CALCULATING THE DISPLACEMENT OF A TWO CYLINDER ENGINE:

       Displacement can be determined by the formula: D = B X B X S X 1.5708

Where: D = Displacement
  B = Bore
  S = Stroke

CALCULATING COMPRESSION RATIO:

Compression ratio can be determined by the formula:

C = D + Vd + Vs + Vc
      Vd + Vs + Vc

 

Where: C = Compression ratio
  D = Displacement of one cylinder
  Vd = Volume of dish (+) or dome (-) on piston
  Vs = Volume of squish clearance
  Vc = Volume of combustion chamber

To calculate the compression ratio of an engine using Sputhe cylinders the following values may be used.

D = 782cc for the 95.4” kit D = 850cc for the 103.8” kit
Vd = 16cc for dish top pistons Vd = 0cc for the flat top pistons
Vs = 11cc @ .060” clearance  
Vc = 78cc for pre 1990 heads Vc = 87cc for 1990 & up heads

Example: 1989 engine using a 95.4 ci kit with dish top pistons:

C = D+Vd+Vs+Vc= 782cc+16cc+11cc+80cc= 897cc = 8.54
   Vd+Vs+Vc     166cc+11cc+80cc 105cc   1

 

FORMULAS FOR CALCULATING TORQUE & HORSEPOWER:

T = Hp X 5252 Hp = T X rpm
