what is relation between ci/L

[curtis Novak]

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what is the comparison between the
old Cubic Inch engines and the new Liter designations?

thanks

they both refer to the volume of space. in this example the volume of the
cylinders in the engine.
he difference is the measurement system - metric and English units

ci is an abbreviation for cubic inches or inches squared - English units
and L is an abbreviation for liter for the metric units

so for a 5.0L engine that would mean :

5.0 liter *( 1 gallon/ 3.7854 liter) * (231 inches squared/ 1 gallon) =
305.11967 ci

this is approximately a 302 ci engine.....

In article <7gnhmd$i9o$1...@newshost.lanl.gov>,

302ci / 4.9L = 62ci / 1L

There are 62ci to a liter

61 cubic inches per liter.

Need to go on order deeper in precision:

302ci / 4.94L = 61.1ci / 1l

61ci per liter

Why do all that messy 'cipherin' when you can just plug 'n' chug into Dave's
Displacement Calculator at http://dsma.home.mindspring.com/cars/dc.html

More precision than you can shake a stick at!

Here's a site that might be helpful (I can't/won't vouch for it's accuracy),

http://altnews.com.au/hadrian/measures/measures.htm

cu inch/L:
289 x .016387= 4.735843L or about a 4.7L
or take the
4.7L x 61.03=286.841
4.735843L x 61.03=289.0285

miles/Kilometers:
(the conversion #'s for mph to kph are "1.609344" & "0.6214", it runs a
little close together on that page)
so converting 100Km to miles is
100 x .6214 = 62.14mph
& the 55mph to Km is
55 x 1.6090344 = 88.45Km

Hope this helps.

Well, Dave, if I'm somewhere without my computer and I want to figure
something out, I can remember 62ci/liter and do the math in my head.
Imagine that! BTW, the advertised displacement for most engines is
approximate at best. Most "2.0L" engines are 19XX cc.

What i do is to set up a ratio-its not the most accurate but neither is the
liter designation they give to an engine (in other words, dont worry about
it). Since i know a 302 is 5.0L, i go: (5/302)=(liters/ci). If u want to
know the ci, u do (5/302)=(6.5L/??). Just go (302*6.5)/5 = 392.6 ci. It
sounds complicated but its just a ratio math problem (and u thought there
was no use for high school algebra!).

Hope this helps,

The only problem with this is that the 302 should have
been listed as 4.9 liters but it wasn't for marketing reasons.
If you convert the 302 cu. inches to liters and round to
the nearest 0.1 liters you get 4.9 but that number doesn't
sound as good as 5.0 since the 305 in the Camaro is just enough
bigger to round to 5.0 liters. Often me the marketing
people have the final say when the competition is close like
this.

1 cubic inch = 16.387 Cubic Centimeters
61.02 cubic inches/liter

Ford 302 calculation:

Displacement = # of cylinders x stroke x (pi x bore x bore / 4)

8 x 3in x (3.1416 x 4in x 4in / 4) = 301.59 cubic inches

301.59 cubic inches = 301.59 x 16.387 = 4,942.15 cc = 4.9442 liters

Rounds to 4.9 liters

Chevy 305 calculation:

Displacement = # of cylinders x stroke x (pi x bore x bore / 4)

8 x 3.48in x (3.1416 x 3.736in x 3.736in / 4) = 305.19 cubic inches

305.19 cubic inches = 305.19 x 16.387 = 5,001.15 cc = 5.001 liters

Rounds to 5.0 liters
