calculating new engine displacement
So after an .020" (.5mm) overbore and lowered compression ratio with supertech 8.6:1 pistons, I realized I need to update my REQ_FUEL on my megasquirt. I was thinking, oh, I'll just use the REQ_FUEL calculator in tunerstudio....
then I realized I don't know what it is anymore. Stock BP 1.8 is 1839cc. Overbore to .020 with stock compression pistons is supposed to be 1862cc according to this thread http://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=323324 but then I have lower compression pistons. Is there a quick way to figure this out? or should I just leave it as stock displacement? |
Changing the compression ratio will not change displacement. When the piston moves down in the cylinder, it will draw the same amount of volume as a high compression piston.
Only thing that will effect volume is bore and stroke. |
ya... just a geometry problem. for one cylinder's volume: Pi / 4 * bore^2 * stroke / 1000. then multiply by 4 for 4 cylinders.
Pi / 4 * 83.5^2 * 85 / 1000 * 4 = 1862cc But really there's no need to change Req_fuel for such a small change in displacement. |
Thats why you have a WB O2.... what are the readings? That will be what you should look at before changing the fuel tables.
That little bit of boring is not enough to worry about... |
