I am trying to find out what the conversion of 100 ci is in ci. I have a motorcycle that has a 100 ci engine and need to know how many cc it is. I know that a 1200 cc engine is a 74 ci.

cc stands for cubic centimeter and ci stands for cubic inches. You can convert between them on the Volume Conversion page here:
http://www.onlineconversion.com/volume.htm

100 cubic inch = 1638.7 cubic centimeter

Thats about 1640 cc

Guess you've never heard of a Harley 45 / 61 / 74 / 80.

How do you find out how many cc's a motor is?
I have this really nice weed wacker motor but i dont know how many cc's or ci's it is.

Electric motors wont have a volume size, only internal combustion engines.

The cc or ci measurement is actually the volume of the cylinders.

To calculate engine displacement or volume...

To calculate your engines displacement use this formula:
Piston Displacement = π x (radius)2 x stroke x number of cylinders

π = 3.14

radius = bore/2

stroke = the distance from TDC to BDC

number of cylinders = the number of cylinders in the engine



Here is an Example:

This engine has: Bore= 80mm

Stroke = 90mm

Number of Cylinders = 1

Radius = Bore/2

= 80 ÷ 2

= 40mm



Piston Displacement = π x (radius)2 x stroke x number of cylinders

= 3.14 x (40)2 x 90 x 1

= 3.14 x 1600mm x 90 x 1

= 452 160 mm3

You will notice that you answer is in mm3 . Engines are usually give a size of displacement in cm3 or commonly referred to as CC's. To convert your answer to CC's, divide your answer by 1000. In this example, you would have 452 160mm3 ÷ 1000 giving you an answer of 452.16 cm3 or 452.16 cc. This engine has a displacement of 452.16 cm3 or 452.16 cc.



Often larger engines have their displacements measured in litres. To get this measurement, divide you answer that is in cm3 or cc's by 1000. In this example, you would have 452.16cm3 ÷ 1000 giving you an answer of 0.452 Litre or 0.452 L. This engine has a displacement of 0.452 Litres or 0.452 L.





Here is One More Example:

This engine has: Bore= 87.5 mm

Stroke = 91.4 mm

Number of Cylinders = 2

Radius = Bore/2

= 87.5 ÷ 2

= 43.75 mm



Piston Displacement = π x (radius)2 x stroke x number of cylinders

= 3.14 x (43.75)2 x 91.4 x 2

= 3.14 x 1914mm x 91.4 x 2

= 1 098 656.5 mm3 or

= 1099 cm3 or

= 1.100 litres (L)

This engine is a 1.100 litre two cylinder engine.

You can use the information that you have to calculate the conversion. If you have a 1200cc engine and you know that it is 74ci. then divide 1200cc by 74ci to get 16.216ccpci (cc per ci). Now you can multiply 100ci. times the number of cc per ci to get 1621.6cc.

1200/74 = 16.216ccpci
100ci = ( 100ci * 16.216ccpci ) = 1621.6cc

1200/74 = 16.216ccpci
100ci = ( 100ci * 16.216ccpci ) = 1621.6cc

The exact conversion is 16.387 064 cm³/in³.
It is (2.54 cm/in)³

Keep in mind the 100 in³ engine is presumably somewhere between 99.5 and 100.5 in³, and don't use too much "decimal dust." The exact conversion is 1638.7064 cm³, but 1640 cm³ is consistent with the precision of the starting number.

mutiply cubic inches X 16 . 387064 and you get cc's

Check out the harley line up for the past......5 decades. They, make a 96 cubic inch engine. When the army used the harley as a utility veh. they switched to ci. for the purpose, of any soldier in the time would know how big the common veh. or bike is. This is where weight was a factor for getting through a mud hole.....

Harley went metric sometime after the auto. manufacturers in the 70's, but at least 25 years ago. Suzuki has always been metric. However, even a marketing guy can convert between cubic inches and cubic centimeters, I suspect the real answer is where it is sold and who the target market is, not where it is manufactured. If you saw the engineering drawings used for manufacture, not marketing hype, you'd realize everybody in automotive and related is metric.

You'd have to buy an aircraft from Boeing if you want transportation in feet and inches. (or a rocket from NASA)

Victrory uses a 100 CI motor on some models and now a 106 Ci on most of them. Victory says their 100 CI is 1634. Which is close enough to what the conversion says.

1000 cc = 1 liter ///////// 5.0 liter is 302-305 CI (ford mustang 302 or chevy 305) which is 5000cc so 6.6 liters is 6600cc and is 400ci or a 5.8 is 5800cc and is a 351 ... a 5.7 is a 5700cc and is 350ci so do the math 350/5700= .061 which means that for every CC there is a .061 ci
at least i think this is correct

Harley seems to go by ccs up to about 1200ccs, then switches to cu in. from there, e.g. the Sportster 883 and 1200 models. Our local Harley dealer sells a 124 cu in custom "chopper" motorcycle, which using the formula I believe comes out to 2032 ccs!

another way to calculate CI for an engine is as follows:

(Bore x Bore) x stroke x .7854 x # of cylinders

Example : SB chevy 350 at .030 overbore:

4.030 * 4.030 * 3.48 * .7854 * 8 = 355.116 CI

the method with pi works too, just personal preference i guess. you will see 2 to 3 tenths difference between the two usually but since most manufacturers round up anyway both are very accurate. this method comes to .15 ci when you change the bore size to 4.0 so it is the one i swear by, also easier for me to remember for some reason, and you don't have to find radius, you just use the diameter that you already have

The volume of a cylinder may be expressed either as
V = pi*r²*h = (pi/4)*d²*h
depending on whether you use radius or diameter. Your 0.7854 is just an approximation to pi/4, which, like pi, has an infinite number of decimals and has to be cut off somewhere.

There are 16.39 cc in 1 cubic inch so to convert cc to ci use

cc
ci = ---------
16.39


To convert ci to cc use

cc = ci * 16.39

I disagree with this claim. The size of the engine in most American vehicles (cars and light trucks) has been typically stated and badged in liters for over 30 years. The liter is a cubic decimeter, the cubic centimeter is rarely used in US vehicles but very common in European vehicles.

Sportsters are either 883 or 1200 CCs. Hence the models XL883 or XL1200.

To convert c.i. to cc, divide by 0.061.
In your case, 100c.i. =1639.34
To convert cc to c.i., simply multiply.
ie. (rounding up) 1640cc x 100ci = 100.04

Hello,
I wondered about this question myself. Here's what I learned:
1 inch = 2.54 cm (centameter)
1 ci (cubic inch)= 1inx1inx1in = 2.54cm x 2.54cmx 2.54cm= 16.39cc (cubic centameters)

therefore 1 cubic inch (ci)= 16.39 cubic centameters (cc) -> 16.39cc per cubic inch

so........ 1200cc/16.39cc percubic inch= 73.22ci, or 100 ci x 16.39cc/ci = 1640cc, and so on............ :-)

To the unregistered person who has never seen a motorcycle listed in Cubic Inches ~ Apparently you don't know much about motorcycles. Harley-Davidson is listed in CUBIC INCHES. I have owned a 55 CI. 61 CI, 74 CI, 96CI and currently ride a 103 CI Harley-Davidson.

Victory motorcycles have cubic inch instead of cc. Freedom 107, and 100.
