Ok has anyone else been getting annoyed at the descriptions of new snowblowers with the size engines in CC's!!!!??? I have no idea what 205cc's or 249cc's etc. are!!!! I have a 7hp blower. How many CC's is that? We definately need an equation chart in here to figure out engine size!!!!! :mad::mad::mad::confused:

Honda ratings:

GX120 119cc 4.0HP = 5.40 ft. pounds
GX160 163cc 5.5HP = 8.00 ft. pounds
GX200 196cc 6.5HP = 9.76 ft. pounds

OHV engines use less displacement to produce the the same HP as L-Heads.

Subaru engines are also suppose to be super efficient and can produce power with even less displacement.

Here was a discussion from last year on another site:

Torque vs HP ratings

Guys,

I did see this one conversion system on another site, it looks like this:

TORQUE VS. HORSEPOWER

TORQUE X ENGINE SPEED = HORSEPOWER
5252

example: 12Ft.Lbs x 3400 rpms=7.7 Horsepower
5252
Remember, you'll have to determine at what rpm range your engine was rated, usually it is 3400 rpm tops.
