Displacement is a function of only three things: the cylinder bore, the crankshaft stroke, and the number of cylinders. It doesn't make any difference what rods, pistons, head, cams, oilpan, etc you have, only those three things change displacement.
To increase the displacement you need to either increase the bore, lengthen the stroke of the crankshaft, or add more cylinders.

So how can I calculate displacement? I've seen compression calculators, is there one for displacement?

Please explain your claim, I don't see it.
Displacement = pi*r^2*stroke*#cylinders. No compression mentioned. My GSR has the exact same displacement as an ITR with higher compression. All compression changes is the volume of the combustion chamber.

haha.. nevermind I'm a moron.
I was thinking *** backwards. combustion chamber area.. blah.
Ignore my staying up late insanity.

It makes a lower displacment motor "act" like it has more displacement
Edit: more cylinder volume to utalize when the piston is at tdc. you can let more air and fuel into the larger volume of a low compression motor at tdc

But with proper intake air velocity and valve timing, it would make a hell of a lot more power with higher compression.

Re: Does lowering the compression increase your displacement? (Hondasareus)
a lot of people don't seem to get that displacement is the amount of (air/gas) being DISPLACED in the chamber, NOT the amount of (air/gaz) IN the chamber, either way they would have called it engine volume or something like that!!

yea, most of my thoughts are from turbo
