2 Answers
Changchai 4L88 engine is 88 horsepower. The following is an introduction to the Changchai 4L88: 4L88 Series: The Changchai 4L88 diesel engine is an upgraded model based on the 4L68 with added turbocharging, so its base power is 50KW/3200 rpm, equivalent to 68 horsepower. The power of the Changchai 4L88 is 65KW/3200 rpm, equivalent to 88 horsepower. This model is designed for vehicle use. There is also a specialized version of the Changchai 4L88 for harvesters, with a power of 48KW/2400 rpm. Related Technology: This diesel engine can also be equipped with intercooling technology and upgraded to the 4L98 model, increasing the power to 72KW/3200 rpm.
I specialize in agricultural machinery maintenance and have disassembled many Changchai 4L88 engines. This four-cylinder diesel engine has a base model output of around 55 horsepower, but the exact power depends on the suffix designation. For example, the 4L88-110 model has a net power of 40 kW (approximately 55 hp), the 4L88-120 model about 42 kW (57 hp), and the high-pressure turbo version can reach 46 kW (62 hp). Actual horsepower can be affected by altitude, fuel quality, and maintenance conditions. A machine operated by someone in Northeast China at -20°C might lose 3-4 hp. It pairs well with small four-wheel tractors for hauling two tons of cargo with ease, but it's recommended to check the injector pressure every 500 hours.
