Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. As you may know, an engine's compression ratio is directly linked to its combustion efficiency. All else being equal, ...

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 ...

At first glance, the concept of engine compression is simple enough:It's the ratio of the volume of the combustion chamber and bore when thepiston is at bottom dead center (BDC) versus when it is at ...

Nissan’s variable-compression turbo (VC-Turbo) is a unique engine capable of variable compression adjustment. Unlike traditional engines, which have a fixed compression ratio, the VC-Turbo engine ...

With every passing day the Mule provides opportunities beyond our original expectations. Since the 467ci engine belongs to HPP editor Tom DeMauro, it is at our beck and call. This affords HPP the ...

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 ...

Since 1998, Nissan has been working on a new kind of engine that could realize many automotive engineers’ dreams: an engine with a variable compression ratio. This was Nissan going against the hybrid ...

Formula 1’s new 2026 power units will debut at the Circuit de Catalunya in just over five weeks’ time, but questions over a grey area of the new regulations have already come to light. German outlet ...

As you may know, an engine's compression ratio is directly linked to its combustion efficiency. All else being equal, higher-compression engines tend to make more power while offering better fuel ...
