i think i was previously under the impression that size ~ displacement. however, you've schooled me today thanks for providing the math behind what you're saying, it makes sense now.

i will stand by the size argument then...for size/power output, though different, the Renesis is 'better' than our F20C.

lol i see what you mean.

for instance, to calculate the displacement (what we all usually call the size of someone's engine, though technically that's a misnomer) it's a calculation.

If you can imagine, when our piston is at bottom dead center, then the amount of air it "displaces" or moves in the motion of the pistong going from bottom dead center to top dead center. So really displacement has nothing to do with physical size, even though we ask how big someone's engine is. lol. i know it's confusing.

check this page, explains it short and to the point.

that's like saying a M1A2's gas turbine engine should be included, too.
