according to this site http://www.americanmachinist.com/Calculators/HorseToKilo.aspx

270 kw = 362.0763 hp

KW x 1.341022 = HP
HP x 0.7457 = KW

[TUFGN3]

362hp in the old numbers mate (361.93 to be exact)

great to see your son taking interest in his dads toys, teaching him well :goodjob:

362 HP mate! The conversion is as follows:

1 HP = .745 KW

1 KW = 1.341 HP

E.g. 270 KW x 1.341 = 362 HP

For a rough, quick calc you can do in your head;
Add 1/3 to the KW number to get the HP (270 + 90 = 360).
Or take 3/4 of the HP number to get KW (3/4 of 360 = 270).

Exactly right! :yup: Simply adding one third of the kw figure to get horsepower is only a bee's dick off the true figure!

That would make a bees dick exactly .07 hp in this case.:)

Always wondered how big one was. :eyes:
