It's only teasing a bit of information for now, but it will be properly unveiled during this year's Paris Motor Show. Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car ...

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 ...

Apart from the very curious, not many people ask why diesel engines, compared to gasoline, run higher compression ratios. The argument is reasonably straightforward and starts with fuel ...

Assuming a properly tuned engine, there are three factors that contribute to poor streetability: long cam duration, high compression ratios, and excessive cruise rpm. Since cam selection is largely ...

Pretty simple question actually (or so my ignorant mind thinks): At what compression ratio would an engine benefit from higher octane fuel? The Focus I drive is just over 10:1, and I've heard some say ...

A refrigeration system’s compression or pressure ratio is defined as the absolute discharge pressure divided by the absolute suction pressure. Calculating this ratio can be a big help when it comes to ...

Installing a recycle valve in parallel with the antisurge valve of a turbine-driven multistage (low pressure/high pressure) centrifugal compressor, in combination with control system modifications, ...

Let’s clarify the numbers: the current Formula 1 regulations allow an internal combustion engine compression ratio of 16:1 measured at ambient temperature. All power units checked in Australia were ...

Starting from the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix weekend, the hotly-debated compression ratio 'trick' will officially be banned. One of the hottest topics of the pre-season, the issue attracted so much ...
