Converting kW to bhp
1 bhp is equal to 0.746 kW
1 kW is equal to 1.34 bhp.
So to convert a figure in bhp to kW you multiply by 0.746

e.g.. 150 bhp = (150 * 0.746) = 111.9 kW.

And to convert kW to bhp you multiply by 1.34

e.g.. 130 kW = (130 * 1.34) = 174.2 bhp.

might be useful for some of you.

But if your math challenged (like me :s1 ) you can download Master Convertor and "quickly and easily convert most units of measurement". Click HERE It's only about 1.6mb. (It's shareware)

kw to hp you times by 1.34
hp to kw you divide by 1.34

very simple

Nm to ft/lbs you divide by 1.39
ft/lbs to Nm you times by 1.39

cc to cubic inch you divide by 2.54 (cubed) - or divide by 2.54 three times

cubic inch to cc you times by 2.54 (cubed)

so 350 x 2.54 x 2.54 x 2.54 = somewhere around 5700
