In an internal combustion engine, there are cylinders that have pistons in them. When the piston is down you have an open cylinder that has a specific size of volume that it will hold. When the piston moves back up to as high as it can, it compresses all that space into the new space and that is the compression ratio.

As a car gets older will its compression ratio change?
Yes, as a car gets older its compression ratio will change. This is because the rings within the car will gradually age and rust.
How do you increase the compression ratio of a 1996 Chevy caprice94-96 Chevrolet caprice 9c1 police package car?
with higher compression pistons
What is the pressure of gas in cylinder during combustion?
Depends on the car. If it is naturally aspirated (no turbo or supercharger), then it's easy. Cylinder pressure = 14.5 (1 bar) * Compression Ratio. If however, it's forced induction: Cylinder pressure = ( 14.5 (1 bar) + Boost psi ) * Compression Ratio. For instance, in a naturally aspirated car with a 10.0:1 Compression Ratio : 145 psi = 14.5 * 10 Or in a turbo car with the unreasonably high 10.0 compression ratio with 10 psi boost : 245 psi= ( 14.5 + 10 ) * 10
What is the stock compression ratio on a Kia Spectra?
Depends on how strong your squirrel is. Small one is about 2:1 ratio. Large one has around 4:1 compression. About the same as a nitro rc car...Buy a 2012 mustang. 421 horsepower.
What is the compression ratio of a petrol engine?
It can be anywhere from 8.5 to 1 for a normal car to 13 to 1 or higher for a race engine.
What does Pontiac on a car mean?
It means that it was built by the Pontiac division of General Motors.
What does it mean when engine overheats but the car does not lose compression?
it means that the car wasnt overheated enough to gt to that point
Why diesel engine car is costlier than petrol engine car?
Due to the increase in the compression ratio of a diesel which fires on compression rather than spark, the engine is built much stronger than a petrol engine. It therefore just costs more to manufacture.
What make of engine are in a rover car?
If you mean the Land Rover, it is an engine built by Toyota Motors.
How do you increase the compression ratio of a 1996 Chevy caprice 9c1 police package car?
Change the pistons, or change the cylinder heads, or mill down the cylinder heads.
What is the combustion chamber size of a typical 2.4 liter V8 Formula 1 car?
Well if you know the displacement, number of cylinders, and geometric compression ratio, you have everything you need to figure out the clearance volume. Compression Ratio = (Displacement + Clearance Volume)/(Clearance Volume) - rearranged gives: clearance volume = displacement/(comp. ratio -1). A reasonable assumption of compression ratio on a modern F1 engine is somewhere around 12-13.5:1, I would say. So assume 12.8:1 compression ratio. You also now that each cylinder displaces 2400cc/8 = 300cc. So, clearance volume = ( 300cc ) / ( 12.8 - 1) = 25.42cc That should get you in the ballpark anyway.
What is the difference between crown motors and regular motors?
The difference between crown motors and regular motors is that crown motors is a company, and regular motors are not. Regular motors, are the motors that can be found under a car hood.
