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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Apart from the very curious, not many people ask why diesel engines, compared to gasoline, run higher compression ratios. The argument is reasonably straightforward and starts with fuel ...

Formula 1 is entering a new era in 2026 because of its regulation overhaul, which is arguably the biggest in the championship ...

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, ...

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 ...

The FIA have confirmed that new rules will be in place to prevent compression ratios going above 16:1 effectively closing a ...

Pretty simple question actually (or so my ignorant mind thinks): At what compression ratio would an engine benefit from higher octane fuel? The Focus I drive is just over 10:1, and I've heard some say ...

Installing a recycle valve in parallel with the antisurge valve of a turbine-driven multistage (low pressure/high pressure) centrifugal compressor, in combination with control system modifications, ...
