thought Id post this up for those that haven't seen this before.

 

Its a great engine calculator for L4's, L6's, Z motors, KA, SR, VG and RB

[izzo]

nice, what is a headgaskets default height?

[sssr20det510]

Ya i was playing around with that when i was thinking about building a lz22 turbo motor, its pretty cool

[bonvo]

im guessing all the measurements are in millimeters?

 

edit: im diggin this thing though its fun and lets me see the compression ill be running and so on for different parts its like having datzenmike on call 24/7

How do you get a combustion chamber volume of -1cc? Or better yet how would you measure a head with a 1cc protrusion proud off the deck surface?

And while the bore spacing is the same; a KA24 and Z24 crank main bearing sizes are not the same. why would it show as the same crank or engine class?, It does NOT fit into a L/Z block, nor does it prevent you from putting a L18 crank in a Z block, same problem.

You kinda need to bring your own measurements to the program to be sure it s telling you the truth, but a neat calculator none the less.

the heads with -1 are ones that havent had the CC's inputed. when you mix and match parts you have to make sure all info is matched up in the fields

 

 

its not 100% but its a good tool for estimates

i think there is a bug with this i try and do a z22e with a u67 head and it freaks out saying the piston is byond the head gasket height

"its like having datzenmike on call 24/7"

 

No calculator is going to be like that.   Not even close.

[Laecaon]

Works fine for me with that combo.

 

make sure to use a head gasket crush of 1.2

You kind of need to carry your own equipements in the dimensions to the system to be sure if it is informing you the fact, but a nice  calculator could be more of helpful in determing and bringing out the great result .
