🔧 Carburetor CFM Calculator

Calculate carburetor CFM requirements, air flow, and engine breathing capacity

📐 Carburetor CFM Formulas

CFM = (CID × RPM × VE) / 3456
CFM = (Engine Size × Max RPM × 0.85) / 3456
CFM = (Displacement × RPM × VE) / 3456
CFM = (Power × 1.5) / 100
CFM = cubic feet per minute, CID = cubic inch displacement, RPM = revolutions per minute, VE = volumetric efficiency, Power = horsepower

💡 Tips

  • CFM requirements depend on engine size and RPM
  • Higher RPM engines need more CFM
  • Altitude affects air density and CFM needs
  • Volumetric efficiency varies with engine modifications
  • Oversized carburetors can hurt low-end performance
  • Consider fuel type and mixture requirements
