Litres to Horse Power conversion?
 What is the horse power conversion for a Mazda 2.6L MPV Auto? I need the european conversion, I have been told it is 15? I am registering my USA spec vehicle in France. Cheers |

Re: Litres to Horse Power conversion?
You can't "convert" liters to horsepower. Did you want to convert horsepower to kilowatts?

Yeah, dude. The liter is a metric unit of volume whereas hp is an imperial unit of power.

Re: Litres to Horse Power conversion?
If you have a 1994 Mazda MPV with a 2.6L inline-4 engine, Carpoint (autos.msn.com) says that the peak power output of that engine is 121hp. That would most likely be SAE HP @ flywheel, but I'm not 100% on that. Carpoint also give erroneous values from time to time.

well, you can't convert litres to horsepower
but it is possible if you are trying to covert SAE horsepower to DIN horsepower 1 SAE horsepower (US standard) the ability to lift 33,000lbs one foot in one minute 1 DIN horsepower (European standard, except UK) the ability to life 450,000kg one centimeter in one minute 1 DIN is around 0.98629 SAE |

Re: Litres to Horse Power conversion?
The european standard used today is EEC (European Economic Community). A horsepower doesn't only have diffrent definitions but the test methods are diffrent, this makes the numbers difficult to compare exactly.

Re: Litres to Horse Power conversion?
converting liters to cubic inches can be done by multiplying the liters x 61 ...ex: 6.0 liters x 61 = 366 cubic inches - kinda fun to convert old engine sizes to liters as well - just divide the engine size by 61 - so a 409 (she's real fine) would convert to 6.7 litre or a 427 coverts to 7 litres. 289 mustang 4.7 litres. make sense?

All answers being right, registering to post in a three year old thread is frowned upon.
