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

Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur does not expect the new compression ratio regulation set to come into force at the start of the summer to be a 'game changer'. A few weeks ago, the FIA moved to ...

As you may know, an engine's compression ratio is directly linked to its combustion efficiency. All else being equal, higher-compression engines tend to make more power while offering better fuel ...

After weeks of speculation, the next step in the ongoing power unit compression ratio saga has been decided. On Wednesday, the FIA confirmed details of a new compression ratio measurement technique ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
