How to Use:

1. Enter Engine Information: Input the maximum engine RPM, engine size in cubic inches, and volumetric efficiency (in percentage).
2. Click “Calculate CFM”: Once you’ve entered the required information, click the button to calculate CFM.
3. View Results: The tool will quickly compute the required CFM for your engine’s carburetor and display the result.

Example Calculation:

Let’s consider the following engine specifications:

• Maximum Engine RPM: 6000
• Engine Size (Cubic Inches): 350
• Volumetric Efficiency: 85%

Using the formula:

CFM=Max RPM×Engine Size3456×(Efficiency100)CFM=3456Max RPM×Engine Size​×(100Efficiency​)

CFM=6000×3503456×(85100)CFM=34566000×350​×(10085​)

CFM=21000003456×0.85≈1281.25CFM=34562100000​×0.85≈1281.25

Result: The required CFM for the carburetor is approximately 1281.25.
