Doesn't a turbo effectively increase the engine discplacement?

second, a head that can flow well for a 2.5l engine would look way different than a 5l engine. apples/oranges.

Even if the 5l is made out of two 2.5l engines? (m20+m20=m70)

But they were run as two separate 2.5l engines.

I'm just sayin` that total displacement is irrelevant, it all comes down to dimensions of each cylinder.

So how would the displacement of 2 2.5's compare to say.....

In for this...conveyor belt is going "-" displacement when plain is going "+" displacement. It should equal to 0 net displacement. However, the jet engines push on air not the conveyor belt. The air still is in "0" displacement and the jet turbine is pushing air in the "-" direction causing, by laws of physics, to push in the opposite "+" direction. Think of the conveyor belt as a useless piece of information in a story problem back in school that doesn't matter in the calculation you have to do.

technically, neither are moving therefore 0 displacement.

"...Nitrous is fun, but we've also been toying with turbos. The fashionable motto is that adding one atmosphere, or 14.7 pounds of boost, essentially doubles the size of the engine. Now your 745 hp is 1490 hp..."
