[Spridgets] converting engine size math

[Guy Weller]

David,
I have no problem at all with your different spelling. But I  am not so sure
that you corrected it!
Spelling consistency really only became an issue about 150 years ago. Before
that it was much more  liberal with alternative spellings being the
acceptable norm, often  when written by the same individual in the same
sentence!
I am only alert to spelling variations because of my wasted years spent at
English English-speaking schools. As opposed to American English-speaking
schools!

        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
