1500....?

A 1500cc engine (actually 1493.33...) is 83mm bore x 69mm stroke...

I think it is a single port

bore x bore x stroke x 0.0031416 = total cylinder cc's (not counting the combustion chambers)

I know about a 1300 (1285cc) and a 1600 (1584cc). But then I see a Beetle with a 1500 badge on the back. Was there a 1500 Beetle, or is it a 1584 Single Port?

Slight clarification; The displacement of a cylinder is it's swept volume, or how much air the cylinder displaces as the piston sweeps through it's travel. Multiply this by the number of cylinders and you get the engine's displacement. (Note that the formula you gave already has this figured in, so it won't work if you try using it for a 911 engine, or one of those evil V8s!)

The combustion chamber volume figures into the compression ratio but has no effect on what is refered to as "displacement".

I have new 83mm 1500 piston sets.Steve www.914underground.com

Oh yeah, I guess I forgot to mention that it only works for a 4 cyl engine
