Basically looking to throw down $1k Canadian (before taxes). Unfortunately, this limits my choices a fair bit ( ).īefore factoring in the $400 in loyalty points I have saved up, I was hoping to spend no more than $1400 (CAD, about $1100USD currently) if possible. The 'kicker' is that I hold about $400 in loyalty points from a local big box store (Canadian Tire), so I'd like to make the purchase there if possible. This wear causes inefficiencies throughout the engine that leads to a loss in horsepower.Greetings! As mentioned in my introduction post, I recently moved to Regina, Saskatchewan, and am in the market for my first snowblower. Over time engines will lose horsepower as the engine’s parts and material wear. While CC and HP are related, they are not the same. CC’s on the other hand, which is short for cubic centimeters, is simply a term to describe the displacement or useable combustion volume of an engine. Horsepower is a measure of power output, most often associated with engines or rotating components. The formula for calculating the horsepower from these values is HP = t*RPM / 5252. The dynamometer will measure both the torque output and the RPM (revolutions per minute) of the engine and then it calculates the horsepower from those values. Horsepower is measure using a tool called a dynamometer.
Increasing an engine horsepower, without changing the design of the engine itself, can be done through small improvements like changing the fuel type or exhaust outlet. If instead, the goal is to save on fuel economy and gas usage, then having larger engine displacement is not ideal.įormula 1 cars are limited to an engine capacity of 1.6 liters which is equal to 1600 cubic centimeters. So, if the goal is to have more power output, then a higher CC is better. The higher the CC (engine displacement), the more power output the engine can produce. Therefore, if you convert the CC of an engine into a power output metric, then you could compare it to an electric motor. However, electric motors do have a power output and so do normal combustion engines. Since CC’s are a measure of the displacement of the combustion volume of a normal combustion engine car, electric cars would not have a CC. 7 Things to Know about CC and HPĮlectric cars do not have CC or an equivalent metric.
Next, we rearrange the equation to solve for CC. The horsepower in the problem is provided as 40 HP. HP = CC/ 15 = 750 / 15 = 50 horsepower.įor this example, we will convert HP to CC.
Next, use the formula above to convert this value to horsepower. For this example, the engine size is found to be 750CC’s. CC to HP Exampleįirst, determine the total engine size in cubic centimeters. The engine displacement is the usable volume an engine has for combustion. The following equation can be used to convert a CC to HP of a typical combustion ending.Ī CC is defined as the size of the volume of an engine displacement in cubic centimeters. Enter the total number of CC’s into the calculator to convert into an equivalent horsepower.
