HP to CC Converter

Horsepower to CC Converter

This calculator provides conversion of Horsepower to Cubic Centimeters (Hp to cc ) and backwards Cubic Centimeters To Horsepower (cc to Hp). This calculator helps you estimate the horsepower (HP) of an engine based on its displacement, measured in cubic centimeters (CC).

This conversion is useful for understanding an engine’s power output, especially in motorcycles, cars, lawnmowers, and other small vehicles or machinery.

HP to CC Conversion Formula

The Horsepower (HP) to Cubic Centimeters (CC) conversion is not a fixed standard, because HP is a unit of power, while CC is a unit of engine displacement (volume). However, a commonly used approximate formula for general-purpose engines is:

HP to CC Approximate Formula:

CC ≈ HP × 15

HP ≈ CC ÷ 15

-Where HP is the horsepower

-CC is the cubic centimeters

Why It’s Only an Estimate:

For automobile engines, this factor can range from 13 to 17 or more.

Different engines have different efficiencies and designs (e.g., 2-stroke vs. 4-stroke).

15 is an average factor for small gas engines (like motorcycles, scooters, lawnmowers).

What Are HP and CC?

  • HP (Horsepower): Horsepower is a unit of measurement that indicates the power output of an engine. The higher the horsepower, the more power the engine can deliver for tasks like moving a vehicle or powering a machine.
  • CC (Cubic Centimeters): This refers to the engine displacement, or the total volume of all the engine’s cylinders. It’s a measure of the size of the engine, and generally, a higher CC indicates a more powerful engine.

How HP and CC Are Related?

The relationship between engine displacement (CC) and power output (HP) exists but is not always direct. Several factors influence the horsepower produced from a given displacement, including:

  • Engine efficiency: Advanced technology allows modern engines to generate more power with smaller CCs.
  • Forced induction: Turbocharged or supercharged engines can produce higher HP without increasing displacement.
  • RPM (Revolutions Per Minute): Higher RPMs can result in greater power output.
