How to lower the engines compression ratio
Reducing the compression ratio is required if you want to run a high boost supercharged engine. High compression NA (naturally aspirated) engines are quite efficient but when adding forced induction you want to lower the compression ratio.
The compression ratio has a dramatic effect on an engines performance and the problem of knock, (where the air fuel mix prematurely ignites) is controlled to a large degree by the compression ratio.
Fuel GuideWe look at race fuels, street fuels, discuss lead, 2 stroke fuel and everything in between. If there is something you need to know about fuel and which one would be best for you then it’s in this article.
Turbos ExplainedLet’s look at some questions that we’ve had about turbos “what is a turbo” “why were turbos invented” and “how do they work “, “what are blow-off valves”, “what’s a wastegate actuator do” and “what are twin scroll turbos & what’s the difference between them and standard turbos”?
Benefits and drawbacks of engine water injection systemsYou’ve finished tuning up your engine but you find that at full throttle the engine splutters or stalls. When you get the car on a diagnostic you find that the knock sensor is kicking in to protect the engine.
Engine knock is a condition where the fuel inside the engine ignites prematurely and occurs within an engine running at high compression. (It can also be caused by other factors including low octane/poor quality fuel or hot spots within the engine.)
