Engine Displacement Calculator
Calculate engine displacement in cc, cubic inches, and liters from bore, stroke, and number of cylinders.
Engine Displacement
Engine displacement is the total volume swept by all pistons in one complete engine cycle.
Displacement = π/4 × Bore² × Stroke × Number of Cylinders
Conversions:
- 1 liter = 1,000 cc = 61.024 cubic inches
- 1 cubic inch = 16.387 cc
Common engine configurations:
- Inline-4: Economy cars (1.5-2.5L)
- V6: Mid-size cars (2.5-3.5L)
- V8: Trucks, muscle cars (4.0-7.0L)
- Flat-4 (Boxer): Subaru, Porsche (2.0-2.5L)
- Inline-6: BMW, Toyota Supra (3.0L)
Examples:
- Honda Civic: 2.0L / 122 ci / 1,996 cc
- Ford 5.0 Coyote: 5.0L / 302 ci / 4,951 cc
- Chevy LS3: 6.2L / 376 ci / 6,162 cc
