What's the formula for determining piston speed given stroke, compression ratio and RPMs?

Default iirc 1.8T at 6000 rpm is...

17.28 m/sec! compression ratio has no effect! this is an average not top speed.

Default Mean piston speed.....

MPS = (stroke * RPM)/6

where,
MPS is in feet per minute
stroke is in inches

On an S4 (and most Audi engines):
Stroke = 3.40 in

At 7000RPM:
MPS = 3966.7 ft/min = 66.1 ft/sec = 20.2 m/sec

(rpm * stroke) will give you total distance back and forth over 1 minute

Default MAX piston speed.....

for rod lgth about 2x stroke is 1.6X the mean speed, or 106 ft/sec for your case.

based on formula for piston height vs crank angle.
