Go learn your physics. Torque is the twisting power of course... HP comes out of an equation in which you put torque and RPM in. It's basically how fast you can apply that torque, or power. Like I said, torque is the power and HP is how fast you can apply it.

WD/t

i do physics moron

work multipied by distance divided by time then divided by the horses amount it has nothing to do with fucking Torque or RPM'S retard OMG

"OK, so what about power? As has been noted by a previous contributor, Power (hp) = Torque (ft-lb) * RPM / 5252. "

What now? You DO know how to read a formula right? All little engines can do is rev like a mofo that's why you get those hp figures.

What you want is torque at high RPM's.

NSX-R-SSJ20K · 03-09-2002, 09:44 PM

Work = mass multiplied by acceleration

KW/H

Work x Distance (traveled)
_____________________

time (hours)

then you take the answer and divided the KW/H for a horse and then you get Horse power don't talk to me about physics you fucking tard

Who's the fucking moron?

a formula one engine puts out 800hp its revs upto 17000 rpm it goes like shit off a shovel because of the high rpms the fucking engine may not have Torque its spins alot faster

Dude you're not talking about work... you need to go back to school. Work is NOT mass multiplied by acceleration. Work is force times distance... force is mass times acceleration. Get your facts straight.

Torque is the work... hp is how fast you can use that work.

Dude last time I checked Honda doesn't put their Formula 1 engine in the civic. Please let me know when they do though as I would like to get my hands one one of those.

This is real easy.

No replacement for displacement.
HP sells cars, torque wins races.

If any of you "import" guys ever drove a built v8 car, you'd sell that slow shit and join the big boys real fast.

lol alex is right, im taking physics class, ur right alex he is a fucking moron, probably took integrated science witht hte other tards and prolly dropped out of high school

you rice people are soo funny!

unit of power in the English system of units. It is equal to 33,000 foot-pounds per minute or 550 foot-pounds per second or approximately 746 watts. The term horsepower originated with James Watt, who determined by experiment that a horse could do 33,000 foot-pounds of work a minute in drawing coal from a coal pit

i just did an oral report on James Watt last week, maybe that helps?

AlexB · 03-10-2002, 09:47 AM

Yep yep and "foot-pounds" is a measure of torque.

Torque is the work... hp is how fast you can use that work.

mass is measured in Newtons fucking force is aswell so it can be substitued

F=MA W=FD ok fine

P=W/t

and then you do the horse bit but horse power still has nothing to do with torque and rpms

NSX-R-SSJ20K · 03-10-2002, 12:15 PM

fuck i checked myself FUCK

hp is still related to W/T tho
