"Too little compression will usually result in unmet performance expectations. On the high side [too much compression] carries greater risk in tuning and potential component failure if appropriately ...

The compression ratio isn’t just a number: it’s one of the greatest determining factors in engine building. Compression ratio determines the type of fuel, how much boost, and has a significant ...

We all know the age-old maxim, "There's no replacement for displacement." It's the truth. That's why so many sanctioning bodies use displacement and compression rules to limit engine power. Of course, ...

Mechanical know how in our case has come largely from two sources. There have been those kind enough to show the way, and there has been the hard way. A long and proud lineup of 500-dollar cars has ...

Steady state experiments on a single cylinder spark ignition engine were performed to investigate the effects of compression ratio on nitric oxide and hydrocarbon emissions using natural gas as the ...
