Guy -
A Liter is the same thing as a Litre, except that we corrected the
spelling... ;-)
My wife is from Kent and we have these discussions all the time - colour /
color,
tyre / tire, etc, etc, you guys should be happy we straightened all this stuff
out.

Linda,
A litre is defined as 1000cc. So your 1275 engine is 1.25 litres.
But maybe Americans use an odd measure of a liter, as you spell it
differently. But I believe a liter and a litre to both be the same volume.
Also, if you want to use Cubic Inches, there are about 16cc in a cubic inch,
so 1275 divided by 16 = 79.6 cubic inches

List,
I am trying to locate the formula to convert the size of my motor in cc to
US motor size of liter? What is the formula? I want to see the math for the
size of my daily driver to the cc Sprite motor. I have a 1994 Saturn SW2
(wagon model) and according to the statics it is a 1.9 liter, dual overhead
cam, 4- valves per cylinder, fuel injected engine with 124 horsepower. If
the engine is 1.9 liter and my Sprite is 1275cc how do I convert each to
determine what is liter the Sprite 1275cc engine is or convert the Saturn
1.9 liter to cc?
Also how do I calculate the horsepower for the Sprite?
Thanks Linda
