How much horsepower does the 485 engine have?
2 Answers
The horsepower of the 485 engine is approximately 45 hp. Horsepower can be converted into power, which is an important performance parameter of an engine. It indicates how much work an object can perform per unit of time. The greater the power, the more work can be done per unit of time. An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy. Its components include: two crank-link mechanisms and a valve train. The engine consists of: 1. Fuel supply system; 2. Cooling system; 3. Lubrication system; 4. Ignition and starting system. It converts linear motion into rotational motion, providing the basic power guarantee for the operation of the car.
I've been repairing vehicles for over a decade, and the 485 diesel engine is an old acquaintance in light trucks and agricultural vehicles. The standard version barely exceeds 50 horsepower, just enough to haul two or three tons of cargo. If you flash the ECU or replace the turbocharger, you might squeeze out around 65 horsepower. But I must warn you, such modifications on old engines can easily lead to cylinder explosions, especially during long-distance trips or hill climbs when the water temperature spikes rapidly. Last time, an owner stubbornly insisted on modifying it, and the piston rings ended up melting—the repair cost more than a brand-new engine.
