Torque vs Horsepower -- how do you use it?

[weisshorn]

Kaya ba talaga ng 660CC na multicab na hindi piga-piga ang clutch. Ilan ang rated max torque/rpm nito? Hindi ko pa kasi naranasan sa mga gas engine up to 1.6L na swabe bitiwan ang clutch pag 2nd gear from standstill eh, pero sa diesel engine ok lang either old school or crdi version.

Ganoon na nga ang kalalabasan.
Diesel engine mas mataas ang torque kompara sa gasoline counterpart. Mga jeepney driver nga eh 2nd gear kaagad di na dumadaan ng 1st gear pero hindi mo magawa ng smooth sa gasoline engine lalo na kung 1.3L lang.

Jeepneys have huge diesel engines and very short gearing. If you have a big bore gasoline engine and short gears (as on some American pick-ups) you can do the same thing.

kaya ng suzuki f6a engine yan kasi short yung transmission nun to compensate for the small engine.. hindi mo kailangan masyado timplahin yung clutch unlike sa vios na 1.3 medyo kailangan ng timpla kung di mamatay ang makina..

torque is measured in Newton-meter its just like applying force using a lever. force applied times the distance to the receiver

Horsepower is measured in watts. it is the power delivered by the machine just like an electric motor

even if you have high horsepower you will need a leverage to apply that horsepower efficiently
