In this video, we explore the compression ratio of your engine, covering its definition and significance, as well as how it ...

Compression in a diesel engine is essential for effective and efficient performance. And when compression is lacking, damage can result. That is why it’s imperative to know whether your engine’s ...

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 ...

At first glance, the concept of engine compression is simple enough:It's the ratio of the volume of the combustion chamber and bore when thepiston is at bottom dead center (BDC) versus when it is at ...

As we near the end of the road for internal-combustion engines, manufacturers are spending big money to eke out small gains in fuel economy. The latest miracle is Nissan’s VC-T engine, the first ...

Compression: An automotive term used by everybody, forever. Let's get into some detail and maybe develop a better understanding. Pressure, and more pressure: It's a must-have to produce power within ...

Nissan engineers have reportedly been working on the engine concept for more than 20 years, and the company claims to have filed more than 300 patents protecting the design and associated technologies ...

A fundamental difference between gasoline and diesel engines is that a gasoline engine uses spark ignition while a diesel engine uses compression ignition. Before we delve deeper, let's understand how ...
