The purpose of your engine is to compress fuel and air and then ignite it, creating heat energy that then makes mechanical motion. If your engine can't compress the air and fuel properly, the engine ...

A documented 1965 Austin-Healey BJ8 project with heritage certification, high-compression engine and overdrive is offered as ...

For more than a century now, automotive engineers have struggled with an unavoidable balancing act when it comes to engine compression. Now, thanks to an innovation from Infiniti, they may get to ...

Compression: An automotive term used by everybody, forever. Let's get into some detail and maybe develop a better understanding. Pressure, and more pressure: It's a must-have to produce power within ...

While the fashion in high-tech automotive developments might lean towards hybrids and electric vehicles at the moment, there’s still plenty of scope to improve the good old internal combustion engine ...

Increasing an engine’s compression ratio is a proven way of unlocking extra horsepower, but there’s a point of diminishing returns. The team at Garage 54, the Russian mechanics who built a V16 using ...

We might be covering ground that's well trampled for many, but the static compression ratio of an engine is simple to understand: it's all the volume of a cylinder above the compression ring at Bottom ...

A gasoline piston engine that can dynamically change its compression ratio —that is, the amount by which the piston squeezes the fuel-air mixture in the cylinder—has long been a holy grail of engine ...

The compression ratio clarification wasn’t the only one issued by the FIA. For some time now, F1 has used ultrasonic fuel ...

A fundamental difference between gasoline and diesel engines is that a gasoline engine uses spark ignition while a diesel engine uses compression ignition. Before we delve deeper, let's understand how ...
