1.1 Safe to install
Engine Calculator Plus is a tool created to assist users in determining engine specifications for various types of car or aircraft engines, ranging from inline 4 to V12 configurations.
This calculator offers computations for engine displacement based on both the metric and US standard systems.
- User-friendly interface
- Selection of engine type, including single cylinder, complex W16, or custom cylinder counts
- Display of a 3D engine representation based on selection
- Metric or Imperial input options
- Outputs engine displacement in cc, liters, and cubic inches
- Calculates compression ratio of the engine
- Estimates horsepower in HP and Kilowatts
- Inclusion of formula for engine displacement calculation in the help section
- Results can be copied to other applications
The static compression ratio of an engine can be easily determined once you have information on six specific measurements or volumes:
- Bore - The cylinder bore diameter
- Stroke - The distance the piston travels within the cylinder
- Deck Height - The space between the top of the cylinder bore and the top of the piston at TDC
- Piston top volume - Variances in piston design can impact compression ratio
- Combustion chamber volume - The amount of open space in the head above the cylinder
A higher compression ratio within a cylinder results in enhanced power and fuel efficiency. This is achieved not only through increased charge compression and combustion pressure but also due to the higher expansion ratio that allows for more energy extraction from the initial high pressure.
Engines with high compression ratios burn fuel cleaner and more efficiently compared to those with lower compression ratios. While a lower compression engine permits the use of cheaper fuel, it sacrifices efficiency and power output.

Pros
- Wide range of engine types supported (single cylinder up to complex layouts like W16 and custom cylinder counts)
- Metric and Imperial (US Standard) input support
- Calculates engine displacement and outputs in cc, liters, and cubic inches
- Calculates static compression ratio when required measurements/volumes are provided
- Provides estimated horsepower in HP and kilowatts
- Includes formulae/explanations in the help page (useful for learning/verification)
- 3D engine visualization based on selection (helps with understanding configuration)
- Results are copyable to other apps (easy export/share)
- Small app download size (around 2.4 MB)
- Paid app (one-time purchase) — no subscription required
Cons
- Multiple user reports of crashes and instability (app reportedly crashes within ~30 seconds for some users)
- User reviews cite inaccurate calculations (examples include implausible compression ratios and horsepower estimates), raising concerns about reliability for engineering use
- Last noted updates appear to be several years old (2018–2020), suggesting limited recent maintenance or new-feature development
- Limited platform availability — appears targeted/designed for iPad/iOS only (no Android or desktop versions indicated)
- Developer contact/support information on the site is minimal (contact page content sparse), which may make troubleshooting or reporting bugs difficult
- No clear mention of thorough validation or testing of calculation algorithms (which is important for technical accuracy)
- Small app size and minimal metadata may indicate limited feature depth compared with more comprehensive engine-design tools
- Some reviewers report the app is unusable or not working on their device — possible compatibility issues with certain iOS versions/devices
- No visible release notes detailing fixes for reported calculation inaccuracies (minor bug-fix notes provided but without detail)
- No explicit privacy/data-use details visible in the app listing or contact page (may be a concern for some organizations)
