Fun calculator but it isn't really applicable to the Honda engines I'm familiar with. For instance it predicts my engine to produce 107HP, when the spec is for 145HP.

Love this discussion!

What's the relationship between more smaller cylinders, and fewer bigger cylinders with the same total displacement, and FE? Would the larger cylinders typically be better due to reduced friction?
