If for nothing else, it gets you in the ballpark. The middle number (16) may have to be increased or decreased based on the size of the engine to get a more accurate estimate. 340 divided by 16 = 21.25 divided by 2 = 10.625 which again is very close to the 10.5 HP rating Honda has rated this engine at in HP. 270 divided by 16 = 16.875 divided by 2 = 8.4375 which is close to the 8.5 HP rating that this engine has historically been rated at in HP.Īnother example: A Honda 11 HP engine has a displacement of 340 cc's. For example: A Honda 9 HP engine has a displacement of 270 cc's. I've tested it out and it seems to be pretty accurate. Anyway I played around with it a bit and came up with this - it provides a fairly accurate cc to hp conversion without a lot of headaches:Ĭc displacement (cubic centimeter size of engine) divided by 16 divided by 2 What I noticed is that they seemed to double the HP rating. I was looking on-line for some sort of conversion tool and came across several formulas that did not make sense to me. They seemed to place the hp ratings much higher for a given cc displacement if you followed the prescribed formula.
