What is Engine Displacement?
Engine displacement refers to the total volume of all the cylinders in an engine and is a key indicator of engine capacity. It is measured in cubic centimeters (cc) or cubic inches (cu in).
Our engine displacement calculator helps you determine displacement value using the dimensions of the engine's cylinders and pistons.
Engine Displacement Calculator Instructions
To use the Engine Displacement Calculator, enter the bore size in centimeters and the stroke length in centimeters, along with the number of cylinders. Then, click the “Calculate Displacement” button to get your results.
Engine Displacement Formula:
V = N * L * π * D² / 4
where:
- V = Engine displacement
- N = Number of cylinders
- D = Bore diameter
- L = Stroke length
The stroke length (L) is the distance the piston travels within the cylinder. This formula calculates the volume of a single cylinder, and by multiplying it by the number of cylinders, you get the total engine displacement.
FAQ
Higher engine displacement increases torque, which enhances towing capability, especially in trucks and SUVs.
Turbocharged engines can achieve higher power levels with smaller displacement, allowing for better performance and efficiency compared to larger, non-turbo engines.
Larger displacement typically provides more power and torque, leading to improved acceleration and overall performance.
Larger displacement typically allows for more horsepower by increasing the engine's air and fuel capacity, though design and technology also play a role.
Larger displacement engines consume more fuel than smaller ones.
Not always. Larger displacement typically provides more power and torque, but overall performance also depends on factors like engine design and tuning.
Larger displacement engines usually produce higher emissions due to increased fuel consumption, while smaller engines typically emit less.
