always consult specific engine specifications for accurate power ratings.
It is not possible to directly convert engine displacement (measured in cc) to horsepower. Horsepower is influenced by various factors such as engine efficiency, fuel type, and design. Generally, a 1100 cc engine might produce anywhere from 50 to 150 horsepower, depending on these factors.
To convert cubic centimeters (cc) to horsepower, a rough estimate is that 1 horsepower is equivalent to about 15 cc for a gasoline engine. Using this conversion, 169 cc would be approximately 11.3 horsepower. However, this is a general approximation, as actual horsepower can vary based on engine design and efficiency.
