CC

[Jordan]

When engines are said to be so many cc (cubic centimeters), exactly which part of the engine is that referring to?

Apparently restarting, and deleting cookies, and some other stuff on my computer helped me out.

Anyways...


You got my reply to your question about CC's in my PM, so, no need to resay what I already said.

Just replying to let you know I got whatever bug it was fixed(for the time being)

Great!  :thumbsup:

Wanna know what's even greater than that...?


Being a moderator!


Man, it's already been a couple hours(I think) and I haven't used my awesome powers yet. 😈


Hopefully I won't have to, but...ya never know...

 

[Jordan]

Yeah, we've got so many great people here, I very rarely need to use my administrative powers, either.

Jordan, I think the cc is displacement??
I could be wrong or just misread the thread.  

 

[BMW///M3]

Yes its the overall displacment of the engine, and also make up liters. ex. 6000cc = 6.0 : 2300cc= 2.3

 

[Puffy]

displacement...i think

Where the heck did you find this thread Puffy?

It's 1 year anniversary was just last week!

CC is the cubic centimeters of the inside of the engine I believe. It translates directly into litres, like Miata is 1839ccs, which is a 1.8L.

Basicly, just round up or down using the last 2 numbers, and put a decimal between the remaining numbers(the first 2 numbers).

There you go, strait out of the brain of a half woken up kid.

 

[MazKid]

god damn it Puffy, I thought this was a new thread.

Why do people do this?!

 

[LoudMusic]

Ha ha ha, I used to go through the forums starting on the very last page and reply to as many threads as I could. Sometimes it's nice to revive the old stuff.

So it's the displacement of the entire engine, not just the combustion chambers?

cc referes to the displacement of the size of the valves collectively and the combustion chamber, I think. or just the valves.

 

[Duke]

OK, here's what engine displacement measures:

Bore X Stroke of the cylinders.

Bore = diameter of the piston
Stroke = distance the piston moves up and down.

Displacement is the volume of air displaced by the motion of the piston, and does not include the volume of the combustion chamber in the head. It's measured in cubic inches in older cars and liters or cubic centimeters in newer cars.

1 liter = 1000 cubic centimeters
1 cubic inch = 16.387 cubic centimeters
1 liter = 61.02 cubic inches.

Hope this helps clear up the confusion. I guess it is worthwhile to dredge these things up out of the basement once in a while.

 

[LoudMusic]

I guess that's what I meant. When the chamber is fully expanded.

And when you think about that in piston engines and in rotary engines, the volume of the engine really isn't comparable. Perhaps I should stop using HP/L when I discuss the rotary engine. It seems less relevant now.

[MazKid]

Well, in a rotary, like the 13B, you have 3 spaces in each rotor chamber...it's really 1 big space, divided by the rotor.

But does it really matter? No, the rotary engine produces more power for it's size then any other engine, and that's all I care about...

 

[Dudebusta]

yep rotaries rock but...www.thewrongmotor.com check that out mazkid

 

[MazKid]

That site sucks...who would swap out a 1 of a kind engine with plenty of power for a LS1?
