if you want to know h.p go to libary an gey manual, or it could be on the chassis tag in killawatts or p.s 0.75k.w =1 hp so multiply by 0.75. p.s is quite similer to a h.p and is what the japs use insted otherwise you could put your truck on a dyno at a tuneing shop and get the exact h.p (more accurate than factory quoted figures as it accounts for wear, fuel quality and tempiture)

and how much of that power is below 2000 r.p.m . mabey 15 0r 20 i guess

My 15 litre 5 cylinder Gardner in my boat, red lined at 800 rpm is 92 hp,my sons hot 1.6 litre is about 130 hp. If there was some way of having a tug of war, I reckon 92 would beat 130!

imagines boat with towline attached to son's carsmoking up the tyres but slowly being towed backwards to the 3m drop at the end of the wharf

The thing with the small engines producing the same power output but at a higher rpm, if you geared them down proportionally then yes they should have the same pull but actual on road performance will be pitiful.
90hp is 90hp, and is capable of doing the same work. to get the same force at the wheels, the screamer engine needs to be geared down a lot more than the clunker but in the end 90hp is 90hp. If you are happy running the 1.2 fiat engine at redline all day then go ahead and rip the diesel out of the truck and put the 1.2 in, but for those people who prefer an engine which lasts more than 5 minutes, leave the clunker in its rightful home.

Eggzackery - torque is KING!
morrisman1,
Feb 7, 9:51pm
well all that really matters is force at the wheel, doesnt matter how it is achieved, whether it be through a high revving petrol or a chugging diesel, if the two vehicles have the same traction and the same force being applied where the rubber grips the road then the tug of war would go no direction.
Thats looking at the physics and I know in real life torque is king but I must say because the higher revving engines are normally designed for faster packages and not towing

AHH morrisman this is an arguement that has been going around for more years than I can remember. 2 "schools of thought" -1 being that HP is to be measured where rubber meets the road.-at the wheels. The other-usually manufacturers talk HP at the crankshaft output. I've always felt HP is about where rubber meets the road.

Yep, in the end, hp & revs don't really matter too much apart from how much workable effort you can get from the engine VIA the driving wheels. Torque is king in the end .
1 constant I have noticed over the years on an average basis, is this .
Engines designed to rev over 6K & perform best above 4K don't last as long as an engine designed to rev under 5K & perform best under 4K Or simply .
High revving engines don't normally last as long as mid to low revving engines. Rotarys verses piston classic example (all things about how they are used being constant & equal for performance/workload etc etc)

It is, but not engine torque. If you're making the same engine torque as the other engine, just at higher rpm, (hence more power) gearing will increase that torque at lower road speeds.

It is, but not engine torque. If you're making the same engine torque as the other engine, just at higher rpm, (hence more power) gearing will increase the torque at the driving wheels over the level of the motor that produces the same torque but at a lower engine speed.

6.5ltr = enough hp

You can tell there's been a real changing of the guard on this MB - nobody got the Punto reference at all, apart from the man it was aimed at.
And way to bring a dead thread back!

6.5L is it's Displacement. You can't convert that to HP without knowing many more things. The actual model of the engine would be of help, and then we can give you a Ball Park of what they put out on a good day.

Not possible to translate 1st is size The other is performance
More to the point, what brand/year & model of engine is this.

6.5L is 397 cubic inches in case that's what you were asking.

Domestic vehicle = frickin big Small commercial = pretty reasonable Large contractor = reasonable to small Other = Starter motor
