The Additional Development and Upgrade Opportunities (ADUO) will be a bigger factor in Ferrari finding engine performance, ...

From June 1, the FIA will impose tougher tests on F1 power units in an attempt to clamp down on the compression ratio saga, ...

Every car engine has quite a few details, ranging from cylinder count to compression ratios. How does changing the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur does not expect the new compression ratio regulation set to come into force at the start of the summer to be a 'game changer'. A few weeks ago, the FIA moved to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Strictly defined, compression ratio is the total volume above the piston at bottom dead center (BDC), divided by the total volume above the piston at top dead center (TDC). First, let's look at the ...

“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 ...
