Bidirectional Conversion

This converter works both ways simultaneously:

  • Type in cubic inches → cubic centimeters updates automatically
  • Type in cubic centimeters → cubic inches updates automatically
  • No buttons to click - works as you type

Common Uses

  • Engine displacement (car engines)
  • Volume calculations
  • Packaging and shipping
  • Fluid capacities

šŸ“ How This Converter Works

This is a bidirectional converter that works in real-time:

  1. Cubic Inches → CC: When you type in the cubic inches field, the cubic centimeters field automatically updates
  2. Cubic Centimeters → Cubic Inches: When you type in the cubic centimeters field, the cubic inches field automatically updates
  3. No swapping needed: Both conversions happen simultaneously
  4. Real-time: Updates happen as you type, no button clicks required
// Bidirectional Conversion Logic:
cm³ = in³ Ɨ 16.387064
in³ = cm³ ÷ 16.387064

// Example 1: Type "100" in cubic inches
cm³ = 100 Ɨ 16.387064 = 1,638.71

// Example 2: Type "2000" in cubic centimeters
in³ = 2000 ÷ 16.387064 = 122.05
