"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 ...

We all know the age-old maxim, "There's no replacement for displacement." It's the truth. That's why so many sanctioning bodies use displacement and compression rules to limit engine power. Of course, ...

Hello Honda Tuning. I have a fully built, turbocharged D16Z6 in a '95 Civic EX coupe. It's not tuned yet, but the goal is 350 whp on pump gas. I have two specific questions that I'm hoping you can ...

Mechanical know how in our case has come largely from two sources. There have been those kind enough to show the way, and there has been the hard way. A long and proud lineup of 500-dollar cars has ...

One of the key variables for an internal combustion engine is its compression ratio. This is the ratio of the maximum volume within the cylinder (when the piston is at bottom dead center) and the ...

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 ...
