Read on as we list ways to figure and measure your compression ratio, total piston volume, and choosing the best pistons. Read on for more details along with photos only in Mopar Muscle Magazine ...

Static compression is what engineers, engine builders, and even do-it-yourselfers dial in to an engine build. Basically, it's the exact compression ratio formulated into engine construction in a ...

How to Calculate Compression Ratio from Scratch As an example, let’s calculate the CR for a popular big-block Chevy application.

Most pickup trucks sold today have internal combustion engines. Passenger vehicles are powered by two main types of engines: compression, aka diesel, and spark ignition, aka gasoline. Besides the ...

The compression ratio describes the volume of an engine cylinder when the piston is at the top versus the bottom of its travel.

Infiniti's taught the internal combustion engine a new trick to raise its versatility a bit -- variable compression ratios.

Nissan varies the compression ratio between 8.0:1, a fairly low number—though typical for a turbocharged engine—and up to 14.0:1, very high for any engine, let alone one with boost.

Mazda‘s upcoming SkyActiv-G engines will get a 14:1 compression ratio, the highest in the world for a gasoline engine, according to a report in Autoweek.Most cars run compression ratios of 8.5:1 ...

About those hurdles: Gasoline engines do some things better and diesels are better at others. With compression ratio, diesels have the edge; specific heat ratio, diesels again; combustion period ...

Other than the fact it can adjust its compression ratio between 8:1 for high performance and 14:1 for maximum efficiency, the Infiniti VC-T can adjust its displacement.
