Re: compression ratio calculators (1.8T_EG)
All these questions about compression, but I am not sure if anyone here knows how to calculate it. It seems that everone seems to think their compression is soley determined by their piston. Compression is nothing more than a swept volume divided by a compressed volume. Some basic math and it can be figured.

(sweptvolume + compressedvolume) / (compressedvolume)
or
(sweptvolume / compressedvolume) + 1
The swept volume is easy, just bore & stroke. It's the compressed volume that's more difficult.
