OK, here is a quiz. Let's see who can think outside the box for a minute. I recently put a SuperCharger on a motorcycle. Some of you may have seen it in another blog. If not there are a couple pics below. In the Aviation industry we call them "Altitude Compensators" or sometimes "Dispalcement Comensators". The displacement of a particular engine is determined by a simple formula. Bore divided by two, squared, times pi, times the number of cylinders, times the stroke. In this case we have a bore of 3.875" and a stroke of 4.00" this will yeild a displacement of 94.345948" or 94.35". The Supercharger runs at 9 pounds of boost. On a standard day of 29.92 inches of mercury the ambient pressure is 14 pounds per square inch. How many cubic inches are we "compensating" on a standard day? Or, what is the total "compensated displacement on a standard day? It really easy, see if you guys can figure it out.........
