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

Forget variable length intakes and variable valve timing, Infiniti is going all the way and introducing variable cylinder compression ratios. The new VC-T turbo engine automatically adjusts between a ...

You might have heard about high compression ratios, but what exactly are they, and what kind of effect do they have on an engine's fuel efficiency?

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 ...

At least 150hp of a Pro Stock engine is due to the use of ultra high compression ratios (CR) of 16:1--or more. 110 octane race fuels make this possible, but don't be fooled into thinking that the use ...

The effects of compression ratio on brake thermal efficiency at full load as well as part load operating conditions typical of those encountered in the CAFE test procedure are important considerations ...

The Porsche-Hilite technology is comparatively simple, and could be offered to every automaker if and when VCR comes to market. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new ...

Despite the turbulence Nissan has faced over the past few years, some of its technology is undeniably impressive. Perhaps the crowning jewel of this engineering power is its variable compression ...

Engineers have a lot to think about when designing new engines, and one of the biggest considerations is the shape of the ...

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 ...
