Engine power is the power that an engine can put out. It can be expressed in power units, most commonly kilowatt, pferdestärke (metric horsepower), or horsepower.In terms of internal combustion engines, the engine power usually describes the rated power, which is a power output that the engine can maintain over a long period of time according to a certain testing method, for example ISO 1585.
A typical turbocharged V8 diesel engine might have an engine power of 250 kW (340 hp) and a mass of 380 kg (840 lb), [1] giving it a power-to-weight ratio of 0.65 kW/kg (0.40 hp/lb). Examples of high power-to-weight ratios can often be found in turbines.
From 1990 to 1992 the 3.1 L (3,128 cc) LG6 V6 engine with 122 hp (91 kW) and 224 N⋅m (165 lb⋅ft) was used in the Isuzu Rodeo until replaced with the Isuzu-built 3.2L 6VD1 engine. 2002–2009 SUV use the General Motors-built Atlas 4200 Engine with 275 hp (205 kW) and 275 ft·lbf (373 N·m) of torque.
It produced 385 hp (287 kW) in 1967–68 full-size cars, 390 hp (291 kW) in 1969 full-size cars and Corvettes (by exhaust system). [ 37 ] L-68: produced 1967–69, 10.25:1 compression, Tri-Power , nodular iron crankshaft, hydraulic lifters, aluminum oval port closed chamber heads, and two-bolt main caps.
The GM L3B engine is a turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine designed by General Motors. It is an undersquare aluminum DOHC inline-four displacing 2.7 liters (165 cid) and tuned for strong low-end torque.
In 1964, horsepower increased to 366 hp (273 kW) for the newly named L-76 version, and 375 hp (280 kW) for the fuel injected L-84, making the L-84 the most powerful naturally aspirated, single-cam, production small-block V8 until the appearance of the 385 hp (287 kW), 395 lb⋅ft (536 N⋅m) Generation III LS6 in 2001. This block is one of ...
The Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt produced a maximum of 3.5 hp (2.6 kW) 0.89 seconds into his 9.58 second 100-metre (109.4 yd) sprint world record in 2009. [14] [failed verification] In 2023 a group of engineers modified a dynamometer to be able to measure how much power a horse can produce. This horse was measured to 5.7 hp (4.3 kW). [15]
The 715 shp TPE331-6 used in the Beech King Air B100 have a 400-hr. fuel nozzle cleaning interval, 1,800-hr. hot section inspection interval and a 5,400-hr. time between overhaul; approval is possible for 3,000-hr. HSIs and 6,000-hr. overhauls and engine reserves are cheaper than for the PT6A.
