It differs for every motor, and every manufacturer.

ccs are a measure of the combined volume of the combustion chambers in an engine, just like cubic inches or liters are--not a measure of how much horsepower is being derived from the engine
100ccs equal one-tenth of a liter or a little over 6 cubic inches
Horsepower output from a given engine size can vary wildly according to the engine's design and how many tricks have been done to improve horsepower output. For example, a 2 liter (or 2000 cc) engine with two valves per cylinder, and stock parts might yield 140-160 horsepower. Throw in a free-flow exhaust, two extra valves per cylinder to help it breath more easily and the horsepower output may go up to 180 or so. Bolt on a turborcharger and an intercooler, a high lift short duration cam and add in some roller bearings so that it can wind up a bit higher and whoosh, 250 to 280 horse are possible from the same sized engine, maybe more.

cc is the size of the engine. Horsepower is the power it puts out. Some companies can make a 1 Litter engine have 180 hpr (yamaha bike) Ford mustang v6 3.8L has 190.. it just depends on the brains of the car, the exhaust, and just mods.

It varies greatly by efficiency of the engine, but you can get 1 hp out of 15 to 17 cc's. See below link for more discussion.

Depends on the parts and components used to create the horsepower..

I know that a 5 litre or 5000cc engine is equal to a 305 cubic inch engine. there is no defining factor because it depends on how much the engine is suped up. try dividing the cc by the hp on whatever engine your thinking about...

If a car is built with maximum capacity in mind, usually 13 to 18 for every hp. Eg, Dodge Viper SRT10. (8300cc - 510hp).
If a car is built for minimizing weight and increasing efficiency, as little as 9cc per hp is possible. Eg. 1993 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo (3000cc - 300hp).
Some say that the "no replacement for displacement" maxim is somewhat dated.

The short answer is about 15 to 17cc = 1 hp or about 1 cu.in. = 1 bhp for a modern car.

cc's and horsepower is not constant. It varies from engine to engine.

cc is cubic centimeters, a measure of volume.
Horsepower is a measure of power.
It's like asking how many inches are in a calorie, or how many pounds in a gallon.
