2000cc

I doubt you need to use the conversion link. Just think of 1600 as a 1.6 liter, a 2.0 liter engine as a 2000cc, a 1700 as a 1.7 liter engine and so forth. Damn Americans, why can't we convert to the metric system :shock: (joking there). So the next time that american muscle 5.0 Mustang rolls past you.....well know that he has a 5000cc motor. Helps keep things in perspective.

Another thing to remember is that a cubic centimeter (cc) equals a milliliter (ml). 1000ml = 1l (liter). Therefore 2.0 liters = 2000 ml = 2000 cc.

Correct me if I'm wrong but there's some rounding being done in some cases.

A 1.9 may be a 1915cc and a 2054cc may be a 2.0 or 2.1 for example.

When did basic math become "high performance/engines/racing"? :?

And why is my header a 1 5/8" when the rest of my engine is metric?

Because it's easier to get SAE fractional tubing than metric tubing.

Why are your rims 15x5.5 ???

Why to people use 1/4" fuel hose when it should be 5.5mm?

Well the place you will find this is stock vw engines, non are the exact cc, for example a 1600 is a 1584 etc.

The reason move vw people talk in exact cc is to the well trained a way of knowing what stroke and bore you have.

For example if i said I had a 2L, that could be many engine combos, but if I had said a 2007cc most would know its a 78x90.5 etc

If your question is referring to the 2 liter Type IV engine used in late model bay window buses or in the 914 2.0, that displacement was 1971 cc (94mm bore x 71 mm stroke).
