SPECIFIC OUTPUT in layman's term

[miked]

am comparing two engines: Urvan and Starex TCI and they have different measures thus can't easily compare like apple-to-apple .

Output 100ps/3800rpm 84hp/4300rpm
Torque 23kg/2000rpm 178nm/2200rpm

The second column are values for TCI and the last column values are for Urvan.

What do these mean in real world? Maybe it's safe to assume that Starex TCI can run faster (top end speed), has more hauling power and even accelarate faster. If all those are true, by how much (%)? salamat.

i suspect these are usually brake hp not wheel hp, i.e. that's the hp you can get at the crankshaft not on the drive wheels. say a 20% drivetrain loss, bhp x 80% = whp.

much better if you can see the performance curve...you can analyze the characteristic of an engine with the shape of the curve.
say 1 hp = 1.01 ps and 1 Newton = 0.1020 kg force
the resulting table will be:

Starex: 98.6 hp * 3800 rpm, 225 Nm * 2000 rpm
VS
Urvan: 84 hp * 4300, 178 Nm * 2200 rpm

For the meantime let's say power is related to speed while torque is to pulling force
Power: Starex achieves the rated hp at a lower rpm than the Urvan (so it can propel and accelerate itself faster than the urvan)
Torque: Starex achieves a higher torque at a lower rpm again than the Urvan (you can haul more comfortably with the starex than the urvan)

Say they have the same drivetrain gear ratios, the starex requires lesser driver effort (changing gears) and it can go faster at a much lower fuel consumption.

actually, i'm more concerned with the torque curve. i prefer an engine that is easier to handle and has lugging abilities (maybe nasanay lang siguro kasi ako sa mga light trucks, tractors, )para lesser effort in changing gears, etc.....kaya i'm not that "fast and the furious" guy.
