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 ...

“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 ...

With the combustion chamber being the root of all horsepower, it only makes sense that you start spec'ing an engine build there. One of the key variables in engine building is compression ratio, or ...

Every engine has a specific compression ratio. The air-fuel mixture is compressed in the cylinder to create an ignition, the force of which depends on the compression ratio: the volume of the cylinder ...

The MCE-5 engine from MCE-5 Development in Lyon, France (www.mce-5.com), varies its compression ratio and uses a combined gear and rod-crank mechanism. Varying compression from 7:1 to 20:1 makes the ...

SAE International Journal of Engines, Vol. 10, No. 3 (June 2017), pp. 817-831 (15 pages) ABSTRACT Increasing compression ratio (CR) is one of the most fundamental ways to improve engine efficiency, ...

Infiniti has introduced an all-new 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine at the 2016 Paris Motor Show. Heralded as the world’s first production-ready variable compression ratio engine, the VC-Turbo is on display ...

Infiniti has unveiled the world’s first variable compression ratio engine which many auto pundits suggest is one of the most advanced internal combustion engines ever conceived. Displacing 2.0-liters ...
